We have now had visitors for NINE weekends in a row. Yes, you read that right, NINE. In between our crazy weekends though, Micah and I got to slow down a little bit mid-week for once. We spent last Tuesday night at home, ate a crockpot dinner, did some work around the house, I neglected my homework and caught up on blogs for the evening, and Micah cleaned out two of his messy dresser drawers much to my delight. It was a good night and made us realize how much we had been craving some down time with just the two of us. On Thursday night we had a weekday date night, and we went to watch our beloved Washington Huskies play ASU in basketball. It was a close, fun game and the Huskies walked away with the victory so all was well in the Russum household.
Here are some other lovely little moments from our week from Phoebe’s point of view…
Baskin Robbins craving… like one hour before dinner.
Oh, and this was dinner. Chips // Guacamole // Salsa // Queso – it doesn’t get better than that.
Busted out the new sewing machine. Good thing my mom was in town to teach me how to use it!
Back in running mode and it feels good {and HORRIBLE at the same time}.
That’s what happens when you take two months off I suppose.
Two completely unexpected notes of encouragement came in the mail on the same day. // RIP Picnik!
Work day at one of my fave Phoenix spots – LGO.
Date night with Micah. Go Huskies!
I baked both these cakes for my sister in law’s birthday party. Recipes coming soon!
And the birthday party was themed “Sweatin’ to the Oldies.” We totally did a Richard Simmons workout video. Yes, video. As in VHS. Bring it!

Love down time as well! We've had really weird short 4 day school weeks lately, and today I'm enjoying my "semester break day" – took Brutus to the vet, got caught up on e-mail, finalized English & AVID grades (my student teacher will do Social Studies – holla), and that's about it. We've had visitors a lot lately, too. Sunday nights are nice and peaceful (usually). Love ya girl.
those are lovely little things, LOVE EM'!!! All your shoe shots are so so cute!
So many cute shoes! Good job getting started running again, so hard after time off!
I love the cakes, the chips and dips and your blue shoes with flowers on! very cute! 🙂
