bits + pieces

Not much this week to write about in my bits + pieces post to end the week - well, lots going on, but I'm pooped, and I'll save it for next week. :) Looking back at the week, Aubrey took part in his yearly football game with his friends last weekend -  Oscar and I went to watch for a little bit but quickly ended up at my Mom's to stay warm, have some tea, and then went home while Aubrey stayed out and socialize. I guess I could have hired a babysitter and gone out to socialize too but I'm old and I get just as much (if not more) enjoyment from puttering around the house in my PJ's in a quiet house. (I'm so boring) Aubrey came having had a good time but also came home with a black eye and likely a concussion from getting a boot to the head while playing football. Ouch. Anyhow, here are some links to end the week!

• On the topic of staying active, here is a great website that I've bookmarked on staying active with kids. It's something I want to have at the core of our family - staying active, but also, staying active together. I found that this past Summer, just kayaking with Oscar was one of my fondest memories. So finding things to be active, and do together is a priority. 
• Animals out of toilet paper rolls
• In our next house I would like this bedroom, this kitchen, mudroom, library, and wallpaper somewhere in the house. (Yes, that is wallpaper!)
• Aubrey, Oscar and I are heading to Great Wolf Lodge with some friends and their in a few weeks. I think Oscar will have a blast - but the thought of having to get into a bathing suit at this time of year is not really making me all that excited. (I swear I gain hibernation pounds, it's just part of my genetic makeup - nothing to do with eating these, and these)
