Made it through another weekend. Whew! Yesterday was warm (around 80) and sunny, but today is cloudy and in the low 50s. Cole went over to see if the neighbor girls could play this afternoon, and they told him it was too cold to come outside and play. This doesn't bode well for playing outside this winter!

Cory didn't put in quite as many hours delivering pizza this weekend, which is what he's doing right now, but he still managed to make decent tips. He even received a $15 tip on Friday. It felt really strange to wake up on Saturday and not have to get ready for a soccer game. Accalia did have a birthday party in the afternoon, which was a lot of fun for her, and the rest of us did a little grocery shopping after dropping her off.

I've felt very little motivation this weekend and some of last week - not even motivated to read much of the book I'm currently reading! - and I'm really hoping my motivation comes roaring back this week. We don't have too much out of the ordinary going on. Accalia has ballet on Monday and tap on Friday. There's storytime on Tuesday and art on Wednesday. I'm finally getting a haircut on Tuesday after months since my last one.

So it should be a pretty typical week - the week before Ella turns two. I do hope Ella's crankiness abates a little - it's been better today - although there are plenty of reasons for her to be a little out of sorts. She has several teeth coming in, including molars. I can see, too, that she's trying so hard to do things that she can't quite manage yet and that easily frustrates her. She's so determined to do everything that she sees Accalia and Cole doing, and sometimes that ends up being frustrating for all three of them. This just seems to be one of those times of growing and adjusting and transitioning as a family that is a little harder than other times.
