a joyful nest: beautiful chaos

everyone who knows me, knows i thrive in a structured environment. i get comfy in a routine, i always have a plan, and you can't even try to convince me to put down the sanitizing wipe that's in my right hand. with that said, the past few weeks have been unstructured, my plans have proven to be unhelpful and it turns out that when the first two things are out of whack i could care less about those sanitizing wipes! man oh man, God has a sense of humor! i am well aware that it is time for me to post a "whatcha got cooking" on here. but guess what? i haven't cooked since thanksgiving! that's right, i'm on strike. now don't start feeling sorry for my boys. we had a solid week of left overs. mixed in with some eating out here and there. and last week we were in hawaii. no one went hungry. more importantly than being well fed, everyone seems to be happy. even me. perhaps a little dose of beautiful chaos was needed.

i decided on a total whim one day that coen needed a haircut. again, not like me. typically i would call a week in advance and schedule the haircut around his nap to ensure that he could be in the best possible mood. ha! instead i called 30 minutes prior and i even woke him up to go! who am i?

for thanksgiving we had a visit from wes' parents and grandparents. coen had so much fun with everyone. it was great for him to have them in his environment. he warmed up to everyone right away. of course everyone brought their doogies too, we have a total of 4 crazy labs running around the house.
