Bunco and Swimming and HTML...oh my!

You might be wondering - What have we been up to since Tuesday?  In my ideal world I have all sorts of followers wondering what we've been up to and hoping for a new post today.  Ha!  I know that's probably a little far fetched since this is, what, my 5th or 6th post since I "re-joined" the blogging world?  Well with all the efforts and confusion and complaining I have put on to my poor husband about figuring out the layout and menu bar and links to my blog I certainly hope that this is interesting to somebody out there :)

I owe my husband a little shout out for being so awesome.  He knows EXACTLY what to say to talk me off the edge of insanity when it comes to just about anything.  I admit I have the tendency to *freak out* here and there.  I get fixated on things being clean or organized or looking the right way.  My handsome, hard-working hubby manages to remind me to "not sweat the small stuff" and he ALWAYS offers to help out!  Is this lucky or what?  Anyways - his most recent awesomeness happened yesterday when I was freaking out about how much I didn't understand HTML and fonts and links and uploads and all the things that I envy about other people's blogs.  He listened (or read - since we were typing to each other - you can still be awesome over the computer!!) and then reminded me that he was going to help and that we'd figure it out together and to remember all the little things.  And most importantly he reminded me that this is blog v1.0 and that the "upgrade" v.2.0 was going to be even more awesome.  So, with that said people...I promise this blog will be more entertaining that just us Fox stories soon enough. I want links (pintrest, other blogs, recipes, DYI projects) and fun fonts and pictures edited...we'll see one step at a time!

Alright a quick summary of where we've been...

Wednesday: Braden had school so Gracie and I went to Target.  Love that store.  After preschool pick up we had lunch, naps, I did too much blog reading/editing/envying.  We had spaghetti for dinner, kids went to bed and then Pete and I watched waaay too many episodes of Sons of Anarchy.

Thursday: Braden had swim lessons and SWAM by himself for the first time.  He is literally a FISH suddenly.  I'm in love with watching him do it.  He's so proud of himself and it makes me so proud to watch.  Afterwards we went to Stop and Shop and bought these seriously delicious looking cupcakes that I sometime want to be able to make (picture to follow).  Then I was a crazy lady throughout nap-time and spent the entire time trying to change my layout (do you like it!?) and add a menu/tabs bar (clearly not successful yet!).  After nap I cleaned and cleaned and chased the kids around to get the house all set up for Bunco - which I was hosting.  We ate pizza for dinner (I had big cooking plans but then realized that I had cleaned the house and wasn't about to mess up the kitchen!), kids to bed and then the ladies came over to play Bunco.
