\"Langley<\/p>\n

* Coffee. Black. Art has been on my case for some time now to ditch the International Delight Hazelnut Creamer. And I confess I was a little attached to the stuff. But we are very budget-conscious these days and my $5\/week habit (shameful isn\u2019t it? One of those big bottles each week!) was a top priority. Art bribed me with the promise of GOOD coffee. The hazelnut vanilla<\/a> flavored beans from Costco. I was skeptical at first. But it turns out that I love this coffee. Plus I drink less of it. We will see how long a bag of beans lasts. And it\u2019s only been 2 weeks and I\u2019m already drinking the regular coffee black. I still think I\u2019d order a double-double at Timmy\u2019s tho.<\/p>\n

* My little man loves the bath. Particularly drinking the bath water\u2026 I love his eyelashes, his chubby hands and his little nose buried in the cup. He climbs in the bath every single time someone is using it. He showers with me in the morning and then baths with Noah at night. During the day, he constantly asks to wash his hands (he rubs them together and starts to sing the ABCs \u2013 he makes it to the letter \u201cg\u201d).<\/p>\n

* Our yard was insane. I can\u2019t even believe how many leaves there are.<\/p>\n

* Extreme shopping. Coupon shopping. My first attempt. I was nervous and slightly embarrassed. I did get some good deals but it took a lot of time and effort. You should see my stack of coupons. Some of the coupons didn\u2019t work so I had to walk away without those items. The main point was to get diapers for cheap\/free. And while they were not free, I did get them for very cheap.<\/p>\n

* We live under a sycamore tree. I love this tree. Noah calls the leaves \u201cCanada\u201d which I thought was pretty observant. He is obsessed with anything with the Canada flag.<\/p>\n

* Reading the kids Bible.<\/p>\n

* Noah\u2019s favorite story is\u2026. Take a guess\u2026 Noah\u2019s Ark! It is absolutely hilarious to hear him tell Bible stories: Moses and the staff turned to a snake, Noah\u2019s Ark. I can\u2019t wait until we get to Jonah! God the Father of Abraham, Isaac and\u2026 Austin.<\/p>\n

* There was a photo where they are touching tongues. I couldn\u2019t decide if it was cute or gross. Cute to me. But I\u2019m wearing mommy goggles.<\/p>\n

* Mattias\u2019 outside uniform includes: green rubber boots, navy blue splash \/ snow pants (a size too small) and one of his plethora of sweatshirts. Sometimes he gets to wear his puff vest as well. But he starts crying when he sees it because it bundles him up like a penguin. And poor guy if he falls over. I find it hilarious. In a loving way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
