Made it!

Phew! School starting late turned into a snow day! Eek! Luckily the gym was open and I have 4 wheel drive (yes, on my Buick) and the boys were able to play while I had some mommy time. I got on that treadmill and ran like Forrest Gump. I just kept running. Felt good and rejuvenated me mentally and physically.

The housekeeper was here today so Chuck and I went grocery shopping while Smith napped.

The three of us then invited ourselves over to my friends house. She is the one married to the cardio thoracic surgeon and has a little boy a month older than Chuck. They live the same life as us. Their daddy is never home for dinner and is not there on the weekends. So whenever we have odd play times we know they are available to play. (Like playing at 8am on a Sunday morning.... Totally normal for us.)

Smith is at the point that he really recognizes things. He is currently obsessed with Mickey Mouse. The boys got a singing Mickey for Christmas and Smith has played with it so much that it doesn't dance anymore, just sings. Anyway, we walked into my friends house and the first thing Smith sees is the fountains in the pool. He pointed and did this huge surprise sound. His mouth and eyes were wide open. It was hysterical but probably exactly what I looked like when I first saw their house!

Can you believe I took no pictures today....

Snow Day

We were trapped inside today. Chuck ventured outside at least 6 times today to explore. Dr. got to play for a few minutes. No snowballs or snowmen because everything was just big sheets of ice. Smith watched them play outside.










Smith would have played outside too but his legs didn't quite fit in his boots.




I really didn't expect an ice storm. I thought it would be cold and rainy. I was not prepared for a three day weekend (food or activities!).

Smith has been crabby lately (teeth?.... Since we should have 10 more than we do). We did every activity imaginable today just to keep Smith happy.

We played with our Easter eggs.




Made a squishy bag with water, cornstarch, and little things to squish around.




Played with Easter grass and painting sponges.




Practiced sliding on our tummies around the house.




Tried on superhero masks.




We even drove around the neighborhood. I told them we were looking for snowmen. In reality I was just trying to buy 10 minutes of no whining. Chuck fell for it..... Smith did not.













Tomorrow school starts two hours late.

Winter Storm

It sprinkled all morning and kept us inside.



By lunch it was still sprinkling so I took the boys to the mall to ride the quarter rides, get a cookie, and pick up free balloons from Old Navy.












We came home and within 30 minutes it started pouring down ice! We are now pretty much iced in. Luckily our balloons kept us busy and we had a few car races.















Chuck's school starts two hours late tomorrow. I doubt we will be able to get out of the driveway. It's not supposed to get above freezing until around noon and there is a good 1/2 inch if slouch on the driveway that will freeze nicely.

Mother Nature be crazy

First off, Mother Nature is definitely doing drugs. However, I would like to thank her for making it unbearably cold during the week and giving us weekends with 70 degree weather.

Today was in the high 70s. Tomorrow it will start raining early morning and the temperature will slowly drop to the 50s.

So after the race this morning we let (grumpy) Big Shorty nap and then headed out to look for party favors for Chuck's bug themed birthday. Then we headed to the playground/park and did what boys do best...get dirty! Chuck and Smith both enjoyed playing in a ditch. Chuck loves sticks and Smith loves rocks.










Then we headed home and played in the backyard and even enjoyed a nice dinner outside! Chuck enjoyed practicing to be a ninja with a new stick he found and Smith enjoyed his new water table and the new found enjoyment of flipping it over.










Mmmmmmm

Running

Our specialty grocery store "Fresh" had their first annual runs this morning. The 5k went in front of our house. We set up our bubble machine and all the runners were clapping and saying thank you. There must have been 2,000 or more runners. After the 5k went by, we walked down and saw the 15k runners go by. I don't think Chuck was impressed by the 15k runners.

Shoes

The Weber boys are growing! The boys both got new shoes. Smith was so excited he brings his shoes to me until I put them on him. He got two new pairs and for some reason he is insisting I put on one if each so the majority of the time he does not match. On this day he actually let me put on matching shoes. He's so proud.




Baby boy still is growing his curls and yes, those eyes are still baby blue.



Chuck had his 3 hour interview at All Saints this week. He was so grown up and excited. We are suppossed to find out March 31st who gets in but, tucked inside his book bag I found a note that said "welcome to the family". So proud of him. We got our official enrollment packet today in the mail.




This weekend our grocery store "Fresh" is having a 1k, 5k, and 15k run. It goes right in front of our house so that is what we will be watching tomorrow morning. Saturday is supposed to be nice but Sunday we are going to get a storm and a cold front. I'm ready for Spring!

And if you wondered: yes, grumpy baby lives on.....

Funday Sunday

Another beautiful day outside! We had a friend over this morning and played outside for awhile. Even had a little snack/picnic.




Since it will be getting chilly in the next couple of days, we headed the the playground this afternoon. After this weekend we need to soak in a bath to get all the dirt and sweat off of us.
