January Catchup!

January has come and gone. I would love to stay on track with this blog, but such is life. This blog post alone probably took me ten nights to finish;)

No, really. It did.

Ok now it's taken me a month, but I will date everything accordingly.

Lots of lunch dates with friends and playdates at the park to keep busy.

 I lost track what number this particular winter storm was. Maybe 15? ;) However, with those temps, we stayed inside and played Chess, drank hot cocoa, and watched lots of movies. That bottom right picture is of Sam's window...on the second floor. 

 Since Madeline is home with me every day and not in preschool like most 3 year olds, I try to work with her daily doing crafts, letters, numbers, stories, ect. The lightbulb has recently gone off for her and she has a real love for learning. She actually will complain when we don't do schoolwork. While we keep busy, Sam does as well. Eating playdoh. (note his teal teeth.)

Slo-Mo video of the girls at a bounce house birthday party for our sweet friend Claire!

Her party was so much fun! And I think I ate three cupcakes. 

Even moms have fun sledding! Love that Madeline took this video and her cute chubby fingers block it. Ha!

Tom plays in an ice hockey league here and we were invited to watch one of his games. Brings back awesome memories of watching him play in HS and college. 

My sweaty stud muffin hubby:)

Our friend Renee threw an amazing surprise party for her hubby Dylan's 30th birthday. It was a beer tasting theme and we enjoyed every bit of it. 

Love their silly love for each other.

 Whatever keeps him busy and smiling.

And one last video. Because his giggle makes my heart melt.

Learning how to give a high five!

And that pretty much sums up the last week in January for us:)
