Last weekend, we got 8 inches of snow!  Luckily it was a Saturday, but have no fear, it was still a disaster zone around here.

Matt safely made it home in his new ride ........ a Jeep Wranger and the fellas and I met him outside to help shovel.  The snow was fairly light and the fellas had some fun sledding at the end.  When we headed inside, I offered warm chocolate milk and was denied!  These kids!!

The rest of the weekend, we hung out inside and enjoyed the warmth.  The fellas were creative with tinker toys and lots of train fun!  The countdown for vacation is less than 30 days and shopping for all of the "essentials" is underway!  I can't wait to get away!

4.09 Valentines and a dusting of snow

The lovely three day weekend, which became four days after a measly 3 inches of snow last night, was filled with lots of inside fun, pediatrician visits (yes, plural) and Valentine's Day!

Late last week, we noticed a slight rash on Zach's belly.  He had been acting fine but we wanted to have him checked out so we went there first thing on Saturday.  Zach was positive for strep, so we got him meds and headed home.

We remained on quarantine for the remainder of the weekend.  The fellas have done fairly well in their new beds and seem quite comfortable each morning when we go to wake them up.  After the doctor appointment we kept watching Tyler for the rash and Tyler kept having meltdowns each time Z had his meds.

So off we went, Monday morning during walk-in hours, back to the pediatrician to check out Tyler. He had some slight belly discoloration, though I doubted he would be positive for strep. He in fact did not have it, but at least now I would have the "official" doctor's response of, "You are fine and no meds for you."

On Monday evening we started to get snow.  Of course, all of the public schools closed and so did our daycare.  Ugh, thankfully, Matt was off work so he watched them while I headed to work.  They had a little fun in the snow and sadly I missed it.  Hopefully next time!

It is official.  At 3y10mo, we sadly said goodbye to sleepsacks and opened up the fronts of their cribs.  And now ...... at 4y2mo, their cribs have been converted into big boy beds!

First night was successful, hopefully the rest are!

Can you tell who is who?? :)

4.07 Winter Weekends

I've been nursing a cold for almost a week now, so this past weekend was fairly low key.  I didn't have the energy for too much and the fellas were playing quite well around the house.  Almost too nice when they entered my personal space and I asked them for a massage and got one kid holding my foot and the other kid measuring it!  And then they infiltrated Matt's personal space with their lizards as a daddy play mat!

In other news, the fellas' passports arrived so it's official: Jamaica, here we come in 44 days!!!  I'll keep this short this week, so here are a few more pictures of some random fun around the house!
