Snow!

I took Claire to preschool today and it was pouring down rain. When we got home both Adam and I took a nap. The nap was wonderful because I got rid of my headache, but I woke up to this! So in about 2 hours it snowed about 2 inches. Wow! I slipped and slided all the way to her preschool, but at least we got there and back safely. It's still snowing, but at least the roads are now clear. I didn't expect this to happen today.

Swim Lessons

We enrolled the kids in swim lessons again. This was Adam's first time going in without Nick. He did great. It did help that both Claire and Adam are in the same class. It's fun watching the differences between the two of them. Claire pays attention and does what is asked right away. Adam on the other hand is our little charming turd. He's the youngest in the class, but thankfully he is comfortable with the water and didn't have any problems with being scared. While Claire is paying attention and blowing bubbles and everything, Adam is undoing the rope and trying to sneak out into deeper water. Needless to say he was caught right away and he promptly gave the teacher a hug and a big smile. Oh my! Adam also loved to splash the other kids and they kept getting mad at him. He would just laugh. We had to have a little chat with him after the class. I meant to take pictures but I got so busy watching that I forgot about it. Hopefully I'll remember next week so you can all see how they are doing!

Yawn, Rub Eyes...

Nick and I had one of those nights. Yawn! Adam woke up around 1:00, cried out, and promptly started throwing up. Blah. We have no idea what set him off, but for the rest of the night he threw up every so often. I must say, he's SO much better than Claire is about throwing up. Hey, you have to find some sort of silver lining! He actually says he needs to go to the bathroom and then he and Nick or I run with him and he does his thing where he should. He would get it off his tummy and then was in a really good mood and extremely chatty. He finally got back to bed around 5:30. Ugh!

We were planning on getting up early this morning and going to a lumber store that is going out of business. Oh well, guess we'll get there after Claire's preschool today. It's really depressing seeing all these places going out of business. This particular lumber spot was always great. We could always count of this place to have what we needed. So now we hope to find some solid core doors, paint, tools, lumber, or whatever else strikes our fancy.

All Done!

I would love to tell everyone of all the wonderful and exciting news, but we don't have any. Tis the season for getting sick. A really nasty cold has been traveling through our family. Luckily the kids are all over it and I'm almost done with it as well. The one who it hit hardest was Nick. Since we haven't felt the best we have been eating gourmet delights such as tv dinners, frozen pizzas, pancakes, etc. Ohh, yum! Ha! Plus the kids have been watching lots of their shows while Nick and I try to take a nap.

On to our better news though...we finished our taxes!! Woot! Got that done with and we'll be getting our rebate which I'll be putting toward my bathroom. Another piece of good news is that the roof people finally came back and finished their job. It only took them 3 months for a simple job. Scary!
