We had a little party for Dylan at home on his birthday. He was thrilled with his gifts, and Thade was happy to have a few new toys to share with Dylan too.
Dylan wasted no time tearing into the wrapping paper.
We had a party planned for the weekend, but the snow canceled that event. We’ll have to reschedule it soon, and celebrate with the whole family.
What can I say about this post. The boys are beyond thrilled, my husband is beaming, and I’m a little nervous/worried/happy/excited/freaked out, and so on. It looks like there is going to be another addition to our family, and I’m kinda hoping that I get to paint James office pink!
When Saturday finally arrived, Thade had the whole day planned out. He was going to watch a Spongebob marathon, and then he would finally get to watch the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards. He couldn’t wait!!! He had voted online for his favorites, and he couldn’t wait to see the show. As the day went on, the bad weather moved in and we lost our satellite connection. Thade was devastated, me too, I really wanted to see the Jonas Brothers…
James found the interview cam online, so the kiddos could watch the Orange Carpet coverage. As it was drawing closer to the start of the show, James bundled up and headed out into the snow storm, and fixed the satellite. Thade was thrilled, and kept saying “my Dad is the man, he saved the day!”
Thanks to my hubby for making his kiddos day, and now I’ve totally got that Jonas Brothers song stuck in my head.
Wow, I can’t believe that we are almost through the month of March, and we are also reaching the end of our challenge. We made it through week #4, and this week went a little smoother than week #3. James is really proud of us, and he is determined for us to make it through the next few days, but we are definitely celebrating on the first day of April!
Week 4 brought many tasty meals, and I restocked the freezer with a few staples for future meals. I made a Turkey on Sunday night, and that made for really simple lunches and dinners during the week. I also made 6 quarts of Turkey Stock that I will use for Turkey & Noodles, or Chicken Chow Mien in April. I also made homemade Broccoli & Potato Soup for fast lunches for me. I treated the kiddos to Kid Cuisine before their Doctor’s appointment on Friday, and Thade was thrilled.
To keep James co-worker’s from bringing in Donuts on Friday, I baked a double batch of Banana Muffins, and they were a big hit. I don’t think anyone missed take-out donuts on that day.
I’m really proud that we are almost finished with the month, and so far my family is still speaking to me. Dylan even gave me a great big hug, thanking me for his favorite meal on his birthday, or maybe it was thanking me for the batch of birthday brownies.
The snow has arrived… So far it has been snowing for about an hour, and there is a lot more in the forecast. I hope that everyone is staying nice and toasty today. Be careful out there.
