Well early January brought Maxwell's third Birthday, which was so much fun!
Then, a week later, came the winter sickness.. Luckily both boys fell ill with the cold the same week so we all hunkered down and stayed INSIDE for 8 days!! LONG DAYS!!!
Oh that was so hard.. and of course we had bitter bitter weather here so we couldn't even brave it so a car ride! It was rough.. but we made it through with no trips to the Dr. and no anti-biotics, just two icky noses and terrible coughs!
We recovered, and now are bursting with energy, well they are at least! So we are visiting with friends again, and we joined a new playgroup and Maxwell is back to school(PDO) two days a week! Maxwell loves his school, and when Liam and I drop him off, Liam loves it so and begs to stay! I carry him out kicking and screaming (truly a lovely sight). This week Maxwell has his Valentines' Day party, and we are getting all his little cards ready to share!
We will also be making homemade chocolate cupcakes and decorating them this week before Thursday..
I have been trying my hand at making Felt cupcakes ( maybe I will post one someday at the other - well, art site), to give as little Valentines' , and so Maxwell has been talking about real ones too!
This weekend was fun around here! Daddy was out of town for three days last week, and he got home late Friday night, so the boys did not let him out of their sight all weekend! We braved the masses and went to see "Sesame Street Live" on Saturday night.. What a fun experience.. they rally were too young to quite understand the whole thing.. and the attention spans were not too long, but the cotton candy was the reward ( for all of us) and we headed home at intermission.. but it was fun to watch their faces looking at all the singing and dancing....
Sunday brought a day of play and fun around the house and then it was off to "DeeDee-Bob's" (one word) to have a Super Bowl party... the kids love going to their house and have been asking for days to go, so it was fun to hangout with friends, eat, and surprisingly catch a good football game! Go Giants!!
Well, one of these nights I will have time to throw on some new photos of the monkeys and wil get to updating this more, until then.. Arnold's Out!
