bye bye Nuk!

FINALLY, I got the courage to get rid of the nuk. It was just random and decided that it was going to be that day! He did pretty good. I let him pick out something at toys r us and then I picked out something for the Nuk fairy to bring him that night. So I wouldn't cave, I cut the nuk. He was good about going to bed that night because he had not had a nap! In the middle of the night, he woke up several times asking for it and I showed him the broken nuk! Today nap went o.k. and anxious to see how the night went. Here are some pic's of him opening his present from the nuk fairy!

burr it is cold outside

Well this has been a cold winter. Although this week hasn't been as bad! Last week was horrible and we spent most of the days indoors. I got an idea from another friend to save some of their xmas gifts and bring them out on a winter day. So that is what we did. We had moon dough to play with, new puzzles and new games to play with. It was like Christmas all over again! The kids loved it! Last Friday night was really bad, as we usually go to gym night, but we decided to stay in. Mike put the kids tent together and the kids got their sleeping bags and watched a movie and ate popcorn. They thought this was pretty cool as well!

NYE

Wow, it has been a long time! Well let me first catch you up on NYE's! This year we decided to book a room at hotel and let the kids swim. My sister also got a room with her family. My cousins from NE and Waseca were also able to come and it was fun hanging out with them. The kids all had a good time hanging out together! They swam, swam and swam! They were exhausted! We are hoping to make this a tradition every year. The kids are still talking about staying in the hotel and going swimming!
