Week 13

Once again, I'm messing with dates.  Two dates have repeats and two dates are missing.  Sorry.  :)

March 22: We went out on a kidless date so I got gussied up.  I wanted to get one more wear out of the dress I bought for the Christmas party.  37 weeks.

March 24: Brian and Ev went skiing at Spirit, so C and I went shopping.  Then we all had dinner at Texas Roadhouse

March 25: These Angry Birds games were on clearance at Target, so I bought two (I love hoarding gifts for friends' birthdays) and we've been playing ours every day (meaning it's all over my living room every day).

March 25, take 2: Resting time.  :)

March 26: Getting there.  37 weeks and 4 days by my dates, 38 weeks and 1 day by LMP

March 28: My big boy with his beautiful eyes.  Watching tv, of course.

March 28, take 2: My very fist baby.  :)

Week 12

Fail week again, but oh well.  You get what randomness I took with my iphone this week.

March 15: It was the spring carnival at Mt Ashwabay.  The boys skiied, tubed, hunted for easter eggs, and mama sat in the lodge.

March 16: I went grocery shopping alone!  This means I also stopped for a decaf vanilla latte at the slowww coffee shop.

March 17: The morning consisted of a stuffed owl flying through my kitchen, knocking a glass off the counter, it breaking, me cleaning it up, getting breakfast on the table, and halfway through breakfast, realizing the three year old has blood alllll over because he cut his big toe on an errant piece of glass.

March 18: and it snowed again.  7.7".  At least this kid loves shoveling.

March 19: Daddy forgot his work badge.

March 20: E was at school, C and I were chilling on the couch, but not in different spots....in the same spot.

And I stole Friday's picture from the Duluth News Tribune because I didn't take a single picture.  http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/content/seasonal-snowfall-duluth-nearing-100-inches-again

March 21: I drove through some of the worst road conditions EVER to get to Duluth to look at houses.

Week 11

March 8: We took the boys to the trail in town to do some xc skiing

March 9: Finally finished this blanket.  The knitting wasn't bad, the sewing a backing onto it was...

March 10: This view just touches my heart.  Little barefoot boys in blue jeans.

March 11: More sleep troubles.  Daddy was out of town, so he came in for snuggles early that morning.  I had to wake him up because of course, it was a school day.

March 12: Everett told me, "Callum wants to hold my hand" while they were watching tv.

March 13: Finished up a sweater for 3.0

March 13 (part 2): 35 weeks, 5 days

March 14: Watching a potty training video

Week 10

March 1: We had Callum's 3rd birthday party.  I stink with the camera at parties, so no good shots of the birthday boy.  Here's some food though.

March 2: Daddy took the boys out in the freezing cold to the park while mama took a bath

March 3: The sleeping troubles continue.  We moved his mattress into the playroom and I went upstairs to go to bed and found the door wide open, light on, and him like this.

March 4: It FINALLY started warming up!!!!

March 5: 34 weeks and 4 days.  And a five year old.  Doing some sort of force punch thing?

March 6: Callum and I went to Duluth to look at houses with daddy but we had to spend a little time in his office waiting for him to be ready.

March 7: We cleaned alllll day and got the house looking much better.  Then we laid down and watched a movie and knit.

Also, yesterday was 35 weeks.  35 days to go.  Gulp.

Week 9

My first big fail week.  Oops.  My excuses are: it was cold, I was sick most of the week, party planning, and Callum having some major sleep issues.  I have a couple from Sunday and Tuesday and none from Saturday, Monday, or Wednesday.  And only one DSLR.  I shall do better this week!  Without further ado, a week of Callum.

Feb 23: "Look mommy!  A howt!"

Feb 23: Waking up from naps can be really hard.

Feb 25: Since I was still reeling from a tummy bug on Callum's third birthday, I felt bad and at least took the boys to McDonald's playland for an after school treat.

Feb 25 again: My birthday boy!!!!  Callum had his 3rd birthday and I managed to snag this shot of him in the midst of total silliness.

Feb 27: Callum started waking in the middle of the night and crying endlessly and for no apparent reason this week.  He also decided naps were for chumps.  This day, I gave up on nap and plopped him in bed with me and let him play iPad games while I laid on my heating pad.

Feb 28: After not sleeping adequately for two days in a row and skipping a nap, I told the boys to lie on the floor while they iPadded and I hear Everett whisper "Callum's asleep!"  Sure enough.
