Let's wrap up January

We made it to the movies to see "Sing" with our friends. The adults enjoyed it more then the kids

Then it was mommy's turn to go out. Hit up Mamma Mia with friends! so nice for a kid free yummy meal.  But it was a late night.. i was so tried when i got home

Playing games.. i love not having a tv in the lviing room again because no one thinks about watching tv,, instead we play games and make our own entertainement

Did up Bella's hair for her poms pictures

Still got our cows

After being stuck in the house due to ice i finally got pictures up. Made it finally feel like home. I also cleaned which is something that i seem to be lacking at. So i grabbed some pictures

Pep rally at school..so we all wore our SJB stuff. 

Dress up fr all school mass. I was after this that my poor little girl was miserable. Monday morning she threw up ont he way to school. Then felt find the rest of the day. Tuesday made it to school for an hour before she got sent home for a fever. The fever only climbed until Wed when i took her in to find out she had influenza. Poor girl missed all of catholic schools week. It made for a struggle to keep Max away and the rest of us healthy. 

Iced in

So the ice arrived and didn't want to leave. We ended up with two days off then went to school for two days and had another day off. 

I spent a lot of time getting work done. 

We played with just about everything in the house.. so much time trapped inside so we got out the wii

Ice anyone?

My kids playing so well together

I got some pictures up on the wall

a little boy time, a little girl time

So Mr. Max wasn't feeling the greatest. Nothing major but since i had the day off of work, i decided to keep him home with me.. he had to run some errands with me but we still had a lot of Max type fun. We played games, watched movies and played with many toys!  I do miss being at stay at home mom with him. 

 Fast foward to Saturday when we watched the Girl's basketball team play at school. Bella's poms team was peforming at halftime.  it was great to see girls play a great game.  Grandma also came to the game so we spend some fun time in the afternoon with her. I totally forgot a picture but i thnk she has one. This camera girl is slacking on photos. :(

We rounded out the weekend with some packer game entertainement. 

Go Packers!

So Sunday we had the day to be home.. probably one of the first ones we have had in the house without something else going on. We hit up church then the grocery store.  Shopping for food is something i hadn' really been doing. so it was a long trip. 

we got popcorn for our air popper.. the one Josh said i could get at least 5 years ago, and then we never used. He wasn't a fan of popcorn and i never took the time to set it up. That was so silly. 

The weather was so nice, so the kids broke out the sleds. they have found so many hills to sled down these days.

Time for the packer game! 

we went out to culvers to celebrate the win!

Then this little passed out with daddy. This pillow has saved me. it's also fun to use to include josh. 

Christmas in Sheboygan

So with how the holidays landed, we ened up doing christmas up in sheboygan the weekend after the crazy times. We lucked out at got nice sunny, but cold weather. I was surprised we got up there with only one stop for Chocolate milk.

The kids had fun playing with one another and with the toys at "grandma's house" Our visit was too short as normal, but we packed a lot of fun. laughter and memories in those couple hours. Can't wait for nicer weather adn we can see more people :)
