Short Sick Month

We are looking forward to this month being over.

First it was SNOW,

SNOW

and more SNOW....then we ALL got sick. Ugh!

But it hasn't all been bad. We have enjoyed some yummy Swedish treats in the form of Odd's homemade selmor.

We had a great Dress-Up Tea Party Birthday for our Ms. S! So many dresses, so little time!

The mermaid cake by request!

Plus there is ALWAYS hockey.....

I love chesse crackers!

Today was the PTO event at Fudruckers. It was packed of course. We waited and waited with a full house of Elementary School folk. Everyone on the under ten-set was begging for quarters to go to the arcade. E' discovered PacMan to my surprising pleasure, for nostalgias sake I had to let him play.

It was a mad house and it was totally fun. I love the randomness of little kids. Talking with one of my best mommy-friends. and suddenly a little pip-squeak says in a strong voice

"I love cheese crackers."

Sure...why not.

Sick Boy and Two Teeth

I got home for my crazy Bunco girls night (I'm one wild and crazy Momma?!) and I hear the always dreaded late-night moan from my little boys room. Oh no!

He was sick. Very sick...change the sheets and take this bucket back to bed sick. Poor guy.

Poof.... there goes the weekend!

Now in our umtheth hour of ToonDisney. We have another surprise.

Toothless wonder! S has lost her 6th tooth. Her second in the last 2 days. This is revenge of the tooth fairy. S is thrilled, of course!

mARbleS

S- like to build. Her current favorite material is marbles. Lots of marbles. She spent hours over the last few mornings building pyramids. It weirds me out a little bit but I also have to admit that I am a little proud of her dedication and patience. She has more steady patience then any little person. Maybe it is all the years of living with her overwhelmingly impatience big brother. I need to learn some of this simple skill for my little girl. Patience is a virtue, right?

Baby, Baby, Baby boy

I have a adorable new nephew. Paxton. Welcome baby!

Baby is on it's way!!!

My little sister has had the longest pregnancy EVER!!!! (according to her)

She was ready to have the whole bloating, sick, uncomfortable-ness part of the pregnancy over about 8 months ago. While I never felt her pain, I feel for her. She is my only sister after all!

We are all waiting ever so anxiously for baby boy to join our family party today so we can finally meet him and my dear sister can have a brake. And then of course she is expected to go back to being a full-time mom, organizing, school teaching fool, wonderful wife, daughter and sister that she is!

L maybe you should stay in the hospital for the WHOLE 48 hours! ;-)

Come on baby! Get on out and join the party!

Our new ice skating pond in the 'hood

Skating today on our little holding pond. Very cold outside but the weather was great for an out door skating party. I even got to make like a swede and bring out the cold weather picnic. It was great the house was only a block away. The hot chocolate and grill cheese was still warm. Now I need to get some skates to join the party too!
