We really hibernate during the winter months and avoid getting out...it has been so cold lately and then we had a period snow and ice that further prompted the hibernation. Also, Connor NEVER wants to get out of his pajamas on the weekend unless there is a REALLY good excuse to.
A couple weekends ago, when we had that brief warm-up, we were able to venture to Mesker Park Zoo for a couple hours. That was interesting since there was still ice on the ground and several animals were still sheltered away for the winter, but the boys still enjoyed it. That same evening the boys had a slumber party at Gma Darla's, although they pooped out on her a couple hours during dinner and went to bed at 9. Mommy and Daddy had a nice evening out...we went to a Couple's game night to play Loaded Questions and Newlywed Game with 6 other couples. Most of the couples did not know each other, so that made it that much more interesting.
This weekend, we decided to have a family night with another couple and their almost 2-year old son. It was nice to visit with them, but unfortunately the boys had been cooped up all day and were starting to show it. They were a little whiny and tired. Lesson for next time...get out of the house even if for a quick errand. Unfortunately, the boys usually tell one of us to run the errands and the other parent can stay home with them.
We are really looking forward to warmer weather and today's sunny weather is a nice preview (except it is 27 degrees)! We are hoping to take a mini-Road Trip in March. We are already planning our family vacation for May, where we are going to spend a few days in Huntsville, AL visiting the sites and with my friends (from when I lived in the area in middle school (Hamilton)). We are then heading south for the Boys' first beach vacation.
Spring can arrive anytime...no complaints here!
