COLD days

Schools were closed on Monday & Tuesday of this week due to extreme cold temperatures and wind chills.  Since our daycare follows the same schedule as the schools the kids were home!  I stayed home on Monday and my parents came up on Tuesday.  The kids & I had a great time on Monday!  Between eating (feels like they eat all the time with meals and snacks!), playing with their new Christmas toys, watching some videos on the iPad and playing downstairs we had a busy day!  We have to keep a close eye on Jack these days…..he's all over the place.  I was washing a dish and I heard a loud noise - I looked over and Jack had pulled a bottle of wine off the shelf and was sitting in broken glass and red wine.  It was a process to clean up but no one got hurt and Madelyn was a huge helper.  Then later in the day I was helping Madelyn open some play doh containers and I hear the gate upstairs close.  Jack had crawled upstairs, closed the gate and was content playing up there by himself.  Later in the evening Jack was sitting in the living room and pulled the lamp over.  Thankfully it didn't land on him.  He's going to keep us on our toes!

Ryan got stuck in a meeting so he didn't get home until closer to 6:30.  It was around 5:30 and both kids were screaming…..Jack was hungry and tired since he doesn't nap well and Madelyn wanted her daddy.  You know you're a mom when screaming/crying children doesn't even phase you.  It was a fun day but I'm glad this isn't our normal routine as being a full time stay at home mom isn't the job for me!

Madelyn loves making boxes with the magna tiles 

 

Jack kept himself busy crawling around and on things!
