LOOK! A Post!!

I have been such a slacker with this blog. I really don't know why - I just haven't felt like writing that much lately. I have been maintaining my other blog but that one is so easy to update! I just write about all the money I save!

We've been pretty busy around here lately! Last week Mike was in Omaha, NE so it was just my & the boys for 5 days. That was quite a bit of work and by the time Friday rolled around I was SO happy to see my hubby again :)

Tomorrow I am going to Minneapolis with my Mom and my Aunt Raylene. I am SO excited!! We're going to visit my brother and hopefully get some shopping in :) It's been over a year since I've been to IKEA and Trader Joe's!

Logan is still busy with Kindermusik and tennis. Saturday is his last tennis lesson and Kindermusik ends the following week :( We are thinking of enrolling him in tennis this summer since he has such a fun time. Speaking of this summer, there is going to be a lot of running around! We haven't decided for sure yet but Logan might be in soccer, tennis, baseball and swimming lessons. Of course, they won't take place all at the same time - we'll spread them out over the next 3 months.

I'm trying to find the motivation for a garage sale next weekend. I participated in a consignment sale a couple of weeks ago and sold some of the boys' clothing. Our town is going to have a community wide garage sale so it would be a great weekend to have one. I just have to tackle the garage next week so that it's easy to see what is for sale and what isn't.

Noah is getting so big! He's sitting up on his own for really long periods of time and he's just overall such a happy little guy. He absolutely adores Logan and loves it when Logan is patient enough to play with him. He's pretty much outgrown his infant carseat and his swing so we'll be packing those away one of these days. I've been digging out some of Logan's old toys for him to play with and I think Logan has as much, if not more, fun than Noah does playing with them :)

My Bugaboo is 8 Months Old!!

As most of you have heard by now I'm sure we got another 16+ inches of snow dumped on us from Sunday night through Monday. The bookstore wasn't even open yesterday and Mike's office closed early. I am so tired of winter! If we get another 1 1/2" of snow this will set the all-time snow record for our region of ND. We better get that 1 1/2" - if we don't I'll be pissed! It's supposed to get warmer again towards the end of the week which means the snow will start melting again which means flooding will likely be happening again too :( Last year by this time we were able to go outside without dressing in layers - the golf courses were even open by now.

So to help with my depression about the everlasting winter today me & the boys went to Staples to buy some paper. I heard about an awesome deal on someone's blog and wanted to cash-in on the deal. You can visit my other site to see how much I bought.

I'm doing a Charity Challenge on my other blog soon! I hope you'll participate!

Flooding

Here are some pictures from our town. These were taken today:

"No Wake Zone" - this house is two streets away from

my Mom & Dad's house.

My Mom & Dad's mailbox is on the right.

That is frozen water from the backed-up drains.

This is drainage area was completely dried up this fall. Now, it's almost spilling over. This is about 3 blocks north of my Mom & Dad's.

Our neighbor's house (right across the street). They decided to put sandbags around their house.

I have a real post coming soon I promise. I seriously do not know where the time goes lately!!

Who is Who?

Logan or Noah?

Take your best guess!

I Want Mommy Back!

Do you remember the first time your child addressed you as 'Mom'? I do - it happened 2 weeks ago :( When Logan first called me Mom I didn't really think too much of it. But then he kept repeating his mistake. The Mommy name is being said fewer and farther apart. I do not like it one bit! Now it seems like the only time he addresses me as Mommy is when he's hurt or really tired. Otherwise it's Mom - usually pronounced Moooooooooooooaaaaaaaammmmm!!!!
