Adele

Tomorrow night I get to go with my friend Jayme to the Adele concert! I'm so excited! It's been about 2 years since I have been to a concert. If you haven't heard of her you should check her out! (Robert surprised me with the tickets....he such a good husband!)

Repeating myself!

So I just realised that I had already put up the snow pictures on here! Oh well you guys get a second look at them!

Christmas and Snow

So I haven't blogged in a while AGAIN! I know I'm horrible about keeping this thing updated. Anyway I just wanted to put up a few pictures from Christmas and the Snow Days.a>div>

I know they are all mixed up together, I just wanted to get a quick post put up... with a few pictures! We had such a great Christmas. We spent most of Christmas Eve with Roberts Parents and sister running to the Mall and Toys R Us to get last minute Christmas stuff done, and then had dinner with them at the Cheesecake Factory. That night they dropped us off at my brothers house so we could spend the night and wake up Christmas Eve all together. (my parents slept there too!) It was so much fun being together Christmas morning! We spent all of Christmas day at their house eating, playing games and talking. It was a great Christmas!

1st Snow Day!

It was so exciting to wake up to snow on Sunday morning! Our little man was so excited when he looked out our back door. He stood there for the longest time! So I got him and I bundled up and we headed outside. Daddy Robert was already outside helping the guys he works with shovel snow from the walkways. We walked outside and he was super excited until we walked out onto the snow. He didn't like walking in it.... and he wouldn't if I let go of his hand. He had fun though.

Monday was his first official snow day from school! Most kids are super excited when they find out it's a snow day.... my little guy could care less but Robert (daddy) was excited.

Yesterday was crazy! It snowed all day and didn't let up until dark. I can't believe we have gotten this much snow. Normally I'm so excited about the snow, but there has been a lot of ice. And there is still so much to do before Christmas and our car isn't good for driving in this stuff. Oh well.... what can you do.

I hope everyone that has been in all this snow is staying warm!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween!

For the past 4 Halloweens we have tried to come up with unique family costume ideas.
1st Halloween....robert was only a little over a month old.... we were farmers and he was a pea pod... this was so last minute!
2nd Halloween Little Robert was King Kong and we were buildings (we each wore a building costume so that we could rotate carrying him... but we soon took one off because people thought we were the twin towers!) We could not find a gorilla costume that didn't cost $80 so we got a monkey one.... although he looked more like a bear with a tail!
3rd Halloween Little Robert was a bag of Money and we were Robers! This one was pretty fun and super easy!
Crap! I just realized that I don't have any of the pictures from this.... I think my mom has them from her camera.... oh well you'll just have to picture it. Robert and I dressed all in black with black beenies on our heads.... and Robert dressed as a money bag made from a pillow case! Just trust me it was cute!

4th Halloween.... Robert was a wedge of cheese and we were bread. A grilled cheese sandwich!
This was not the easiest costume for trick or treating in.... but it was still fun. This was his first year really walking from door to door. At first he didn't totally understand what we were doing... but he just went with the flow. He lasted about 2 blocks and then he didn't want to do it any more. His cousin Nikki decided that she wanted to take his bucket up with her to get candy for him. Everyone believed her and there were no questions asked(even though the couldn't see him sitting in the stroller.)

Now to start thinking of next years costume!
