February Vacation Part 2

We ended the vacation with a BANG! Pizza and a movie (for the little people) last Friday night with friends was just what we ALL needed :)

 

 

Silly is good for the soul sometimes....

In other news... this is the scene all day every day at my house... "basketball"... practicing her "serious" face...

she can't hold it long...

I'm so glad! :)

and on the FINAL day of vacation we surprised MIL with a birthday party (and included Caleb as well)... we had it at her house... EVERYONE made it and we played games... her favorite (bah!) Jenga for the big kids, Paw Patrol Trouble for Miss B, Husband, "Bob", TiTi and I and misc. other games going on upstairs....

 

 

I think we all had fun and most importantly I hope MIL did!

other party guests heard there was "cheese"....

mmm.... cheeesseeeeee....

Yippeee CHEESE! :)

AND THEN THIS HAPPENED.

Chloe wanted an energy drink and I said Sky could drive us... I love Minnie's face. :)

Movie time for the backseat....

and shock and awe in the front....

because THIS was JUST yesterday wasn't it??? 

A great "stay-cation" relaxing, enjoying friends and family and each other. 

February Vacation Part 1

So because of all the SNOW SNOW AND MORE SNOW....

 

We decided to make the best of it and paint ourselves a flower garden :)

tough keeping this guy out of it....but pretty much same thing happens with REAL flowers... ;)

it sure was beautiful while it lasted....

and these two had a blast for about 20 minutes so I guess that's what matters :)

On Saturday it was the local Annual Kids Ice Fishing Derby... one of their crew actually won FIRST PLACE over all with this big guy.....

 

Minnie came in 2nd in her age division....

Miss B threw down some snacks...

and did actually win 3rd place in her age division with her ".11 lb" fish :) she could NOT be MORE proud!

a good day on the ice for SURE!

Meanwhile in "the big city"....

 

I was off for a SLEEPOVER with "the redheads" :) We have not hung out together for about...oh.... 3 years... all three of us together... it was LONG overdue and we had the BEST time...

I love my girls and it was such a treat to spend 24 hours with them!!!!

 

On Tuesday, the girls and I brought a meal over to the Trem's...just so we could snuggle the newest family member ;) Baby Maura is just SO sweet and my big girl was even more of a "baby hog" than her FATHER usually is... :)

On Wednesday we took advantage of the nice weather and an early morning doc appointment for Husband and spent the day out and about... we introduced the girls to Reilly's... um... is it bad they had never even HEARD of it before? :)

and it was buy one get one cream horn day...

Thursday we enjoyed the AH-MAY-ZING 60 degree weather and the big giant hill.... we did not have access to the "ride up the hill" this time so a few times up and down was definitely enough for little legs....

Fun with friends!

short-sleeves in February....

Excited for more adventures to come....

 

 

Snow Snow More Snow

Did I mention the CountryRents are not home for this? Thank goodness for neighbors with big giant equipment that showed up before we did....

I'm done. I'm ready for a view like this....
