Christmas at the Waterpark!!

Not much to say, the kids had a blast-here are the pics!! Grant and Lucie used goggles for the first time. In the picture of Grant underwater I was holding my camera waiting for him to put his head up so I could take a pic of him half up and half down. I waited and waited but he didn't come up-I thought he was just holding his breath really long, turns out he lost his footage and wasn't coming up. Way to go A+ mom and lifeguard of 15 years!!

A First!!

I watched Lucie's little friend from school today(Jayden), we went to Fleet Farm and the kids wanted to put on the cheeseheads and once they did they were so cute I had to take a picture!!

Christmas!!

These pictures are scattered all over the place but they are all of Christmas.

The kids had a lot of fun at Christmas this year, I thought Grant got the best present which was a gameboy advance, but by far I think Lucie loves her presents the most. She got a pink radio(which she opened and got all excited and said "yeah a new pink radio for the kitchen") purple pom poms, a purple shiney "hannah montana" dress my mom made, and a microphone.





This year my whole family is going to a waterpark hotel for Christmas, so we didn't really have a BIG Christmas at my mom's yesterday. My grandma is in a rehab center right now and they gave her a day pass so she could come home for Christmas so we just went up there for a little bit.

Still in shock over rudeness of a stranger!!

A couple of hours ago I went to the Dollar Store to pick up a few things. I was in the check-out and this is what happened....
Lady-(talking to Lucie)-You're mommy made you look stupid today!
Lucie and I-just stared
Lady-(talking to me)-Well you did
I was in shock that she just told a three year old her hair was stupid!!! I was in shock and didn't answer her so again she repeated...
Lady-(to me)You know it does!!!!
Me-(still in shock)-it matches her crazy personality.
Then she said something else but it was lost to me and I know it wasn't an apology for insulting my daughter!!! Her hair was crazy it had three ponies in the front and one in the back but that is NOT the point, and it is cute-very Lucie!!

HOW RUDE IS SHE???? She doesn't know me or Lucie and she just insulted a little three year old and didn't think twice. She was ridiculous!! I am done shopping for a LONG time!!!

The Dreaded!!

Anyone who has ever lived by snow has experienced this...You shovel or plow your driveway and then you hear it. Coming from a distance-the crash and crunch sound of snow being pushed, and it becomes louder and louder, until you see it. You can't stop it, you just have to watch and wait. It is the dreaded city plow, without fail as soon as you are done clearing your driveway the plow comes and throws more snow in your driveway. This morning after the plow came Josh plowed a path and we took a picture of Lucie standing in the middle-keep in mind this is all from the last 8 hours!!

More What????

I have lived in Wisconsin all my life, but a year here and there. I don't think I have ever said this phrase so early on but "I am so sick of Winter". It seems like if we aren't getting a foot of snow a day it is below zero with the wind chill. Granted my kids love the snow and it is fun to make snowmen and snowballs and sled, but this is overkill. I am very grateful that we have a warm house, a snowblower, and a loving husband who blows everytime it snows. By Monday we could have 2 plus feet of snow and the poor kids will be going to school until August with all the snow days we have had. I guess that is what you get for living in Wisconsin-at least we expect it unlike Malibu that just got snow and they NEVER get snow.
I love it when Christmas is white!!!

The picture of Josh and Grant snowblowing, if you look at their legs and the depth of snow, we got all that snow in the last 7 hours and still more to come!

Santa!!

Last night we had an open house at my daycare and Santa came to visit. The kids were okay with Santa, they did dissappear for a short while and I found them hiding under the cookie table eating!! I also got a video of their little song they sang. That will be coming a little later!
