I have absolutely no idea where the time goes. Ok, I really do. After working all day, I've been a little computer averse at night so light on blog posting lately. Lots of fun stuff coming up so I'd better step it up!!
The last weekend in January, we had a normal family weekend. Saturday morning we did swim lessons with the boys and then went to church on Sunday morning. Tim also painted Cole's room (big reveal after we can put his decal on the wall) so we took turns sleeping with him in the play room. Other than that, I'm sure there was a grocery store and BJ's trip in there.

He just loves the water.
Big kicks!
Eli has been doing great in his swim classes. Even doing a little without the turtle pack.
The boys were extremely excited last week to know that Grandma was coming to see them Friday afternoon. They literally asked every single day if it was Friday yet. Tim & I took Friday off work to prepare for our big weekend project - closet makeover. We spent Friday taking everything out, sorting keep / donate / throw, painting and picking up our new closet system. Grandma got here just in time Friday afternoon to go to school with me and pick up the boys. THAT made them very happy. Friday night we did dinner at home and worked on the closet some.
Saturday morning, Grandma & I took the boys to swim class while Tim did a few things around the house. After swim, it was time to tackle the new closet install. The folks at The Container Store must have asked me six or eight times if we were sure we wanted to install it ourselves. They made it sound like such a big deal and said it would take us 8 hours. I explained to them that I do construction for a living and that we love stuff like this. We were pretty confident that it would not take 8 hours. All told, it took us 4-1/2 hours to install and that included time spent shimming out a bowed out wall. Were it not for that, it would have probably only been 3-1/2. Maybe The Container Store needs to hire us!! But seriously, Tim & I work great together and we had fun installing the shelving and baskets. During all that time, Grandma kept the boys busy inside (it was rainy and cold) with play doh, coloring and trucks. Saturday night, Tim & I even disappeared for dinner out! Who did we think we were?! A project AND dinner out. It was really nice and we appreciate Grandma C watching the boys.
Sunday, we went to church, played more play doh and tried to stay warm. Sunday night, I decided to be crazy at the last minute and have a Super Bowl party, toddler style. We had bagel bites, chicken nuggets, potato skins, mini tater tots and chips. The boys had fun serving themselves and eating with the tv on. They were also really happy and cheering that "Eli" was playing in the football game. Fun times!!

Eli used the saw he made at school to cut up the boxes
Play-doh fun with Grandma. I love how the light fixture put an angel halo on Grandma!

A little bit of outside time with Grandma. It was so cold that it didn't last long.
Saturday picnic.
Cole was all about Grandma's oranges. I've never seen him eat oranges like he did with Grandma.
Look what came in our Elfa box - a little boy!
We tore open a few boxes and let the boys draw. They loved it!
New closet......love! It's not JUST a closet anymore, it feels so calm and more like a room. Amazing difference!
Cole still found a place to hide
Boo!
Saturday night movie date.
Off to church
Eli had Daddy help him make a play-doh Angry Bird.
Super Bowl Party!
And this week, I got to meet my friend Kara's little girl - Iris Jane. Sweet name for a sweet little girl. Iris was born Tuesday morning and I met her Wednesday night. Mom and baby are happy and healthy. So excited for their family!
