Our Week In Review...

We started off our Monday with our first music class on 2012! Of course, the boys loved the singing, dancing, and just going crazy;) After music, we headed to a small playgroup with the Newcomer's group in town where we got more and more playtime out of the house. We spent the afternoon just chilling around the house and even got outside for a little outdoor playtime. It was beautiful out! This boy LOVES the train just as much as his older brother:

And this one loves his snack time!:

On Tuesday, someone had his third day of preschool! Less than a minute and the tears went away and he had a wonderful day:) Andrew and I headed home for a quick nap for our little guy while I got a few things done around the house. Then we headed to a town close by to do a couple returns and grab me a lunch from Panera-what a treat for me! And I even picked up a McDonald's Happy Meal for the boys so no dishes for me at lunchtime!!! Aiden woke up quite early from nap so we got ready for some painting:) Thanks MeMe Rogers for the smock-I have a feeling that these will last for a long time!

We did some painting before our friends popped over to do some crafting and playtime! Afternoon playdates always make the day go a little quicker:) We had some soup for dinner and had a little extra time to play before bed!

On Wednesday, we headed over to the library in town to check out some books about winter and some new movies for the week! After the library, we headed to a local pizzeria to meet up again with the Newcomer's group! The kids got to make their own little pizzas before eating them. The kids had a wonderful time, despite the amount of time it took to get our pizza, and we arrived home just in time for naps! After naps, we played at home for the afternoon, which usually consists of some crafting, snack time, and playing in our basement! This little guy was extra silly before bedtime:

On Thursday, Aiden discovered some birds at our feeder first thing in the morning! Thanks Grandpa for our Christmas gift:)
After getting ready for school, we headed over to drop off our big boy with not one tear today!!!! Andrew took a short nap before we headed over to our playgroup with his friends. After picking up Aiden, we headed for a short trip to Target to pick up some necessities! It was close to lunchtime, but thankfully we had some goldfish for Andrew and a little iPhone use for Aiden to keep these boys content! After naps, we played and played and played and were glad that we finally got to see Chris before bedtime! Chris took care of the boys' bedtime while I snuck out for an evening lap swim with a friend.

Finally, Friday came! As much as I love my boys, the weeks during busy season and the cold winter make it extra hard to be a stay at home mama with these two VERY active boys!

After a short morning for Andrew, we headed over to Barnes and Noble to meet a friend for some treats and train table time!!! I let each one pick out a special treat-Andrew picked out an Elmo book (one of his favorite characters, he wouldn't put it down) and Aiden chose the Maisy Valentine book. After a short quiet time for Aiden and a short nap for Andrew, I still have several hours to kill before Chris arrived home for dinner. We headed to a different Target as I heard they were having a great clearance on children clothes and I can always stock up for next year! We did find some really cute shirts for about three dollars each and the boys had a FUN time. Aiden was pretending the cart was a choo-choo train and he was the conductor and had this whole made up game the entire time we were there. He was sad when we had to load in the car! We made a pit stop on the way home to grab a milkshake for the three of us to split and spent the rest of the afternoon playing around the house and watching Toy Story!!! Finally, Chris arrived home and the weekend began!
