The snow started about 11:00 on Friday (1/29) and did not stop the rest of the day. The kids had so much fun playing in about 4 inches of snow. Jon and I stayed warm inside, but the kids went sledding and had a blast. It stayed around for several days, then by Monday afternoon had pretty much all melted. That is my kind of snow. After about 24 hours without leaving the house I get cabin fever!! On Saturday Katelyn and I ventured to the mall, on Sunday afternoon I went to Target and Sunday evening we all went to church. School was canceled for Monday so I took a vacation day to stay home with the kids-my babysitter-a/k/a GrandSherry was in Atlanta so couldn't watch them this time. Today is Katelyn's 5th Birthday. She was so excited last night that she couldn't fall asleep. She came in our room about 12:15 and said she hadn't been able to fall asleep so I put her in bed with us. (Heston joined us about 3:30). Kate woke up this morning, and much to her surprise she HAS to go to school on her birthday-I guess she thought she'd have the day off! After much crying I finally convinced her that being with her friends on her birthday was much better than staying home. That brought us to the next issue of the morning. Since her party is tomorrow, and all her friends from school will be there I did not get any cup cakes to take to school today-this led to another crying fit. When I explained she would have it tomorrow at her party it led to yet another crying fit!! She thought her party was tonight. I finally convinced her that this way she celebrates for 2 days and not just one and she calmed down. After all that we all got ready and got out the door to go about our day.
The other night, something woke me and Jon up, we could tell it was a kid in the hallway, just didn't know which one. Jon went to investigate and there he was, Heston! When Jon asked what he was doing he said "I had to go potty!" He woke up, took himself potty and was on his way back to bed!! Yea he is potty trained, even night time potty trained! We are thrilled. He is getting to be such a big boy (if I could just get the pacie away!)
Josh has a game tonight and one on Saturday then the end of season tournement. That will end the basketball season. He has had a great time learning another sport. Baseball sign-ups are rapidly approaching and he is looking forward to that. School is going fine for him-he will be getting his report card soon-he has been on the honor roll all year, so he should this time too.
Jon got to stay in town this week, so I have had a little break with all the weekly homework, bath, etc caos, but he has worked some long hours, so overtime pay will be nice, too. We adults are fine. No real news here. Hope all is well, and after her party, princess tea (on Saturday) I will be posting pics next week!! Until then Cheers!
