It's March?

Where did the 1 week of March go?  Holy cow time is flying!  Here are some recaps of days:

Sunday: Went up north to my in-laws because Jared went to Chicago for work.  Grandma had made chili for us
Monday: Hung out at my in-laws and enjoyed my time with the kids - Grandpa brought Girl outside to play for almost an hour

"Come on Grandpa, let's go swing"

Chatting away

The slide can be a tricky thing in winter when the bottom is facing directly into a tree!!

Tuesday: Went to Brainerd and shopped with Grandma.  We found some pjs for Boy

huhhh?

No wonder Christin has given him the nickname "Cheeks"

Wednesday: Played around the house and Girl baked a cake with Grandpa

Thursday: We left around noon, the kids took baths, and we relaxed until bed time. When we got home I had a ton of mail waiting for me.  There was one thing in there that I was REALLY wanting – “Sophie the Giraffe”.  Boy LOVES it.  He was a bit hesitant at first, but now he really gnaws on it  and does his best to shove it in his mouth as soon as he sees it.  He prefers it when we’re holding it and he can move our hands to get it into his mouth.  He’s just so darn cute sometimes.  Then there are the nights lately.  Things got a bit messed up with the traveling and he is in a schedule of waking up every 2-3 hours at night.  NOT cool.  It is exhausting.

Friday: I taped the wood in Girl's room to get it prepped for a "bedroom makeover". Jared primed and painted Girl's room and we also met Grandma and Grandpa for lunch.  They were closing on the house that they sold so they were down here in the cities.  Girl also got to see her Auntie Jenn and cousin B.
I now remember that painting creates such a mess.  We had brushes, towels, drop cloths, paint, tape, etc. all over the upstairs.
Saturday: We put girl's room back together and I realized I have no decorating skills whatsoever. Jared eased himself back into studying.
Sunday: Jared was back at the studying grind as well as being absolutely awesome about helping with the kids.

Here are some pics from the week:
