Wow how fast a week goes by? We had a very busy week and weekend. I think i will do it from Sunday to whenever i can remember! First off we both have colds and haven't been sleeping very well the past 3 nights so i am thinking its going to be a very long day at work today! Hayden is also VERY clingy to me this past week. I call him my shadow. He wants to sleep with me go and do anything with me. Its kind of weird. I don't think he has been sleeping in his own bed more then a couple hours each night. Okay back to last week!

Sunday: Hayden, RaeAnn and myself stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Coon Rapids. Hayden woke up early for me and he insisted we go have breakfast right away. Then we swam for a little while, well mostly sat in the hot tub but he was okay with that "it feels good". We then went to Toys R Us and bought some food for his kitchen set. Play food has gotten so cool! We bought a pizza set and it all Velcro's together. They had sets that were all like that. Then we drove home. Hayden sleeping until Hinckley. Then it was home to play for a little while and then we drove to Smith's house to see Daddy and watch the football games. And that's all i will say about football games! Except at Packer half time we went to my mom's house and ate yummy appetizers and packer cupcakes made by Emily and Brittany.

Friday/Saturday: We drove to the cities and stayed Friday night at Lisa and Nick's house. We woke up BRIGHT and early to the nasty cold weather and went to ELMO! Live at the Target center. We did this last year too! The kids seem to really enjoy it! We pit stopped at Starbuck's on the way to the show and Hayden and Jessica chimed in that they wanted something. So we ordered them Kiddie Hot Chocolates. Hayden did not like his which i thought was weird but i have figured out that with his cold sweets don't taste good to him, he didn't like the cupcakes and didn't like Jessica's birthday cake or ice cream. Okay so after the show it was time for Jessica's birthday party(Saturday was her actually birthday! Happy Birthday Jessica!). She got lots of neat gifts and yummy food. Hayden holed himself up with her kitchen set. He did not feel good at all for Jessica's party. We also went swimming on Saturday night it was so nice to sit in a hot tub when it was -200 degrees out! We ate at Mcdonalds for supper that night "Not my daddy's Mcdonalds but another Mcdonalds"

Okay the rest of the week. He had way to much fun at Angie's house this week and did not want to leave! Ben has that probably too she must need to be more mean! On Thursday i started working as "Call Staff" at WITC in their LRC(library!) I will work every thursday morning from 8 until i go to work at the high school. Its really calm there, very weird. I caught on fast since i have been working in libraries since Jan 2000. Jason has been working his butt off. They are expecting their SOR(surprise inspection thingie!) sometime before Feb 7. SO he is basically working 6 day weeks 9+ hours a day which means he will really deserve our trip to Texas! I don't know if i put that on here yet. But Jason, Hayden, Mike and Raeann and me are going to visit Michael and Laura in the beginning of Feb. We are driving! It will be fine i am sure it just better be at least 55 when we are there! Okay i'll post pics in a while! Have a good week!

What A Fun Weekend!

Oh wow. We had so much fun this weekend. It went by soooo fast too! Hayden was a pretty good boy and Jess played SO nice. I was pretty lucky on Friday i worked for my co-worker Sue, who's son was in the hospital w/a broken arm. So i got down at 2:50 on Friday and we were on the road by 3:30. Hayden slept the majority of the way, and we watched Elmo for the last 30 mins, and we stopped for a push up! He loved it, but he thought the stick to hold it was a straw and kept sucking on it to get the sherbet out! We got to Lisa and Nick's at like 5:45 and had yummy pizza! The kids played and played and got really worked up! It was hard to calm them down friday, but they played great!
Saturday started early by getting up and getting everyone ready to go by 9:20. Elmo started at 10:30. We were really lucky with parking and everything we got in and out super quick at the Target center which makes life a lot easier. Elmo was awesome. It was not cheesy or super kiddish. They had good music(If you like the whole Sesame Street Tunes like i do! Lisa too!) and kids were sooooooooo good. They sat pretty great the whole time. I loved our seats because we had comfy folding chairs on an upper lower level platform and we could have as much room as we needed and the kids could stand up and dance. The show had all the characters and was so jazzy and upbeat. Jason couldn't help himself and bought Hayden a ridiculous expensive light up toy from the show. Hayden of course loved it! Boys! Then after the show we had two sleeping beauties and the mommies and daddies brought food from Chipotle home. I have been wanting to try it forever! It was great. I want one up here! Then we went to IKEA! We didn't by much but we have more of an idea for what we want for our future desk/entertainment center. We ate Swedish Meatballs( Hay's favorite) at Ikea and walked around some more. Then it was home and we went to bed.
Sunday started out slow. We were all tired i think. Jason made us all breakfast and then the boys took the kids outside. They had so much fun outside and came in with very rosy cheeks. We spent the rest of the day trying to get Hayden to take a nap, playing and then we drove over to Eden Prairie to their indoor plaything. Its all foam and the kids can climb and what all. It was nuts there. A TON of kids. Hayden who was SUPER crabby didn't really enjoy himself, but boy did Jessica have fun. It was kinda funny when a little African American girl came up to Hayden and put her fingers threw his hair. He had a funny look on his face, but you know those flowing curls are very had for people to resist. Hayden slept the whole way home so we had a nice and peaceful drive!
All and all it was so much fun. We don't know what were are going to do next weekend without Jessica!
Have a great week

Sesame Street Live here we come!

Okay, I HATE things with characters on them. I never put them on Hayden, unless they are super cute. Jammies are one thing. I also don't do light up. But i broke down and bought Hayden an Elmo sweatshirt, and Zoe for Jessica! It just seemed appropriate for him to wear it to the show on saturday. I snapped a picture of them with Hayden's help! He loves to take pictures.

Hayden can not wait to go to Jess's house. All week long that's all he has talked about. He got really mad at me today when i told him he was going to Jake's house. He started crying and said "No, I want to go JESS's house!" But he knows we are going tomorrow, so he wants to go to Jake's now.
I am excited because i get to go to IKEA! Yeahhhh. But there really isn't anything i need. But that usually doesn't stop me. I am going to look at some pictures for my walls. I also think we are going to try and get a Wild Rumpus stop in, since we didn't make it last weekend. The kid doesn't need anymore books, wait no you can always need more books! But its the experience there. I also hope the kids get a lot of playing in!
Wish us luck for a quick, peacefully ride there and back. And that Elmo isn't too insane. For the mommy and daddy's sake! Have a great weekend!
