What We've Been Up To

My Valentines were so excited when we got SNOW for Valentine's Day. I myself have been perfectly content with this seemingly lack of winter we've had but it was enjoyable for me to see their excitement. M hadn't really played in the snow at all since in November when it snowed I hadn't ordered her snow pants yet! Then when we were in Minnesota for Christmas and it snowed, I deemed it too cold for her to go out. So Sunday was the perfect time to get out and use the snow pants that still had tags on them! They had a blast.

And I don't mind much because it's been above freezing every day since and it is going to get to high 50s by next weekend so it will be short lived for sure. But February is volatile and I expect there will still be some tricks up it's sleeve.

My guy got a BIG walrus stuffed animal to go with his BIG penguin from Christmas. Well... he pretty much loves it. As does M. It's a good thing he has a double bed because he tucks himself in between his two big friends and it is maybe the cutest thing ever.

Sunday night we primed the walls to our living room. Monday night we painted the ceiling and walls the first coat. Yesterday was touching up the ceiling and another coat. We went with Mt. Rainier Gray from Benjamin Moore. Which is the most magical color. It is almost a light blue in the sunlight but in lamp light or overcast days it's gray for sure. We love it.

Yesterday was C's preschool roundup. He really liked the "big school" and I am really hoping he gets in. It is our parish school and where I would like him to go K-8 so here's to hoping. We are supposed to find out by April 1 but I also hope it's sooner than that in case I need to find a back up. The 4yo room was in the midst of a penguin unit and he thought that was pretty great. Plus they had three walruses which meant he was ready to move in.

And I don't know if you are a fan of Jimmy and Will's "Tight Pants" or the sequel by Jimmy and Jennifer but Jimmy, Will and Christina premiered the third installment Monday night. I must say, Christina was committed. She is very good. I kind of love her in this.

C has a pair of red sweat pants from my brother's university. He is on his third pair of the same pants in different sizes. We call them his rest pants because he wears them during rest time. It's a very good naming system. Well when he wears his rest pants, he sings this song. "Everybody's talkin' 'bout my rest pants. I got my rest pants on!" It's maybe my favorite thing ever.

So when after painting Monday night we happened to tune into The Tonight Show, which we don't do super often, and it just happened to be a "Tight Pants" night?! Gold. That's solid gold luck right there!

Well that's what we've been up to lately. Happy Wednesday!
