Snow Day!

Both Luke and Wally had a snow day today and luckily I already work from home on Tuesdays so we all got to get out and enjoy the snow for a bit!

Paige needed a little help getting going...

We enjoyed a lot of "Spring" things in the snow - slides, baseball, and golf!

And then we had some rosey, red cheeks to show for all the fun that was had! We warmed up with some hot chocolate and a nap for Paige!

And some video of our snow fun!


Happy Snow Day!

Harlem Shake (Zukowski Style!)

Luke and Wally have been obsessed with watching videos of the "Harlem Shake" online. So we decided to do our own! One thing I found out is that my kids would not make good kid actors. Talk about divas on set - ha! We had fun though and we even have 2 versions!

Luke Vision

Luke grabbed my camera a couple of weeks ago so I showed him how it worked and off he went!

Waterpark Trip 2013

We have spent a night in February at Key Lime Cove for the past two years.  It has always been sort of our "last hurrah" before baseball season begins for Wally.  Unfortunately this year with everything going on in my mind, I forgot to call Key Lime Cove to make reservations.  Once I did remember, there was a two night minimum and that is just way too long (and expensive) to be there.  So we looked into a few other options.  We like to be not too far from home since we just go for one night.  We settled on CoCo Key in Rockford - it is attached to the Clock Tower Hotel. 

And here is our PSA to all of you.  Do not go to this waterpark/hotel.  Wally and I were not happy with a lot of things about it.  I won't go into detail here, but just know that we do NOT recommend it.  Now, of course, our kids enjoyed it, but I know we all would have had a better experience somewhere else.

I don't have a ton of pictures as it is hard to have the camera out at a waterpark, but I have a few.

Paige was definitely more into it at first than Luke.  Every winter he seems to forget that he really does love water!

Paige was trying to get Luke to climb up with her!

He wouldn't, but Daddy took her!

After pizza in the room, which Luke thought was so cool, there was some chair spinning. Who doesn't love to spin in chairs?!?!

The next morning we went for breakfast and then hit up the hotel pool and tried the waterpark again.  The water was freezing - what kid (or adult) wants to go in freezing cold water!  So we hit up the arcade before leaving.

We stopped at Stacey's in Downer's Grove on our way home to celebrate her birthday (and pick up Nala).  And of course see Miss Fiona!

My Sweet Valentines!

My two very sweet, very funny Valentine's!

Untitled
Luke picked out his Valentine's for school the weekend before.  He went with Madagascar 3 this year.  We had a little fun with the heart stickers once we were done putting them together.

The kids actually cooperated for a few pictures before heading off to school.

Paige and I headed to Luke's Valentine's Day party later in the morning where we did some little projects, read some Valentine books and decorated heart cookies!
