Fun on a Snow Mountain

Posted on February 26, 2011 9:47 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

This morning, Nana called to invite us over to play outside. Thanks to all of the snow that fell yesterday, they had a plow come to clear their driveway. The result was a monster snow mountain in their backyard. After lunch, we packed up our things and went over to Nana and Papa’s backyard. This picture shows just how tall it was compared to NHL.

The two of you had SO much fun romping, sledding, digging, and climbing in the snow.

Here are some shots of NHL:

And some of JSL:

The two of you, and Daddy, had an amazing time playing together and making wonderful memories. I know I will sleep well remembering your laughter tonight. Of course, I may be dreaming of laughter at Disney World in the warmth and not the snow.

Love,

Mommy

Missing Our Family Weekend

Posted on February 19, 2011 1:32 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

This weekend, we were supposed to go away. Cousin BA turns one on Monday, so his birthday party is today. We were going to spend a long weekend there to visit with family and let all of you have fun and play. Unfortunately, the two of you have not been feeling well. Daddy and I decided that it was too long of a drive to do with nobody sleeping well and not feeling great.

We spent the morning cleaning the upstairs room again. The two of you are so excited about having the play space. I think I am looking forward to seeing the floor in the living room since the toys will be moving.

To try to make up for things, we are getting ready to have family movie time. We are catching up on some Disney movies that the two of you have not seen. First up is Peter Pan. Thanks to Disney Junior the two of you now want to watch it and are interested in seeing Captain Hook.

We better hurry, I think Piggy may eat all of the popcorn that Daddy just made!

Love,

Mommy

Music Box Debacle and Despicable Me

Posted on February 12, 2011 5:14 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

This morning, we decided to surprise both of you with a trip to Lowe’s for their Build and Grow event. We had not gone to a Lowe’s event in a while because they seemed too complicated and lacked reliable instructions. Still, when I saw the project this week, I thought it was cute and would make a fun present.

When we arrived, you saw the project for the first time. The mission was to build a music box for Valentine’s Day. 50 people had actually signed up for the event, so it was held on quickly put together platform “tables” with bucket chairs for people that wanted them. At this point, we should have run far, far away.

We stayed and it quickly became clear to us that it was not a good situation. The instructions were NOT clear (Home Depot does a much better job) and several times parts broke when we tried to hammer a nail in. Daddy and I finally decided to pack you both up and head to another location. Both of you were very upset and JSL even cried. I do not believe that we will be heading back to Lowe’s anytime soon. Just not worth the stress involved in what should be a fun activity.

We went to a few locations, went home for lunch, and then went to the library for some more books and things. When we got home, we decided to watch Despicable Me together. It was so nice sitting on the couch as a family and laughing together at the movie. I hope we can do this again soon.

Love,

Mommy

Saturday Surprise at Home Depot Thanks to the Ice

Posted on February 5, 2011 2:58 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

This morning we decided that we had to head to Home Depot to get some calcium chloride to put on the ice dams. Daddy and I heard that if we put that into some panty hose, that it would help to make channels for the melting mess. Our hope is that this project will help us avoid water coming into our bedrooms.

As we pulled into Home Depot parking lot, we realized it was the first Saturday of the month. That is when they do the Kids Workshop projects set up. After we grabbed 50 pounds of calcium chloride, I took NHL to check out what the project was.

We started the project together, then Daddy helped JSL to get started. You both enjoyed doing this and decorating it when you were finished.

Luckily the project did not take a long time, so we were back home to set up what we hope will prevent the roof from leaking in. Here are your finished projects at home.

Now we are keeping busy by cleaning the room upstairs. Both of you are so excited to have this space for a playroom. Hopefully we can work together as a team to get this going and finished soon.

Love,

Mommy

Time For a Little Chuck E

Posted on January 29, 2011 5:49 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL & JSL,

This afternoon we went to Chuck E. Cheese. It has been a long time since we went there. As a family, we tried to go there when visiting Bubbe and Grandpa (January 2008), but it did not go too well. JSL’s last visit to the one near here was in April 2009, before he turned two. You are quite a lot bigger now:

Since JSL was invited to a friend’s fourth birthday party, we asked NHL if he wanted to go and play. Much to our surprise, you said yes, so we all went. It can be a bit overwhelming there, but you both had a great time. NHL, you went off and played with Daddy and had a blast winning tickets. You loved surprising me with your mega win. JSL kept clapping every time he got a ticket. It was so cute to watch. JSL, you are still not a fan of the Chuck E Cheese character, but you coped when he was around.

My favorite part of the day is the drawings that each of you had made with Daddy. Here they are:
