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:

Thank you for a day of fun and happy memories together.

Love,

Mommy

This Number Should Be Illegal For Temperatures

Posted on January 24, 2011 8:10 am by TheAngelForever

I would not and could not make this up. That was a picture that TechyDad took when he was taking NHL to school this morning. According to the weather people, not only is it –13 outside, but it is quite windy. Once we factor in the wind chill it actually feels like it is –24.

So how do you send your child to school in this type of weather? The answer is layers. Lots and lots of layers!

NHL is wearing sweats, topped with a zip up hoody, boots, hat, two pairs of gloves, his coat, two hoods, and a scarf to protect his face. My guess is he will still feel the sting and not be warm enough. Luckily he does not have to walk far to the car and into school.

Now I am off to curl up under a blanket. For the second night in a row JSL had nightmares and was in our bed. I did not sleep since he kept kicking me.

Stay warm everyone!

Lots and Lots of Snow

Posted on January 14, 2011 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

The winter started off kind of slow here in the snow department. Over the last three weeks, Mother Nature is laughing down at a lot of us. Tuesday night into Wednesday, we got at least 13” of fresh snow.

While the snow looks very pretty, it can be tough to deal with. It melts and creates ice, which is beyond dangerous to drive on. Roofs may form ice damns that leak back into homes. If there is too much snow, you can have trouble locating a place to shovel more of it.

On the flip side, playing in the snow is lots of fun. Listening to your children laugh while they make snow angels, go on sleigh rides, and chase each other is priceless.

So my question to you this week is:

What is your favorite and least favorite part about snow? If you are not in a snowy area, I hate you… –er I mean what is the first thing you would like to do in snow?
