Snow Day

OK, we get it.  It's Nebraska and the weather is the worst.  It can stop snowing any time now.  Booker hopped into bed with us before 6, and when I checked the time on my phone, I was also surprised to see a voicemail from the school.  Whaaaat?  I have quit even looking at forecasts because the days I think should be cancelled are never the days that are.  Harper was ticked; she has chicks hatching at school people!  And Booker, he had to miss swim!  Then again, not having to leave the house is nice.  We put up a tent where they spent most of the day playing, fight free, while I did laundry and read my book and started uploading pictures to work on photo books because I have coupons expiring at month end.

Tomorrow is a big day for Booker; we have his Kindergarten physical.  Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner sobbing (with Booker right next to me, because, shots.)  I feel like we just did this with Harper.  Even found the pictures from that visit today, which of course brought more waterworks.
She was traumatized by the blood draw, which was not the expected finger prick.  Pretty sure she got McDonalds for both meals that day. She got over it fairly quickly, although it still comes up every time we go to the doctor.  And we've changed doctors!

And we went Miniature Golfing

Typical face, still today

So of course Booker is freaking out, and Harper is no help.  So Erich and I have loads of fun stuff planned, including but not limited to: lunch of his choice, going to the library to get his library card, riding the Scheels ferris wheel, video game playing with dad, and I had zoo on the table since technically they were going to open tomorrow, but the snow has caused a delay.  Which is cool, because I was not looking forward to that in our mainly outdoor zoo.  Lucky for us, he's so easy going I suspect after lunch and library he'll just want to go home.

We have Spring Break next week, and not much planned other than avoiding cabin fever.  Hoping for good weather or else lots of snow play and visits to the library, mall, Barnes and Noble, Runza...germs be damned, we're going to need these indoor play areas.  I wish we were traveling, preferably somewhere warm and governed by a mouse.  But I'm not picky...

Speaking of that, we were planning to surprise the kids with a trip after Labor Day, but then the stupid Star Wars hullabaloo is opening August 29th.  I won't be able to convince Erich to go for at least another year.  Going to push for early 2020 so we can go one last time before having to pay for Harper as an adult.  It's a racket...but we're so addicted lol.  We're those Disney people now.  I'm Ok with it.

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!
