Between a basketball league and being church treasurer, John is gone at least two nights a week, and with my crazy schedule I am gone some evenings, so just getting through work and our evenings at home can be quite an accomplishment.
Things seem to have pretty much settled down some since the holidays are over. John's work rented out a suite at the SkyForce game on Tuesday night, so we took the kids to that. It ended up being pretty fun. I had to take Elliott home to bed at halftime, since 7:30pm is usually bedtime for him or else he gets pretty crabby. Emma had a blast at the basketball game, and really enjoyed watching all the activity and running around like a crazy toddler.
Tomorrow night, John's work is finally having their Christmas party, so the kids are going to Jim and Barb's for the night. We are pretty excited for an evening away from the kids and a morning to sleep in and tackle cleaning our garage.
Other highlights from the last couple weeks:
-The Vikings crushed our souls again last Sunday. They missed a field goal at the 27 yard line to give them the lead in a playoff game with 26 seconds left to go in the game. It was pretty painful. I think we are still recovering from that.
-Elliott is getting VERY close to walking. He can stand up all by himself in the middle of the room, but is too timid to take more than one step and then fall over and start crawling again. It won't be long and he's going to be walking all over the place.
-It's been really cold lately. Like -2 degrees for a high. Ready for spring already.
-Cabin fever is already setting in. On my days off with the kids (like today) it's getting harder to fill the entire day up with things to do. I miss being outside.
-Bathtime is still an evening highlight in this house. Elliott loves to take a bath and splashes like a mad man. It's pretty entertaining.
-I was in a 3rd Sioux Falls car accident on New Year's Eve. Nothing major, but enough to require some work to be done on my 4-month old car. Wasn't my fault. Other guy ran a red light. So frustrating. At least the kids were not with me.
That's pretty much the highlights for the last couple weeks. Looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.
