Our Crazy Life!

Once the cold weather came nobody in our cul-de-sac gets out very much and we are all going through withdrawl. Our neighbors Justin and Megan invited everyone over last weekend for a pancake breakfast in our pjs. The boys had fun playing with all of their friends again.

Nolan's new favorite thing to do is push chairs or stools around the kitchen to get into trouble. He loves digging in the silverware drawer and climbing up on top of the island. This kid is going to be trouble!

On stay home days Spencer typically says to me "mom where are we going to go today? I think we should do something fun." Even they don't want to stay trapped in the house all day. This week we checked out an indoor playground. They wanted to dress alike and I thought this would be a great way to keep an eye on all of them.

Spencer and Easton had fun going down the slide with Nolan.

Even I climbed up to play with them.

They talked me into staying for lunch. Normally I hate taking on this task out in public by myself as they can be crazy busy but they actually sat really nice for me and all 3 of them ate well.

It was warmer out at the start of the week so we took advantage and got outside to play.

They wanted to play hockey with ice chunks.

Here Easton is pouting because Spencer keeps blocking all of his shots.

So the nice brother that Spencer is let Easton make a goal.

We took a walk to the pond.

Waiting for his dinner. He wants so badly to sit at the island with his brothers.

So I tried this and it proved to be a big mistake. Actually this week dinner time has been horrible! All three boys sit and giggle at each other making rude noises and even Nolan has perfected the fake burp sound that get's his brothers rolling on the floor laughing. Or they are poking at each other and the older two are always trying to get Nolan to laugh. We have some major table manners to work on at home. Luckily they don't seem to do this when we are out in public but still. For Now Nolan has been back in his high chair.

Here are a few pictures that were on the Hudson Hockey Association Website. Spencer is in the white.

Spencer's not in this one but if you look in the background you will see a green coat and that's Easton watching and Ryan up top.

Love when the boys are so tired they just crash.

Ryan and Uncle JB took the boys to Wild Wednesday. We got free tickets to watch the Wild scrimmage each other. The boys thought it was great. Spencer talked a lot about the game the next day.

Mini donut break. No wonder Spencer said his stomach hurt the next day Ryan told me he at about 5.

We were back a the clinic this time for Easton. His ear has been draining and sure enough it's infected. How are the two boys with tubes the ones that also have ear infections right now.

While we waited for his prescription the boys got to spend their giftcards from Christmas. Easton bought his own nerf gun and Spencer a bathtub race track.

When the boys start doing stuff like this I know we need out of the house to burn off energy before they break something.

So I thought it was a great chance to try out their skis. There isn't a lot of snow but enough for them to get the concept of moving their feet. They both LOVED the skis. It was a fight to get them off of Easton. Using the poles is hard but they both were able to slide their feet forward.

Uncle JB came over to check out the pond with the boys. If you can't tell our days are starting to all beseem the same. They all revolve around skating in some form.

Uncle JB hooked his video camera up to Spencer.

The boys raced around the ice.

Here's a video of Spencer shooting a goal through his eyes.

Ryan's family came up on Saturday to celebrate Easton's 3rd birthday early. We had a taco party and cake. He had a lot of fun having his Aunts, cousins, Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Ron here with him.
