Mario Kart
The neighborhood kids picked up Wii soo fast.
The gang hasn't learned "you make a better door than a window" though.

I totally nailed today!
When the boys woke me at their usual 6am, I saw the forecast of high of 49 today!
I decided I was going to rally and make this one successful winter day!
We started with their new favorite game, Basement Obstacle Course. I time them against their own best times and change up the course once they reach their best time. Watch each one's run here.

After everyone was worn out, Gavin went down for his nap and Ethan and I settled in for our traditional weekend afternoon snuggles. Soooo much more comfy on our new couch! Major win- Ethan actuality slept! That never happens! I, of course, immediately joined him.
Then we met up with our neighborhood pals Thane and Dan for sledding, snowballs, and snowmen.
About 5 seconds after they proudly posed with their snowman classmates Thane and Ethan pummeled and demolished it. Frosty, and Gavin, didn't see it coming. Tears quickly flowed. Kindly, Dan made Gavin a new one 2 minutes flat.
I couldn't because, you know, Floridian. But boy I'm faking this winter thing best I can!

Happy Valentine's Day 2014
Thank you Suz for the gift of a rare date night! She even brought crafts!
The boys didn't even realize we were gone with our celebrity guest. They were fighting for turns with Suz snuggles by the end.

Basketball + Birthday Party = EASY Bedtime!!
Today was Ethan's basketball team's first game, with their Coach Chris as their fearless leader. Ethan's shirt says it all!
His Assistant Coach Gavin was never far from his side.
When it was game time and our turn to watch from the stands, I pulled out the big guns.
Daniel the Tiger.
Yeah...that didn't cut it. A couple tears seems to be a tradition every sports season's first game when Gavin has to go to the sidelines. :(
Ethan on the other hand had a ball! This seemed to be a sport that he REALLY enjoys!!
Afterwards was their buddy Thane's 6th birthday party!
With fun like Twister...
and a remote control car mash up!
After putting napless Gavin to sleep at 7pm, I went to check on Ethan.
Sound asleep by 7:30 with his superhero books.
Now I'm off to follow his lead, whew!

Bouncing and bathroom boredom
Today we spent the morning with friends at Bounce U (as did the rest of the county!) When we weren't there, Gavin and I were in the bathroom reading super hero books, or cleaning up (okay, throwing out) underwear from the number two that has successfully evaded the potty for a week. Friends, I remember you've been there. How did you get your kiddo over the poop in potty mountain?
