Talking about Tagalongs ~
Me: Those are my favorite!
D: If it didn't have the peanut butter between the chocolate and the crunchy part, it would be even gooder!
Me: But that's the best part!
Dad: He's not your child.
J: But I am C's child!
Us: Uhm... Uhm...
J: Mom, if you were gone, I would miss you! (starts getting teary)
Me: Buddy, I'm not going anywhere, so you don't have to worry.
J: I know, it's just that every time I say that my eyes get all sad. 💔
(2/10) Lazy day for the kiddos and me. Dad had to go in to work, and the third round of snow started up after he got home. My office, as well as the boys' school cancelled already for tomorrow. I love snow, but I also love when it goes after having stayed too long!
(2/11) Another snow day for the kiddos. I normally work from home on Mondays, and that's what I did again today. Seattle broke a 70 year old record with the snow here. Craziness! The boys video-gamed the day away while I worked. Dad was the only one of us that left the house, and that was so he could go to work.
(2/12) And yet another snow day. I worked from home again, and Dad dug the SUV out enough to go in. We had a bit of rain/snow mix today, which tamped things down a little, but it's still nasty out. Sarah took J sledding with her crew this morning, and they had lots of fun. And I managed to sneak out long enough to trek to Starbucks with her for a cup of sanity this afternoon.
(2/13) Guess what? Yep, another snow day! The kids and I bummed around home for yet another day. They're finally going back tomorrow, so I went out to get Valentine's stuff for their classes, and Dad brought home some treats for us.
(2/14) Happy Valentine's Day! The kids went back two hours late, and got to attend their parties. I'm so glad! I finally made it into work for the first time in a week, and had a busy day there. I'll be working from home tomorrow though, since we'll be leaving as soon as I'm done. We figured we'd escape the snow by going to more snow!
(2/15) I worked from home today, even though I've been home *a lot* over recent days. We travelled to Chelan for the weekend. It's a long drive, but worth it! We got in late, and I settled the twins in while Dad went to grab a few things from the market. And once the kiddos were in bed, us parents had some wine to kick off vacation!
(2/16) Dad fixed us a fancy breakfast this morning, and then D and I tromped around the grounds until the sledding area opened. Echo Valley was amazing for tubing! It would also be perfect for beginner ski and board. We opted for just tubing today. J and D built a base in a snow bank, and C and I trekked up the hill to do the slides. C and J both loved the fastest/bumpiest lane, while I preferred the slower. We never could coax D away from the snow bank. When we got back to the condo, the boys played some screen time and Dad and I snuck out to do some wine tasting. At the first place, they gave us coupons to the next, so we felt obligated to continue on. For dinner we all went to the Lake Chelan Brewery. We had some of the most delicious fish and chips there that I've ever had. We're acquiring a bunch of must visit places over here!
(2/17) Today we bummed around the condo for the morning, and went to lunch at Company Creek Pizza, with its old school arcade. Dad brought a huge stash of quarters from home; way more than we ever could go through. When we got back, the twins got on their snow gear and went out to play, and C went for a swim. I derped and forgot the twins' suits, but they had a lot of fun outside. We watched AFV, and had popcorn and Girl Scout cookies for dessert this evening after a fun day.
(2/18) Home again, home again. Jiggety-jog. We woke up early, and as is typical for us, were packed up and on the road by 8am. This family does not laze around on the last morning. We came home, got unpacked, and I was working outside, when D came out with a geyser of a bloody nose. It took forever to get stopped, so I phoned their doctor to see if I could bring him in. We have a referral now to an ENT. Poor buddy also has an ear infection. I ran errands after that excitement, and finally we all made it back home for dinner. Never a dull moment!
(2/19) Work day for Dad and me, and the boys had their last day of mid-winter break. They stayed home and video-gamed the day away, and Nanan came to see them this afternoon. Work was crazy busy, as is the norm for Tuesdays. I'm so ready for things to slow down!
(2/20) Day off for me, school for the boys, and work day for Dad. I worked in the boys' classes today ~ reading with the kids in D's class, and helping with math groups in J's. D had an appointment after school, to which he grumpily went, with a few "I HATE YOU"s thrown in for good measure. 7 going on teenager right here! The rest of the evening went fine. God forbid we mess with screen time though.
(2/21) Busy work day for me. We held three trainings at work, and I cut loose after the last one. The boys had school today, and Dad had the day off. He went to the nursery today and has started planning out our spring planting. He picked up some sunflowers to start ~ I hope they do well in the super sunny bed!
(2/22) Sarah and I went walking this morning before work. It's still slick in spots, but I'm glad to have our routine back after so many snow days. Work was super busy again today. I started doing something this morning that would normally take me 10 mins at 8am, and finally clicked done at 4pm. That kind of busy! C had curling practice this evening, and the twins and I had a very welcome lazy evening!
(2/23) Sarah and I hit the gym for Strong and Zumba this morning. We noodled our way home after that. Dad went junkyarding with some buddies, after fixing a flat on the teenager's car. They all went out to Bad Dog this afternoon, and had a great time. I visited the vampires today (gave blood), and came home and vegged, while the boys played on screens.
(2/24) Day off for the boys and me. I caught a walk to coffee with Sarah, and listened to a book, but didn't do a whole lot other than that. We kicked ourselves outside to play this afternoon at a neighborhood park. The boys had a blast with the remaining snow out on the playground. My "walking track" (basketball court) was still all covered. Womp-womp.
(2/25) Work day for Dad and me, and school for the boys. Today was the Mondayest Monday that ever Mondayed. Here's to a better Tuesday!
