The weather has finally been nice the past few days, and we have made sure to get the boys out as much as possible and enjoy it before the cold comes back this week. Friday, Bob got home and the boys were already outside enjoying the afternoon riding bikes and playing with the neighbors. They had such a fun time running around.
Saturday morning we went for a run as a family - Bob pushed the boys and we did a couple miles before Jacob got out and jogged .4 of a mile with me at the end. He surprises me all the time with his goals and what he wants to do. He is such a great natural athlete and enjoys himself so much. We got back and the boys played outside all the way until lunch time. We came in for a quick lunch before heading back out. Jacob was so proud of himself again because I told him he could go next door and ring the doorbell himself to ask his friends if they wanted to come out and play. He loved going to the door himself without me being right there. Also, a great time to practice manners when asking a friend to play.
Joshua walked around picking up chunks of snow and smashing them on the ground, yelling, "Hulk SMASH!"
Saturday afternoon we headed to my mom and dad's house. The boys went on a walk with Bob and my mom while my dad and I went for a 4 mile run together. So nice to run outside, and first run with my dad for the year! We had dinner with mom and dad and then headed home. The boys were so tired from the fresh air and not taking a nap that day.
Sunday, Bob let me sleep in. Joshua and I were up from 5 to 6:30 - Josh had my cough a little bit, and I was nervous with his asthma, so I gave him his albuterol, which kept him from falling back asleep. He watched cartoons in my bed until around 7, and Bob let me sleep then from 7 to almost 9. Made my cold feel a little better! Mom and Dad came down and I met them out at Panera, but the boys stayed home and played Legos with Bob. Bob had already made them French toast that morning, so they were full. When we came home, all of us headed to Chuck E. Cheese for some games.
The boys LOVE this snowmobile game. They are pretty darn good at it, too!
Love this picture of Jacob and his hands. His hair is crazy because of wearing his hat right after taking a shower, haha. But, I love his sweet little hands here!
Jacob checking out the score playing air hockey. He is pretty good!
The boys kept their own game going for a pretty long time. Josh was doing a great job hanging in there, but he eventually lost interest and moved on without finishing.
Jacob's prizes!
We went out to lunch, and then the boys went home with Bob for naps while my parents took me to get my new running shoes for my early birthday present. I love my new shoes, and I can't wait to wear them! Nice to shop there and take my time and not have the boys with me. Joshua was with me the last time, and even though the boys are awesome, I always rush myself so I don't make them wait on me too long. When I came home, Bob and the boys were all in our bed sleeping - they had an awesome, and much needed, nap. I went for a run, and then we all went outside and played. Jacob used his new remote control truck from Santa, and Joshua is obsessed with driving the fire truck right now.
After dinner and bath time, we played a game of Chutes and Ladders. The first one is blurry, but I love them posing together so much. Jacob was saying "cheese" and Joshua was saying, "best friends forever." So sweet. Lately, Joshua has been telling Jacob he is the, "best XXX in the whole wide world." During dinner, Jacob started singing a song, and Joshua said, "Jacob, you are the best singer in the whole wide world." It is so cute.
Such a nice, quiet weekend just spending time as a family. Not looking forward to the colder weather after this little taste of getting back outside. But, I am looking forward to all the fun things we have planned for March and April, with spring break right around the corner!
