A Snow Day

So far, we've had a REALLY mild winter. I am probably jinxing us by saying this, but it's true. Our January and February has felt more like spring than winter. Back in January, we had one real, good snow to play in, so we had to make the most of it.

We went sledding behind the school and even made a couple snowmen.  By noon the next day they had melted, so I'm glad to took advantage of it while it lasted!

A Phineas and Ferb Birthday - Part One

For E's 5th birthday, she was allowed to invite 5 friends to her party. She chose 3 boys and 2 girls, so we had to find a theme that was gender-neutral. Phineas and Ferb was an easy choice. E loves the show's crazy inventions and messes that Phineas and Ferb make, plus the catchy original songs.

Renovations - Before and After

So, now that I have my new camera, I decided to take some "after" pictures of the work we did downstairs.

Who doesn't enjoy a good before and after?

It's Walleye Time

I was looking back to last year to link to the ice hockey game we went to in Toledo, but somehow I didn't blog it! I am still in shock about that... Anyway, during our Ohio birthday weekend we were able to attend another Toledo Walleye game and it was just as much fun as last year.

My bro-in-law is able to reserve a suite through his company. Let me tell you, that is the way to go when watching a sports event. Snacks, drinks, flat screen TV, roomy seats, nobody spilling beer on you... And then there's the DESSERT CART. Aw yeah! Oh, and there's some guys playing ice hockey, too. Almost forgot to mention that part.

"Suite" Sweet Seats

Private visit from the mascots - another suite perk!

The Mudhen was welcome...

Until he tried to steal our pizza!

For "Kids Night" they had Spiderman live and in person:

I had fun trying out my telephoto lens:

Can you feel the action?

See, I was there, too!

The game went into overtime with a shootout. It was very exciting!

We love Ice Hockey!
