Hockey!!

Last night we had a chance to go see our local "pro" hockey team play. We got free tickets from a friend of mine and the seats were awesome. Below is how close we were I didn't take the picture but we were third row up from the floor so awesome!

I didn't know how Roman would do being confined to a chair for two hours so we told the older boys we'd just play it by ear. Well because it was a Wed. game it wasn't so busy nobody was sitting in front of us at all. All the boys moved down to the front row and Roman had plenty of room to wiggle around it was great. The guy behind us Roman made friends with (imagine that :) and he was friends with the ref's. He ended up getting all the boys a game puck from last nights game they were so excited. It was a great family night we all had a really good time. Best part is Wednesday nights are called winning Wednesday's if the Griffins win you can turn your tickets in for new free tickets to the next winning Wed. game. The Griffins won in overtime so we got 5 more free tickets to the next game in March which my friend said we could keep. Yeah I think we'll be going again:) Guess who is playing Hockey Man right now?

Great Find

Another great find at Target as if free buddies soap, and all you can grab sobe life water aren't enough....:)


I've been wanting to get my boys a game table that's similar to this for awhile without breaking the bank to do it. I had one snatched at a garage sale last summer before I could grab it. Ever since I've been keeping my eye out at thrift stores, garage sales you name it. Target has had this one on clearance for 30% off for around two months now. I keep passing it thinking it might go cheaper. Last night at Target a bunch of toys were 30% off today when I went back they were all marked down 75% off. I promptly went to check "my" table out and it was still only 30% off. I flagged down a Target employee and had him scan it and much to my delight and three little boys it scanned at 75% off as well they just hadn't changed the signs yet. So we came away with this 16 in 1 game table for $32.00. It has pool, foosball, air hockey, basketball, bean bag toss, mini golf, ping pong etc. Lot's of family fun!

More winter fun!

Today the boys and I went downtown to go ice skating. At the bargain price of $1.00/skater it's hard to beat. We had a great time we haven't ever been ice skating before but Lucas and Kaleb did great. They do rollerblade a lot so it wasn't much different. Roman did really good to they have these "things" that kids can hang onto and skate with. He didn't even need my help and was skating alone a little right before we left. I was impressed. It was a very cold 26 degrees so we didn't stay longer than an hour but it's something we'll be doing more of this winter.

At the after Christmas day clearance at Target I bought some gingerbread men to decorate with the kids. I also bought two trains that I'm saving for later this winter. Those look really cool. The boys even said that the cookies tasted good. Really?! I always thought they tasted plastic and fake..yuck..not my thing but we had fun decorating them.

Fun in the snow..

This past week we took the boys to see the move "Madagascar 2" it was so funny we laughed a lot I highly recommend it. After we got home we quickly changed into our snow gear and went sledding. It was a great family day! Ain't my baby cute!!

Lucas and Kaleb were so not impressed with all the pictures I wanted to take:) They did let me get a couple at least.

Roman on the other hand is always full of smiles for the camera.

This kid has it made doesn't he I think he walked up the hill only twice otherwise we got suckered into pulling him up.

Here is a duck that Lucas sculpted out of snow I thought it was really creative and cute. Something different than a snowman. It's kind of hard to see since everything is white but it was awesome! I was impressed.

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

Ok it's not quite this bad yet but you get the picture we have 2 1/2 feet on our deck alone. We're suppose to get another 5-10" tonight I can't even remember what color the road is. Is it white?:) Well the kids are having a blast in it at any rate we have a huge I mean huge snow pile in our front yard from the neighbors driveways. Yes, my kids actually have asked the snow plow drivers to deposit the snow in our front yard so they can make a bigger fort. At least it melts eventually right:) I'll take a pic of the fort tomorrow course it might be buried by then..anyway...in the last three days Kaleb has made $15.00 doing this:

for the neighbors he's a shoveling machine. We're either going swimming tomorrow at the Y or sledding. What's your vote? Mine is swimming in Lake Michigan in 80 degree weather.....yes I'm more than ready for summer:) Until then I'll enjoy the crisp winter air I think we'll go sledding and throw around some snowballs. Boys ever here of a white wash?.....just kidding I'm not that mean:)
