Lots of Silliness Around Here

I have to believe that cabin fever's to blame, but it seems to me that our boys are growing sillier and sillier by the day. They have done such a great job entertaining each other during our winter days spent at home, but we're all dreaming of those warmer days so we can run off a little steam outside. Last winter was still far worse in terms of below zero temps for weeks on end, and record amounts of snowfall in decades, but this year is probably a close second...at least from what my brain can recall over the last 9+ years of living here!








We build a lot of forts (only to be demolished seconds later), build huge towers with blocks and Lego's (similar story), chase each other around the house, play in Will's tent, have indoor picnics, and pretty much anything else we can drum up to maintain our sanity.


























































It's always a fun time when Dave decides to take the boys on an adventure to Cabela's. We took them last weekend, and they had so much fun watching all the fish in the aquarium, and eating kettle corn :) At least we have some travel on the horizon to help shake up the winter blues.








































On a separate note, my 20 week ultrasound is set for February 14th...how fun to think that (assuming the baby cooperates) we'll find out if our little nugget is a boy or girl on Valentine's Day. Stay tuned for the news :)

Awesome. Feb. 14th is the latest my doc will let me go...so if baby is not here by then...we'll have a Val's baby.

We too have made several field trips to Cabelas! It's always a good time. Glad to see we're not the only ones being crazy silly.

Can't wait to hear your news. :) We have had cabin fever too this winter, but there is something fun about just staying in and doing those fun things you described. Sounds like the boys are having a lot of fun too.
