Lots of Random

On Alexa's last day of school before break they had a Christmas program. Let's see...a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds + lots of excitement and energy + no attention span + singing songs = possibly the cutest thing ever! Not totally sure what was going on half the time but the kids were hyped up, that's for sure. Also, after every song there was about 5 kids that would ask, "Is it time to eat the cookies now?" Seriously, cute.

So I just had to share one of the songs. Actually it wasn't so much a song, they were just saying it...either way it was funny.

There was a chubby snowman
He had a carrot nose
Along came a bunny
And what do you suppose
The hungry little bunny
Was looking for his lunch
He ate the snowman's carrot nose
NIBBLE! NIBBLE! CRUNCH!

Adorable.

Today was about day number 80 with temps in the negatives. Okay, not 80 but if you live in the Midwest and in this cold it feels like it has been 80 days. This weekend we woke up and it was almost 30 below. BRRRR!!!

Anyway, needless to say we didn't get out much this past weekend and we were all feelin the cabin fever in our house. So today the kids and I went to the Giggle Factory and spent about 5 hours climbing, sliding, running and jumping. Is it just me or are these places like heaven to a mother? I mean really, whoever though of making a big room full of padded stuff that wears kids out so they pass out withing seconds of getting in the car and that also has big comfy chairs for mom to sit on and watch it all was a genius. Pure genius.

Has anyone checked out Pocket Your Dollars after I talked about it here? Just curious what you thought if you did. We are still using it and loving it. A few weeks ago we got all this for $35. They literally paid us about $3.50 for the 8 boxes of cereal.

Last but not least I want to thank everyone for all the awards over the past couple of weeks. I love them and they always make my day. I hate to brag, but I have the best bloggy friends in the world. I'm not always good at following the rules with these (which is so unlike me) :) but I wanted to let ya'll know your the greatest and thank you!!
