Things are starting to get back to normal around here.  Most of our comapny is gone (Grandma is here one more week), kids are back in school, YW is back full swing with activities and meetings, life is going time to get back to doing the things we need to do.

Hazen now has homework and doesn't fight me on it one bit.  He loves feeling like a big kid. 

We ddi get to have a little bit of fun and played at the zoo with some friends, it was another lovely winter day.

We didn't get to stay long cause we had to get back to pick up the other kids from school, but we enjoyed the time we did have.

For some reason I planned all the appointments for this week.  Everyone had their dentist appointment.  Hazen was killing me with his silliness.  Stanley had his therapy and then his psychiatrist appointment.  It was a week of appointments, note to self don't o that again.

We also got a hot winter day, in the mid 80's.  Hazen insisted we get the water slide out.  I thought he would freeze.  He did complain he was cold from time to time but played well over an hour in the water.

Not hot enough for me!

We also took a night off to go see the new Puss and Boots movie.

Everyone liked it.

Friday was Grandma's last day with us so we went out in style.  We had a family night Friday, choose an adventure out of the adventure book.  Picked a trade up game... started with something we were willing to part with (a game) and try to trade up with friends.  

A few of the kids including Alex were not thrilled on the idea, but we had a hard time getting them to stop.  So much fun and always nice to see our friends.  We ended with roller-skates and Pokemon cards.

Then ended the night with froyo.  Sure fun night!

Clifton got on the skates and gave them a try.  We have some work to do ;)
