Weekends work...

We colored, we read, we watched TV and we made many towers (with blocks and markers)... all in a weekends work for a 2 1/2 year old.

Proud Mommy

Uno, Doce...

Colton knows how to count in Spanish up to 10... surprised me while were counting letters on his whiteboard yesterday. Made Mommy very proud but I can't take the credit, my thanks to Handy Manny... :) Chuck says he already officially knows something his daddy doesn't!

Our Little Trip

Driving around Walker.


Chuck loves to play a few video games... he's still such a kid!


Ready to go out to eat our Valentine's Day supper. I made Chuck dress up...


Sitting in the bar at the 502 having a beer after supper.


Playing a few games of darts.


That should say '0'... I beat Chuck the 2nd of three games, doesn't happen often!


This side of the Legion was empty where we were playing darts, the other side was packed... it was the restaurant side where they were serving a supper special I guess. It was nice to have this all to ourselves.


Relaxing in the spa.

We had such a good time. We arrived about 5:30 and checked in and walked around. The hotel was completely redone and large with a spa and bowling alley. We went down the road to the casino and had supper and played some slots. Lost everything we played... reasons why neither of us like gambling. Saturday morning we got up early and went for breakfast and drove around Walker. We decided to go to Bemidji and did a little shopping and headed to Park Rapids to see a movie. It just so happened the one and only movie playing was the we wanted to see just as we arrived. (Mall Cop) After the movie we went back to our room where we were going to go bowl but it was $60/hr... yikes! Had supper at the 502 (the restaurant in the hotel) and enjoyed a few games of darts at the American Legion across the street and then went for a dip in the jacuzzi afterwards. Nice room, nice times, nice town... looking forward to coming back Labor Day weekend for 3 days!

Happy V-Day!

Everyone have a nice Valentine's Day!

XOXO,
Chuck, Shawna & Colton

What I did this weekend...

*UPDATED* Made many pillow tunnels, hit my eye on the toy box (now I have a black eye), painted, took only hour naps (not normal), played with trucks and rice, vacumed, made Valentine's cookies, 'helped' with the laundry, played with 'taydoh' (play-doh), didn't eat worth a darn and drove my Mommy crazy... just a few highlights of my very busy weekend.

Painting

My Colton painting... we've been on a roll all morning long.

-------------------------------------

On a different note... Chuck has an ulcer which has been causing all his problems. My worrying about that can be done. He has to go to see his doctor to get a stress test done to figure out the cause of the ulcer and his higher blood pressure. He can now can go back and get his DOT medical and start driving again.

More Snowmobiling

Chuck jumping his sled...

Shaun jumping...

Went snowmobiling yesterday with 5 others around the Wild Rice and Davenport area for about 6 hours. The temperature was quite different from last weekend. -12 vs 38... the trails were nice but the snow was so sticky I had a harder time controlling my sled. Others didn't seem to have much of a problem, but most were way more experienced than me. Colton stayed at Grandma and Papa's house and apparently kept Papa quite busy telling him what to do all day and helping fix some kitchen cabinets with his 'scewscribber.'
