The Bussis Stop: Life with the Bussis'- 2.25.15

While the twins were still dealing with nasty, yucky colds this week, and while the temperatures were, well...

FREEZING!!!...

we still managed to have quite a bit of fun (and thankfully the twins seem to be very close to being completely over their colds, just occasional snot coming out of their nose and not the nasty green anymore :)).

Micah decided the laundry basket looked like a fun place to be...

And what one does, another must do...

And what 2 do, the third must do too :)

Thursday morning we went to a Play and Learn put on by the county's school district. They had a story time and then got to do lots of different activities. My boys of course loved the tunnel.

And the "sand" (which was actually rice)

They made hand print hearts which of course mommy had to put up, so cute :)

Even though they played very hard at the Plan and Learn time and then we went to lunch with some other moms and kids and they played on the playground, both Jonathan and David thought they didn't need a nap and didn't sleep at all in their cribs. Obviously David still needed sleep :).

Speaking of cribs, and David, so Saturday I put the twins down for their nap and was downstairs and all of the sudden I heard a big thud. I ran upstairs and sure enough, there was David sitting on the floor by his crib, crying because he hit his head on the rocking chair on his way out of his crib! So, the side of their cribs will be coming off this week (as soon as I get the second toddler bed rail I ordered). Micah was a couple months younger than the twins are now when he went into a big bed, and he still to this day won't get himself out of bed. I have a feeling the twins' transition into a regular bed will not be as easy :). We shall see.

All ready for bed that night (very early I might add :))

When we went out to eat with a couple of moms, one of them had a Cuties gift box from a party she had had and she gave us one. Micah is modeling the fun beanie. Cute in the front...

Fun in the back :)

Another thing in the box was sunglasses. I think David looks pretty cool in them

So does Jonathan :) Too bad they can only look cool one at a time :)

Breakfast time

My two little stinkers :) They were quite proud that they could climb up on the bistro chairs

My sweet 4 year old (he always wants me to take his picture :))

He wanted to watch his video before naptime in his sleeping bag this day

And my silly David

Friday night Steve and I got to go on a date. We went out to dinner and then to a Griffins Hockey Game (minor league). This was my kind of hockey game. Not a lot of penalties so it didn't go really long (even though it went to overtime but it was a very exciting finish so I was okay with it :)), and not one fight. Seriously, grown men fighting is just so ridiculous if you ask me :). I did tell Steve I found it funny watching a hockey game as a mother of 3 young boys because seriously, there is so much shoving going on, I felt like I was watching my 3 boys play :).

And the most exciting part of the night, I caught one of the shirts they were throwing out in the crowd! I LOVE free stuff!!!

While mommy and daddy were on their date the boys got to go overnight to Grandpa and Grandma's. And they even got to take their sleeping bags and all sleep on the floor together! Grandpa and Grandma's is so much fun!

Since he's had this cold David has been pretty clingy to me. I see this a lot as I'm trying to get things done (like making dinner)

Saturday it was finally in the 30s, so Steve and Micah spent some time playing in the snow

They even built this "baby snowman" as Micah calls him

Steve even dug out a little fort for Micah

This boy just loves playing in the snow (he definitely does not get that from his mother :))

Jonathan thought this was a pretty good place to read (while mommy vacuumed)

These boys love reading Curious George (I think they really connect with his always getting into trouble :))

Micah was very proud of his picture he painted

They think it's so funny "sleeping" in mommy and daddy's bed

They just love the carts at the grocery store we go to after Bible study. They also love the popcorn :)

So funny story from the grocery store. I had just texted my mom these adorable pictures and had set my phone on top of my purse that was in the cart and I was by the bakery stand and my phone slid off my purse, hit the floor, amazingly didn't come apart, but instead slide under the bakery stand :). and of course, it was an easy just kneel down on the ground and grab it from underneath. Oh no, there was a hard panel on the bottom that we eventually had to get a screw driver to take off so I could get my phone. And of course as I'm on my hands and knees unscrewing the panel, there comes up a lady from my Bible study :). So my nice quick trip to the store turned into a not so quick trip.
