What a week!

Jaxson once again ended up at the doctors office... ear infection this time. Even the doctor looked at us and asked, "again?" Yup! We missed him :) So for the week of his birthday he sat in the house, miserable, and I worked out ways to get what I needed done for his party while confined to the house. Cleaning no problem but grocery shopping... not happening. So I found a 24 hour store and shopped at 9pm after work one night. Not ideal but it got the job done.
By Fri he was better but still cranky.. We went to Red Robin for dinner. (he wanted a song and a balloon) and then a game of bowling at Pinstripes. He cheered up by bowling.

The day of his party was also Hayden's belt test for karate, I didn't plan that well did I? Hayden achieved his Red W/Brown stripe belt with flying colors!!! We are very very proud of him!!!
Jaxson had a great time at his birthday!

And we had a RECORD blizzard on Tuesday into Wednesday this past week. 20.2 inches!!! It was so windy it was ratteling the windows on the back of the house. We have 4 foot snow drifts all around the house and you still can't see the front porch and now today we have -6° with -20°wind chills. Which means no work or school for 2 days and 2 children who are very sick of being in this house with a now, thanks to Jax, a sick Mommy.

Looking out our front window... yes, drifts were that high!Jaxson standing on our front porch... his head is as high as the doorbell...
Hayden wading through the drifts at the end of the driveway... he's 4'6" so you can see how deep those are.


As I said it's been a week.
