Indoor playground time!

During the last couple weekends, we've had a great time. We have taken the kids to indoor playgrounds quite a bit to burn off some energy. We met Eric's friends and their wives at a new one. It was awesome! It had basically an outdoor playground just inside, a giant pillow bouncy ( the hit of the day), 2 gyms, a video game projector broadcasted to the floor with software games ( Levi was a huge fan! ) and a room for building with giant foam blocks! Wow did they have a great time. Eric and Levi had a bought of the flu just after but are feeling better now. Eric loved seeing his friends. It was nice no one had to host everyone. Good group of kids too. What boys say to scare girls though...but Kaylee was used to it with her brother, kids want to tell a juicy story. Best highlight for me, Kaylee bouncing on the pillow with dad making her bounce higher, "this is the BEST day of my Life!" Apparently Eric heard several other kids there pronounce the same thing!

The other times I met girlfriends of mine and their kids. Of course Kaylee was happier when the kid was a girl and Levi was happier when the kid was a boy to pal around with. This sun, my dad met me there so that we could have the opportunity to have the kids swim. They had such a blast and my dad was a huge help! The kids loved the kiddie slide and the big floaty lillypads to climb and slide on, and Levi met a boy to play some water basketball, toss with. So cute to see them so excited! 

Yesterday Kay went to daycare since they didn't have school. They went sledding and had a great time. Oh and she was happy to get a peice of candy...always with the candy! Kaylee:"mom did you know my favorite food is candy?" Why, yes!

Ps Grandmas doing well,back home after transitional care. She didn't want us to visit since we'd recently had the flu. ( understand!)

Post holiday fun

Smiths were here, we had a great time! Was great to see my nephew too! We were able to take the kids to a fun indoor playground and swimming, to an light holiday show, to a fun family celebration at Eric's aunts where we saw his cousins ( and his cute lil second cousins), Eric's parents treated us to a nice meal out for us all and also babysat for us,  we took the kids to chuck e cheese and to the sledding hill by our house. Great fun,so glad they could make it and glad they left before outer polar vortex weather( -24 today with a windchill that is -45).

We went for New Year's Eve at Eric's friends new house. And Kaylee and Levi did their first noncousin sleep over. We figure hey both parents are here what could go wrong. We parents also had fun. They all got along great even our two with each other!

Today kids had no school and no daycare. We did play doh, dance party, just dance, played hide and seek, watched a movie and had popcorn, and I left midday to work and they were playing hot lava. I think they're having fun!  Get to have another half day with them tomorrow.

So far so good on my grandmas surgery. Hope I'll be able to visit in a couple days. Dad said things went as expected so far...

Before that we had our 12 anniversary. Mom and dad watched the kids and took them to frozen and to panera. We went to big mall shopping and for a nice meal.. Enjoyed ourselves!

My cousin had a nice shindig out at her place yesterday. Nice turkey dinner with all the works, kids played with her cute lil guy. Got to see my nephew Gabe! He's almost sitting up now, he's super cute! Got to spend some time with grandma before her surgery.
