Kangaroo Zoo

Today I had the day off so we went to Kangaroo Zoo. Luke and Callie loved it! They are such busy bodies and it's hard to entertain them at home. Callie was super brave and would go down the big slides by herself. Surprisingly, Luke wanted me to be with him on the big slides. He loved them as long as I was with him. Usually he is so independent and doesn't want my help. Helping a toddler climb up a bouncy slide is a workout! We were all tired when we left. They fell right asleep!!!

So Tired

The other day Luke and Callie wanted to watch a movie on my bed. I started Despicable Me for them, but they were just too tired. Their favorite place to watch TV or movies is on my bed, but one or both of them generally get tired and fall asleep.

Up, Up, and Away!

We got a little spoiled with the weather this week. It almost felt like Spring was here. That will just make the next snow storm that much more depressing. Since it was so nice we decided to go to the park and fly Luke's Buzz kite! The wind was perfect and it was a lot of fun. Callie held the string great, but Luke thought it was funny to let the string unwind and see how high Buzz could go. So silly!

Hair Cut

Luke always gets his hair cut by Papa. It is quite an adventure every time. This time we let his hair grow way too long. Poor Luke was freaking out about having hair all over him. We had to keep stopping to rinse the hair off of him. Thank heavens for Papa!

Valentine's Day

It looks like Luke spent all of Valentine's Day in his pajamas! We had a Valentine's breakfast at our house on Sunday. Luke got some new Thomas the Tank pajamas which he had been wanting. He insisted on wearing them to Grammie and Papa's house the next night. Since Mark had to work Luke and I went to my parents' for dinner. My mom always makes stroganoff because that's what she made for my dad while they were dating. My parents gave Luke a Buzz Lightyear kite. It frustrated him more than anything. He couldn't understand what it was supposed to do. Even after we opened it he kept crying and asking us to open it. I am sure he will love it on a windy day!

Jazz Game

Mark and I were lucky enough to go to the Jazz game a few weeks ago. We were able to go down on the court before the game and receive the game ball signed by all the players. It was fun night and pretty amazing to see all the players up close!

Chinese New Year

This weekend my mom had a Chinese New Year party! Any excuse to get together and get Mandarin take-out is a great idea. It was a fun night. Thanks mom!
