Christmas/New Years!

When I have off on Wednesdays, I like to take Conrad to the coffee shop nearby for a special treat (for both of us). It was an old school house and it's such a cozy spot with delicious bakery treats.

During the month of December, the boys' bathroom got remodeled! Conrads room shares a wall with the bathroom, and he somehow napped through all the noise, thank god! Conrad has been observing the contractor as he used his tools to "fix" the sink.




Pics from school! It's not too often we get pictures of Branko with some of his classmates.


Almost done!!




Some warm December days calls for going to the zoo.

Twas the night before Christmas..





Santa came and put the presents under the tree and Branko made some delicious sugar cookies for him.

We opened presents on Christmas Eve since we had no family plans. It was a magical day where we had no schedule and could just hang out at home and play with our new toys.

Mid present break for cookies and milk. We also were baking a breakfast casserole and mimosas for mom and dad!




No pants necessary.


Time for some Christmas movies. This lasted for maybe a minute.
It was a mild day, so we went and played at the park. It was a bit wet, but Pat remembered to bring a towel and dry off the slides.


Back at home, we dressed in our new super hero capes.

Since Branko first saw these capes, he is always Hulk, Conrad is captain America, Patrick is Batman, and I'm spiderman. He's grown a big obsession with the Hulk and superheros.

This particular gift is a small projector you can hook up to your phone and read stories on the wall. Branko hasn't been enjoying reading books before bed because it signals that it's time for bed, so this makes it a little more fun for the boys. It came with 4 books, like "Brown Bear".

Branko also got some "stepping stones" to play the floor is lava

Here we are on Chirstmas day at Patrick's moms house. Conrad was looking very stylish.


Branko got A LOT of gifts from Bacca. It took nearly the whole day for him to open up everything. He has been into Paw Patrol, so he got lots of Paw Patrol themed gifts!
Conrad now has his own chair like his big bro

After opening up all of those gifts, it was time to nap.



Back at home, playing with our new toys











The boys sure do love their new bathroom!











We had some company over to ring in the new year!




If you notice the rainbow bags on the fireplace, I put different little toys like light up watches/tattoos in the bags and each hour the kids got to pick a bag and see what was inside and play with their new toys.

Cheers!


Big cake pop fan.
Meanwhile, Conrad rang  in the new year at Grandma and Grandpas house.


They sure missed each other

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air!

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...

Disney World and baby #3!!

Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...
