Mommy has been home with the kids for the past two days. Emma got sick on Wednesday twice and then went to sleep at 6:00 and slept 15 hours. She woke up fine the next morning. Then yesterday, Ethan was over playing with Benjamin and he got sick so Mommy got to call in again and stay home. He did the same thing only he only got sick once then went to sleep at 6:00 and is fine this morning. In fact, he learned how to do the Wii fit running game and has been playing that all morning. He runs and the faster he runs, the faster his Mii runs and he just laughs. His BMI is 13 and he is underweight, imagine that. His Wii fit age was 30 the first time because he can't sit still for the balance tests. He redid it and got 13. The kids are both napping at the moment because they got up at 6:30.
These pictures are from last weekend. Tracy got a wild hair and decided to paint her living room. She has never painted anything before so we are proud of her. She was not to happy at this point.
She didn't look to happy here either. Joey and I brought her dinner. We got to go out on a date Friday night (Thanks Ms. Peggy!) We went to Fleet Feet and bought new running shoes and then went to Dittos to eat and then to Target. We didn't even have to walk down the car aisle. Pretty cool!
This is our picture from our date.
Last night Trystan had his first guitar lesson. He really liked it. He has homework already.
We woke up this morning to find some snow on the ground, which was very exciting. Ethan actually had 2 surprises and the snow was the first one. He couldn't wait to go out in it. 
The second surprise was the new TV. Last night we went to HHGreg to "look" at a TV for the basement. Well, as you can see, we did a little more than look. We left the house at 4:30 and then finally decided to buy the TV and then had to go to LaGrange Rd. to the warehouse to pick it up and didn't get home until after 8:00 and still hadn't had dinner. We wouldn't have made it home had it not been for April and Jonathon. Thanks Guys! We got to the warehouse and of course since we had to get the biggest TV possible, it wouldn't fit in the back of our van. Jonathan has a truck. Anyhow, long story short, Mommy and Daddy were up until 1:00 am getting the TV set up. Thank goodness Mommy had the day off today. Sorry Daddy. Back to work (and the gym at 5:30am) for Mommy tomorrow!
One of the few things that Ethan and Emma both like to play together and usually do so well, Little People. Emma got this Little People Doll house for Christmas. It makes "home"sounds. It even has a potty and makes the sound of the potty flushing. We usually put Daddy on the throne.
Ethan's (and Mommy's) latest track. Side note, it is now destroyed. Benjamin came over later tonight and they always like to build a new track, which usually means that Mommy later gets to actually be the one to build the new track.
They also like to play Hot Wheels together.
When Emma laid down for her first nap, the boys and I went out into the snow for some fun. Ethan had been waiting for her to go down because I told him that I didn't want to go out until she was napping. In fact, as I was putting her down, the boys were getting layered up.
Mommy's little snow angel.
Ethan eating the snow. Trystan made sure to teach him not to eat the yellow snow, even though yellow is his favorite color!
Ethan crashed out on the couch at 12:15 am. He made it until 12:00 though so he saw New Years.
