it was really cold (highs below zero) this week so we didn't do a whole lot. mom came down Wednesday morning and stayed until Friday. I was able to get baby's room much more set up, rearranged it a bit to fit better, mom brought the bassinet down from maren, Al hung up the 3 shelves and brought the nursing chair up from downstairs. I got out the boppy, some blankets, sheets, my pump, etc. so I feel much more prepared for her. I was also able to get through more of trevor's stored clothes and separate them into piles to sell and keep; i'm hoping to have lots prepped for consignment and garage sale before baby comes.
on Thursday mom and I did her 1500 piece Christmas puzzle that we love all in one day; we started it at naptime and finished it just before 10pm. we also got outside to shovel the driveway and play a bit even though it was cold.
Friday mid morning mom in her car and T and I in our car headed to mom's house. the roads had been slippery for a few days due to the cold, some little snow and black ice but our roads were good. once to mom's it snowed a little more making for slippery roads again. Al got called in early almost every day this week due to the road conditions and tyler had to go in and plow or help salt, too. so we just stayed in Friday night.
then Saturday morning I packed up our car and mom drove her car over to joann fabrics quick to pick out yarn for baby girl projects and then to river falls for auntie polly's mom marlene's funeral. besides a few family functions that i'd met marlene at, I house sat for her and zeke multiple times while I was in school in river falls. she had an infectious smile and was a great woman. trevor did great during the funeral, just played puzzles on my phone. then we went to lunch with mom, auntie judie, auntie Sheryl, and uncle wayne in RF before heading back to eau Claire. Trevor fell asleep just before we got home and slept more in his bed. Al got home at 8 pm and it was his Friday! so he had new years eve and new years day off!
sunday was new year's eve; we just hung out at home and played. Al and I watched football during nap time (T didn't fall asleep til after 330). we woke trevor up at 420, packed up and went over to matt and Jodi's house to do our present exchange with them quick before the new year's party there at 5. it was a fun party with lots of kids! matt, Jodi, cam, chloe, Al, me, trevor, jake Kassie, kade, Kinsley, Jenny, kali, kourtlyn, baby klare, leah, jedd, Cameron, Elliot, elise, cole, Melissa, kingsley, thaeden and Wesley. the kids had lots of fun playing and running around, we had lots of good food, lots of laughs and the adults did get in one game of 99 (I lost bad again). we did a countdown at 9pm for the kids where they got poppers and had necklaces and hats. we were home just after 1030, put trevor to bed and I followed shortly after.
