first off, totally excited for dave and jen
not as excited as they are i'm sure, but pretty dang excited!

lets start with friday
tom took the day off so he stayed with hayley while i took jonas to school, and while i went to a parents meeting. nothing really interesting to report there haha. jo and i headed to walmart to pick up a few 'supplies' before they were all gone, we had afternoon plans so i wasn't going to go grocery shopping till that evening, and i was sure, milk and bread would be gone by then, cuz you know, the sky was going to fall that night. after picking him up a happy meal we came home and left to go to an animal shelter, where we got..
COLT!

he is a 6 month old chocolate lab/aussie mix
his first night he didn't leave his bed at all.
its now monday, and he still hasn't ventured past the dinning room table
he's a sweetie, good with the kids, playful, (once he is outside), and hasn't messed with the cats, who thankfully couldn't careless that he is here
friday night of course, you would have thought the world was coming to an end
tom went to a local high school to hear a lecture from, chris mcdougall, barefoot running activist.
tom got to met him and got his copy of "Born to Run" signed.
yes tom does run "barefoot", barefoot in quote because he does wear these and has for about a year.
seriously, they are the most comfortable shoes ever. i don't like shoes, (ok i lie i LOVE shoes as a fashion accessory), i don't wear shoes in the house, and weather permitting, i tend to wear flops. my feet never feel right in shoes. anyways..
Saturday aka, the day the earth stood still
really folks, its just snow
i grew up in the midwest and lived in iceland, this is nothing. i understand that people here 'aren't used to it' and can't drive it it. but no one can drive on ice without chains or snow tires or spikes. so just stay home and off the roads. we don't need dummies that "aren't used to" snow driving in it and causing accidents, of which we had plenty.
jonas had a blast in the snow. hayley, i'm sure she remembered her faceplant in ohio and wouldn't walk in it or leave the sidewalk. colt loved it

Sunday:
Jonas went sledding with a the neighbor kids
he loves sledding, last years snow 'storm' he used our old body board, and all the kids at boxed and lids and stuff, this year kids at actual sleds. haha. jonas started out on a sled, but its really too fast for him, so he switched to a rubbermaid lid



Today, we took advantage of daddy's delay and got breakfast at starbucks
when we got home i let jonas sled a for a little bit. i figured the snow isn't going to last long so we grabbed a rubbermaid lid and i let him go at it for almost an hour. he took hayley down once.
she is not a fan of sledding.

we didn't do much else till right before tom came home. jonas wanted to wait for him outside so we did.

hayley and colt (and jonas of course!) were very happy that daddy was home.
