Our Weekend

Friday night Joe and I wore matching pajamas!

Amelia and I wore these same ones back in 2010.  They were a little big on him but by next year they will be too small so we just went with it :)

Saturday morning I went into work (on my day off) so we could get going on next week's work.  With having Christmas Day off there was some wiggle room with our hours so we used that as an opportunity to get ahead.  We have a very busy couple of weeks ahead of us getting the store back to normal after Christmas.  I really didn't want to go in, however, I am on a team.  If they are going in, I am going in.  That's just how it works - we're a team.  

Saturday outfit - I don't think she'll be winning any fashion awards!

Saturday afternoon I went and saw Breaking Dawn part 2 with my mom and sister - finally!  I enjoyed it and they enjoyed it much more the second time around they said.  I got home just in time to say goodnight to Joe who was finishing off the last of the frozen breastmilk.

For some reason we have had four bags in the freezer forever.  I just couldn't part with them for some reason!  We put in a bulk order with a butcher in my parent's town and I picked it up Saturday which meant we needed to organize the chest freezer.  Jason said we were using them or throwing them - so we used them.  

Daddy and Amelia doing the robot before bed :)

Saturday night we stayed up way too late watching movies with our friend, Leigh!  We haven't had a movie night in a few weeks so were overdue.  We ordered pizza even!

Today we've had a rough, crabby day.  The morning was tough and that set the mood for the rest of the day and we've had a hard time coming out of it.  Tempers have been short and patience has worn thin.  I can't wait for a fresh start tomorrow!

We watched football most of the day.  Both of our teams won!

Both games were very, very close which made them fun to watch - but a little nerve-wracking at times!  As a result of the wins today, Jason's team (MN Vikings) is headed to the playoffs!  I am a little sad that them going means the Bears are not but it's really ok!  I just couldn't bring myself to cheer on the Packers today as they played the Vikings - I'd rather the Vikings (or anyone...) beat the Packers, even if it pushes my team out of the playoffs :)

Joe and I had some fun practicing with HI and BYE this evening.

They are his only two words so far and he is starting to use them all the time.  When anyone comes and goes from a room, Joe tells them hi or bye.  If he walks away from you he will tell you bye.  It's so cute!

Time to get Amelia to bed and hit the sack myself!

Football Date

This afternoon Jason and I had a date to the Vikings/Bears game!  He received tickets from his sister for his birthday a few months back and today was the day!  Oh, today was also the day that winter decided to show up - just our luck!  It snowed for about twenty hours straight today.  Twenty!  It's just now letting up.  We went from no snow to about a foot in a single day - crazy!

We paid a small fortune to park at a neighboring ramp because we were late (we missed kick-off) and it was snowing pretty steadily only to end up on the roof of the structure, ha!

We had a fun time!  The section we were in was probably about 85% Bears fans which made it fun!  At times the entire stadium was chanting "let's go Bears!" and our neighbor told us you could hear it on television - it was that loud!  The entire row in front of us was a family and Jason found a Viking friend amongst them to cheer with!  In the end the Vikings won and we spent a couple hours driving the ~45 miles home.

We are under a winter storm warning and I am a bit nervous for the drive into work in the morning.  They said that once the snow stopped the winds would pick up pushing some areas into blizzard-like conditions as the snow blows around.  Oh, the joys of winter in Wisconsin!

Go Bears!

The Bears are playing the Packers tonight and we can't watch!!!  We do not receive the channel with the basic cable package we have :(  I thought for sure it would be on since we are in Wisconsin and their rivalry is one of the oldest in football but I was wrong!

It's currently the second quarter and the Packers are winning, 10-0.  I have toyed with the idea of streaming the game live at nfl.com but will actually probably just head to bed!  I could use the sleep...

Go Bears!

Paper Wave

At the Vikings/Bills pre-season game last night we witnessed what might have been the world's best "wave!"  It started and then it grew.  Both decks of the stadium were participating.  Then programs were being thrown like graduation caps are thrown.  Then people started tearing the programs into "confetti" and that was being thrown.  

It was nuts and it went on about 20 minutes!  We didn't partake in throwing paper as we did not feel right about it - those poor janitors.  Despite the mess it was pretty neat to witness first-hand.

Happy Saturday!
