My Extra Positve Post

January, to me should be renamed to: Blah (way to be positive Kell)
January/February are the Months I just feel like doing nothing (more positivity flowing from me).
So I'll give a bullet list of things we've been up to.

*Kangaroo Zoo (a couple of times-the kids needed to burn energy)
*Going for walks when the sun comes out (we need some Vitamin D)
*Watching Greenbay win the Steelers with friends = AWESOME!!
*Having a friend motivate me to get into food storage (I bought 50 lbs. of WHEAT people!) & 25 lbs. of SALT- I won't be needing salt for the rest of my life.
*Trying new recipes for dinner, including making bread.
*Starting a dinner exchange with a friend (I make dinner for her family one night a week, and she makes dinner for my family one night a week--so far I'm loving it!)
*Ben and I have gone on some dates (yay for dates!), for example:
-New Restaurants like the BBQ place that is nationally recognized Q4U
-Barnes & Noble (we love to sit and read together-where it's quiet)
-Starbucks (for hot cocoa/steamed milk)
-Target for "our" game.
-Nothing Bundt Cakes for my favorite little cakes.
*Signed the boys up for baseball-They're excited!
*Fun play dates with cousins
*Went to the Cannery for the first time
*Ryan is doing really well in school. He loves it!
*Trying to pass time until the weather gets warmer...UGH!



Ethan loves to help.
Here he is doing the laundry "all by myself Mom".

Took Summer to breakfast for her birthday.
Mimi's Cafe - We had a great time

Our lovely food...yeah, we ate it all!



Ethan fell asleep watching Spongebob while I was in the shower.

The boys are pretending they're camping. They pitched a tent and are roasting marshmallows by the fire. I love how creative kids are!!

That's a more fun January than we had!!! It's really sad when I can go a whole month without blogging one thing!! I loved seeing the pictures of Ethan doing the laundry!! Good to let them do it while they think it is "fun"!!:)

I forgot to say I love the idea of taking turns making dinner with a friend!! I have heard of so many people doing that lately. I am just scared they wouldn't like what I made, my kids are picky enough:)

I love the picture of your boys camping. How cute is that. Kids do have great imaginations.
I think that you have done more in January than us too. I am sick of winter!

January seems to be such a "blah" month, but it looks like you take advantage and still do fun things. :)

At least the sun is finally out! I okay with the cold, but the inversion sucks the soul out me!
