I saw a meme last night that is absolutely perfect for the frigid temps we’ve had last week...”Whoever made Elsa mad, we need you to apologize!” It’s been a bit...cold lately...lots of days where the temps never rose above 0 degrees. The only positive thing about cold temps like this is that we don’t have the snowy mess that makes the commute so horrible. At least we haven’t been pummeled with snow like the entire eastern snowboard..including snow in states that haven’t seen snow in decades!
In any case, it’s now January, the days are getting longer, and right now it’s 18 degrees...it’s a heat wave! We rang in the new year in central Minnesota, with our dear friends...we played games, ate, drank, and had a great time catching up. G threw in the towel around 10pm, but Ava insisted staying up until past midnight. The kids weren’t toooo cranky the next day, but I do think we all slept pretty well the next night.
And then...we’re back to the normal routine...work, school, daycare. We’re hitting the potty training hard with G now. His daycare is also working with him, and yesterday, he only had a few small accidents at home. It would be amazing if this could be all done within the next few weeks...I’m tired of talking about poop every day!
Ava participated in the all-school geography bee this week. She wasn’t the final winner, but we are very proud that she’s made it to the finals! I think I even learned some info while she was prepping to participate. Continuing education benefits us all!
The other night Ava came home and asked to participate in a winter dance clinic, sponsored by the Rosemount High School dance team. The clinic is on an upcoming day in January where I'm off of work, and she doesn't have school, so she’ll be at home with me. So, she’s going to spend a few hours learning a dance routine, having a pizza dinner with the team, and then she’ll perform at the RHS varsity girls basketball game with the group. Fun! She’s never danced before, so I hope she’s enjoys it.
Can’t believe that I have to work a full five days next week...haven’t done that in over a month! It makes me appreciate these weekend days even more. Time to get going for the day. Happy Sunday!

We went out for dinner last night, and I got a very yummy Holiday Mule. G kept asking if there were cherries in my drink...he would have been very sad once he realized they were tart cranberries!
Mustache Man!
