Brrrrr..It's Too Cold!

Mommy and Preston took a "snow day" today. Actually, Mommy hasn't worked very much this week at all, which has been nice, but not for paying the bills! Preston was not in a very good mood today- he has a cold and yucky stuff coming from his eyes, and I think he may be getting some more molars- ouch! We watched Sesame Street and did a lot of snuggling today. Not sure what tomorrow will bring- I see some schools have already been cancelled and it is supposed to be bitterly cold.
Mommy and Daddy enjoyed spending time together while Preston stayed with Gma Diane and Gpa Kyle in Greene. We got to hang out with Jared and Lisa on a week night to watch the Nebraska game and go out to eat on New Year's Eve (although, like old people, we went to Texas Road House at 4pm to beat the crowds :) Then, we just watched movies all night, and it was a great feeling just laying on the couch, not having to get up for anything. I thought I would be more upset to be away from Preston for a couple days, but I think every parent needs a break sometimes, and I enjoyed myself! Mommy then traveled to Greene on New Years Day to spend the weekend with the family and bring Preston home.
Silly Aunt Paige
Aunt Paige, Aunt Molly, and Mommy went to the movie, Avatar, on Saturday night. Mommy really didn't want to go to that particular movie, but ended up liking it. It was even fun to wear the 3D glasses. But, oh boy was it cold when we came out of the theater, -12 degrees! It is almost too much for Aunt Paige, who is used to the warm temps in Costa Rica and Texas.
Preston sporting his Iowa Hawkeye gear for the bowl game
We went over to Lane and Rachel's on Tuesday night to watch Iowa kick butt against Georgia Tech. Kamden and Preston actually played very well together. Kamden introduced Preston to crayons and stickers- so fun.
Such cheesers!
It was a miracle we got 2 pictures of them both smiling and looking! Silly boys!
Daddy and Mommy found this Cookie Monster at Menards yesterday for 1/2 off. We weren't planning on giving it to him just yet, but Mommy forgot to hide it and he found it.
Giving Cookie some love
