Merry Christmas!

Last night we opted to eat the traditional Sloppy Joe for dinner then we went and looked at Christmas lights.  I had been hearing from my kiddos at school that they were able to look at lights that went along with music, so, I googled it and we went and watched the Olson's Christmas light show.  It was pretty neat! They did a great job on it and were even greeting each car with warm wishes and candy cames =) LOVE IT!

Here is the front of our condo....

The back of our condo.....

We ended our evening with popcorn and a movie....Grownups to be exact, and Chad is downstairs now watching it for a third time~

 Here is a short video clip from last night at the Olson's house =)

This morning, Chad cooked breakfast =) all the Zantac in the world couldn't save me from this but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it.

Chad invited over a coworker whose family couldn't be here for the holidays so he is spending the afternoon with us!  We have ham cooking and all the fixings to make a yummy meal!  I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a GREAT DAY!

Remembering Nora

It's been almost a year now.....

Tis the season for Christmas lights!

A few weekends ago Chad and I drove through the Oak Park lights exhibit.  It was pretty neat....We mainly went because NW Tire had an exhibit...

Anyhow, here are some of our favorites...and employers =)

NW Tire

 

Minot Public Schools

There were tons of lights with motion, but this one was the only one I videoed!

baking...cleaning....fixing....

Well my weekend was spent doing nothing involving school (SHOCKER!) but baking up a storm.  I made Sarah's famous sugar cookies on Saturday and frosted them on Sunday and I also made some banana bread. 

Chad spent part of his weekend doing inventory and the other part doing dishes{again, he waited a few days so it's his own fault for having so many dishes to do} and cleaning the bathroom {it was that or the kitchen, he chose the bathroom}.  He also fixed the bed, finally.....

Sadie spent the weekend getting into trouble.........

Spoke to soon!

Snow Shmo, yah right.  I spoke way to soon!  It started snowing here around 12:30 or so and has only gotten heavier since.  Way to go and jinx it Brittney! gosh.

Anyhow!  Here is my accomplishment for the week:

I finally got my map up on the bulletin board for our card swap...I have 11 states to color in so far, and 9 more cards sitting on my desk to be opened on Monday, so a grand total of 20 states come Monday night =)

Chad's accomplishment this week:

Playing games because he caught something I brought home =) {It's his own fault, he uses my chapstick and drinks my drinks}  He however did pick the house up and do the dishes the day he was home.  He also made cookies this week too......

We ventured to Walmart tonight for milk and bread and tomorrow will venture to a few furniture stores to see what kind of a deal we can get on a couch {dumb dog}. Not much else planned for the weekend except to get my stuff ready for the week (it's going to be a fun filled week! We are always doing SOMETHING in my room, Wednesday is GRINCH day =) and Friday is a FULL day of Polar Express activities, watch out!

Have a great weekend! 

Snow, shmo!

Hope you are getting around in the snow!  I know we are!  

Chad put up the Christmas lights last night in the WIND!  what a crazy!  I'll post pictures soon, he even decided to put up the blow up snowman! 

Chad's been busy at work and so have I!  I have a little surprise for him Thursday night however, so that should be fun!  A night of neither of us thinking about work, SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!  I even finished my assignments for my online class early so that I didn't have to work on them that night! Woop! Woop!

Have a great week!

Conferences & Vegas

We've been super busy over here! Chad was in Vegas all last week and I was preparing for PT conferences (which I'll finish up tomorrow night!). We've been busy busy so as soon as conferences are over, I'll edit Chad's Vegas pictures and share some with you!
