Date Night
Last night was originally supposed to be Justin and my date night but it ended up being a family date night instead. We had been saying it would be fun to try and take Maddox to a movie so we decided to finally try it.
Before we got to the theater we stopped for a quick bite at Jersey Mikes. LOVE that place!
Madman enjoyed his sandwich and was ready to go try the movie theater popcorn.
We were both really shocked at how well he really did. There was only about a 5 minute period where he was done and a few trips up and down the hallway managed to suffice him for the rest of the show. He did SO well! I even saw a few previews that I may consider trying another time.

Our Weekend
This weekend Justin headed out on his weekend fishing expedition so Madman and I had our weekend of fun. Friday after work we came home a little early and played in the snow. He was SO excited to get to be outside.
He dug out a spot on his jungle gym and kept doing the slide over and over again.
I showed him how to make a snow angel and he was obsessed. I am not sure if he was obsessed with the angel part or the throwing snow everywhere part.
On Saturday while Mommy went to a wedding show with a friend Maddox enjoyed some bonding with Auntie April and Cody. I think they had a good time. Nana and Papa stopped in for a nice dinner on their way back from Hawaii and it was great to see them! Maddox was spoiled (as were the rest of us) with a new outfit. (see previous post)
Today was pretty laid back, we had a fun movie filled morning and this afternoon I got caught up on some work and then did some shopping (fair is fair right?!). Daddy came back this evening and from the sounds of it, he had a great time. :) They came back one cell phone and cooler short but I suppose if that is the worst of it, it was a good weekend.

Crayon Art
I decided to make one for my office and decided to add the word "believe". I used the cricut to cut out the letters and I love the font if I do say so myself!
I just used mod podge to adhere the letters to the canvas.
I laid out the colors in the pattern that I liked
and hot glued them into place. It was easy to get them aligned but it took about 15-20 minutes total to get them lined up.
I used a hair dryer to melt the crayons and started with it on high to get them "set" so I could start melting the colors. I went left to right and let each color start to melt and then turned off the dryer to let it set. I repeated the process 3-4 times until I was happy with the splatters/pattern.
one hint: the higher the blower, the more it splatters. :)
and WAAAA-LAH! The finished product

Surprise! It's Your Birthday
Over the weekend we headed south to celebrate Grandpa Larry's 59th Birthday with a surprise birthday party. We were thrilled to spend the day hanging out with part of our family and had a great time getting ready to pull over the big surprise.

Uncle Mitch was iced by his father-in-law. It was the perfect set up.

The party was a success and he was truly surprised. We were glad to be part of the day!

Maddox
This boy.....
Anyone he sees or hears is in pain will be automatically be asked if they are ok. No matter if he knows you or not and he has no qualms about hugs just to make your day a little better. Just a few minutes ago I stubbed my toe. He came running said "you ok, mommy?" I told him I was but he rubbed my back and said it'll be ok....
Melt my heart!
He makes every effort to be a "big" boy and helps Mommy and Daddy around the house whenever he can. He LOVES letting Bear outside and has really been excited to help with so many things these days. He will even stand in the doorway and yell for B's to come in. (funny enough, Bear actually listens).
He is so polite too which I adore. He says "Please, Mommy" and "Thank You" and without coaxing. One of the cutest things he says is in response to asking him a question..... here's an example
Mommy: " Will you let Bear outside?"
Maddox:" Well...... ok."
proceeds to run to the door to let Bear outside.
The dramatic pause gets me every time! :)
Maddox. " I wanna dance!"
Mommy: "Go dance then, it sounds fun!"
Maddox: " Well...... ok."
He is into Dora a lot right now which must have come from Day Care because it was completely out of the blue. It's crazy to watch with him and listen to all that he is picking up. He answers her questions and points to things on the screen. Growing and changing, so fast!
There are so many cute things that he says and does but most of all he just makes me so proud. I am lucky to have him in my life. Best gift ever!

Gone Fishin....
Daddy left us today to spend the day on the water.... well, the frozen water. Even with unseasonable weather he and JB braved the ice (too thin for me!!) to catch a big one. Looks like he did pretty well.
He brought home some of his "keeps" and showed them off to Maddox.
Maddox was a little stand off-ish at first but warmed up to the idea....
I did my best to just stay out of the way. They creep me out! Can't wait to see what he brings back from his big expedition up north in a few weeks.
