23. Cook a new meal that includes a meat other than chilcken

So, I'm not the best cook, in fact I'm not even a good cook, but I do try to make dinner every night. I make the same things over and over and they are very simple. My mom always made great dinners every night while I was growing up and now that I have kids, it's time I start cooking good meals! Last week (the date stamp on my camera was wrong for a couple weeks and I didn't know it! I didn't make this in Jan. of '08!) I cooked a pork roast, au gratin potatos and veggies! I've never made a roast of any kind before and I won't give away my secrets or talk about how easy this meal was, I'm just proud that I amde a meat other than chicken or something off the grill! It was yummy!

20. Take the boys to the Children's Museum

On President's Day, when all the kids were off school, I took the boys to the Children's Museum! It was very crowded, but SO MUCH FUN! It's such a neat place. The boys loved it! We're thinking about buying a membership because there is so much to do!

7. Play in the snow with the boys

Last Tuesday we had our first big snow of the season! It was two days of snow and ice mixed! The boys LOVED sitting in the window seat, watching the snow fall. I was so excited to take them out in it, but ended up only taking Jackson out. Poor Dylan, I know. I have a good excuse though......my plan was for the entire family, Tom included, to play in the snow. Well, Tom didn't miss a minute of work despite the road conditions and level 3 snow emergency that we ended up having (meaning no one is to drive on the roads and you could get a ticket if an officer pulls you over!) plus he worked 10 + hours those days! Anyway, he wasn't home to help me bundle both boys up and take them out. So, when Dylan went down for a nap, I got Jackson ready and we went out to play. He LOVED it! He rolled around in it, ate TONS of it and even planted his face in it. Next year, I'll be sure to take Dylan out....I think he'll enjoy it more then anyway!
