My kids are way better at getting up in the morning than I ever remember myself to be. Even Natalie, gets up with a smile on her face at 6:30 am. Charlotte usually is a little silly, wants to read her book in bed and then get going. When I think "they can do better than I did" they really do walk the walk. I dunno. I may have jinxed myself The mood swings and the tantrums are all so unremarkable and just a fraction of the overall goodness that comes with being mama to Natalie and Charlotte. Sometimes I do need to remind Natalie where others are in relation to her body, or huge hugs, or attempts to jump up into someone's arms or lap, but again...goodness and love is in her soul.
We went to "fill the bowl" for our first Badger women's hockey game. It was so fun. And the attendance did fill the bowl and broke a NCAA record so that was nice too. Natalie screamed-cheered and when we first arrived, Charlotte just stared in awe of the ice. The Badgers beat the Golden Gophers 3-1, with one "mid ice" shot being called back. I don't understand the rules but Natalie wasn't too pleased. She's a good lil Badger. Charlotte was a little miffed that the Badgers didn't score >/= 5 points so she could get her free Culvers ice cream. We are so lucky to live in a city where opportunity is endless for family activites. I want to get involved in more than just Natalie's school functions...we need to think NCAA as well.
Uncle Tim and Auntie Shannon came down yesterday and we had brunch at the Great Dane. We ate way too much. Shannon looks so incredibly cute but uncomfortable. Baby watch=two months and three showers from now! Cannot wait to meet the new lil Wessing. They are going to be great parents! Love them.
Snowapaloza is starting right now. When all is said and done, we could have 20 inches! I think there may well be a snow day or two this week.
