- None of us have ever been to a hockey game. I've always wanted to go to one just to see if it's as action packed as everyone describes them to be.
- My boss gave me tickets to go to one. Good seats too!
- Right before it was time to go Isaak was crying saying that his tummy hurt. He's been snotty, very snotty. I am thinking that his tummy hurting might of been because of post nasal drip. I've been trying to suck out what I can with one of those sucker bulbs, but only so much comes out. Then he snuffs much of it in.
- Anyhow, I ended up staying home with Isaak. He kept asking for Mommy.
- Daddy and Mica went to the ice hockey game.
- The biggest thing Mica talked about: How much pizza he ate! Daddy bought him pizza because he didn't have to pay for the tickets or parking.
- Mica did ask Daddy to teach him how to ice skate, and how to play hockey. I really doubt Daddy can teach him all that. ;)
- Daddy took a lot of pictures, but none of them have Mica in them.
 |
| Mica liked this hot dog blimp! |
- I washed Mica's sheets this morning. He asking me, "Mommy what should I do?" He had that board tone to his voice.
- I said, "Well Mica you could go make your bed." I was being sarcastic because I knew his sheets were in the dryer. The rest of his bedding was in a pile on his little table.
- I was helping Isaak, and Mica was in his room having quiet play time.
- I didn't know he was in his room trying to make his bed.
I walked into Mica's room, and his bed looked like this:
 |
| Practically perfect for a 5 year old. Except for no sheets. |
- He did a great job! Remember the bedding was all in a pile on his little table.
- I praised him, hugged him and told him that that he was a really good son. ;) Then told him the truth. I needed to take it all apart because I had to add the sheets on his bed. :(
Mica worked hard on this drawing this morning. He used his Buzz figure as a reference. He got a little frustrated with the lettering because he has trouble with making the letter {S}. I helped him fix the letters the best I could. I feel like he's getting so good and observant!
This is a drawing he did yesterday of a house. That is a dog in the top part.
CSN | Stores contacted me for another product review. They have so many products in their stores!
We were in need of new salt and pepper shakers. I dropped our old pepper shaker. This is what it looked like:
 |
| Broke! |
CSN | Stores had quite a few salt and pepper shakers to choose from! We decided to go with
OXO Good Grips Salt and Pepper Grinder Set that was originally $47.99, but now marked down to $39.89.
A few things about this product:
- It's rated 5 stars on CSN | Stores website. The rating is something I always look at before buying anything!
- The set comes together. I found that a lot of grinders were sold separately.
- The material is stainless steel.
- It's easy to add the salt and pepper. Maybe a little too easy. Daddy didn't realize the bottle was loose and dumped pepper all over the counter. It's our fault for not checking it after it shipped to us.
- The clear bodies allow you to see when they need to be filled back up.
Breakfast:
- I was very happy to try our new salt and pepper shakers out for one of our breakfast's.
- They really helped to make the perfect hard boiled egg!
- The result: Totally yummy!!!!!!!!
Making a Perfect Egg:
 |
| Place eggs in a steamer. This way the eggs do not sit on the bottom of the pan where it's the hottest. We find they cook more even this way. Let them work up to a boil. |
 |
| After the eggs hit a boiling point remove them off of the burner, but keep a lid on them for 15 minutes. |
 |
| A perfect hard boiled egg! |
 |
| Even more perfect with salt and pepper. |
 |
| Yummy! |
Please take some time to visit
CSN | Stores! They do have such a great selection. If you are needing a new salt and pepper grinder set, I highly recommend this
one!

- Today my boy's went to Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs' house in their pajamas.
- They didn't go there like that because we're lazy.
- Mica had Pajama Day for preschool.
- Mica's been asking about when it's going to be for two weeks.
- Isaak caught wind of it, and wanted to dress in his pajama's too.
- I brought clothing for them to change into if they need to go anywhere else.
- Later today pajama's might get a little cold. It's supposed to snow up to 3 inches by the end of the day. I'm not sure if that will happen or not. Nebraska's weather is unpredictable.
- I had an idea. It was a sudden impulse idea.
- I told Mica and Isaak that when we got home we were going to do something special for Daddy.
- I asked if they were going to help me? They were in!
- I made tons of these sticky notes. Ya, this is not exactly an environmental, tree hugging plan.
 |
| It Says "We Heart U Daddy". I made many of them! |
- Mica kept asking me where to put the sticky notes? Isaak kept needing help sticking them to things. But the boy's were super excited!
- It was like Easter watching them run around!
 |
| The sticky notes were all over the kitchen, stuck to the TV, stuck to Daddy's alarm clock, on all the doors, lets just say we put them everywhere! |
- Then Daddy got home. Mica ran to him and said, "Daddy you need to close your eye's."
- The boy's were on super speed then! They were running around sticking notes here and there. They looked like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. Ok...not so nice of an image, but you get my point.
 |
| Daddy collecting notes. |
- Mica told Daddy where most of them were. ;)
- Daddy enjoyed it!
- Mica's really getting into art lately.
- That's not all he's into. He loves to write things out. They don't always come out spelled right. I love that he tries though!
This one say's, "Happy Birthday" only it's "Hapberthd". So cute!
- Now that Isaak will watch TV, movie nights are fun! We don't let our kids watch a lot of TV, but we do have an occasional movie night.
- One thing we are not is with it when it comes to modern TV watching. We don't have cable, Blu-Ray, high definition TV and more bells and whistles.
- Go Graham Go is hosting a great giveaway!
- Orville Redenbacher is giving away a whole movie package!
- The package includes:
- A Blu-Ray Player
- $10 Snapfish Gift Certificate
- Movie Theater Candy
- 1 Free Rental From Redbox
- A Board Game
- Orville Redenbacher Pop and Win Popcorn
Potty accidents really are not a big deal to me. It happens. I just thought it was so funny that Isaak was so happy about his accident!
You can read my post about this
here.
- This morning we went to Borders to get a few books with Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs' Valentines gift cards.
- The boy's were super excited!
Mica got this book:
I like the illustrations mixed with photography! It's a Caldecott Honor book.
Isaak got these books:
Isaak likes the shape of the bus. I liked that the Spot book was on the clearance rack, and it came with 3 stories on DVD!
- Then we went to Nobbies. I had to get a few party game things for my cousins baby show next week.
- Our last trip was to Costco. Isaak kept saying, "I want bamples please!" I could not tell what he was asking me at first! He was getting frustrated with me. Finally I figured out that "Bamples" are "Samples". He kept asking for samples over and over again. A few people laughed and one lady said, "He knows about the good stuff!"
- In the car Isaak untied his shoes and said, "I tied my shoes Mommy." Little stinker! He also unraveled one of my favorite hats he has a week ago.
- Today the boy's both got an A+ while running errands. They were really good. No complaining. Isaak stayed dry.
- I didn't need to make lunch when we got home thanks to all of Costco's samples, or should I say, "Bamples"! ;)
