Post-Christmas Fun

The girls and I tried to make the most of our Christmas

vacation with some fun activities.  We finally got to see

Tangled which the girls were dying to see, spent a couple

days at an indoor amusement park and hit good

'ol Chuck E. Cheese to name a few. 

Here's some pics from the week...

What's wrong with this picture? 

Here's a hint (and some telephoto). 

Yep, that's right...that's MY BABY dangling from the ceiling by a rope!!!! 

This does not do good things to a mother's heart. 

Neither does this. 

Against my better judgement, the girl was doing this thing. 

...and she did! 

Thankfully she has ONE brave parent to accompany her since she was too little to go alone. 

I can not believe what you just did, you little stinker! 

Brenin gave it a shot too and made it across the first plank, a MAJOR step for her since she's got her mama's love of solid ground. 

Daddy love. 

Lazer tag!  (FYI:  I WON...don't mess with the mama bear!) 

Climbing wall! 

There, now isn't this much more fun than dangling from the rooftop?? 

Never saw an indoor ferris wheel until this place popped up.  When you live in Wisconsin, you have to made due with what you have!  :-) 

My Chuck E. Cheese beauty!

My sister celebrated her birthday for the SECOND year in a row at Chuck E. Cheese (is she a mama or what?!?)!  We're planning a more civilized celebration when we can leave the littles at home with the papas.  Happy birthday  week  month, Kristin! 

All this running and celebrating and fun-having has left my babes P-A-R-T-I-E-D  O-U-T!!  As the meltdowns grew more and more frequent, I knew it was a good thing the season was drawing to an end and rest was on its way.  We're taking the week off of school to recoup and "just be."  Brenin already has plans to visit her all time favorite place tonight, the library, to load up on "a big huge pile of books" to spend the rest of her week with.
