Today was just that. . . a PJ day. After being on the go all weekend and with the weather cold and snowy today, I decided that there was no need to get out of our pajamas, even to shovel the driveway. This was my weekend off so of course we had to pack it full with no time to waste. On Friday, we had the Case Haubs over for some pizza. We are used to seeing them everyday in the summer time, so when winter hits, I think we experience withdrawal. Jack and Jaxson had a blast together, especially when the adults chased them around inside the choo choo tent. We left for Hubbard on Saturday morning to do Extreme Makeover on the farmhouse that I grew up in. My brother moved in a few years ago when my dad and Brenda bought a house in town, so since then it has become the typical bachelor pad. We stayed busy all day on Saturday and Sunday painting the kitchen, dining room, living room, playroom, and bathroom. We didn’t get everything quite done so I am going to wait to post the before and after pictures, but I will say that it looks great. On Saturday evening we had supper at my mom’s house with my grandma, Wendy, and my great uncle and his daughter that came from Minnesota. It was great seeing them and we had a good time playing a game called Shut the Box. While we were busy out at Brandon’s both days, Jaxson stayed with my dad and Brenda. I think the highlight of his weekend was going on his first tractor ride with Papa. My dad got the big tractor and the winrower (?sp) out to snowblow Brandon’s driveway. Jaxson sat up on the little seat behind my dad. This sure brought back memories for me when I used to ride with my dad for hours at a time while he was in the field. My dad even let Jaxson steer it, so of course he thought that he was pretty cool stuff. Here’s some pics from our busy weekend. . .
