First Sledding Trip!

The holiday rush has really hit us! I can't believe it's already half way through November. Thanksgiving is next week. Oh man we're in trouble! I had so many projects I wanted to get done before now... But they just haven't happened.

Last week flew by! We had something scheduled almost every day of the week. The most exciting was Friday, when we closed on our refinance! We were able to get our interest rate locked in at 3.5%, which will save us a few hundred a month. I did the math (of course) and in 6 months we would have saved enough to pay for our closing costs. After that, it's all savings! So we're happy to have that done.

My boys are ready to go!

Monday for FHE we went night sledding! It snowed over the weekend, and it was so busy we didn't get to enjoy it until Monday. We knew we had to get it in before today because it's supposed to get up to 50 today. So as soon as Dave got home we scarfed down dinner and headed to the golf course down the street from us.

I think sledding is the one thing Dave's looked forward to  most about having kids. When we moved into our house there were a few items left from the previous owner, one of which was a sled. It's the only thing we didn't throw away. It's big enough for the three of us, so it's perfect for now!

Dave stuck Logan in the sled and we started walking over to the little hill they have. The snow was fresh packing snow, and there weren't any foot prints in it. Half way to the hill the sled hit one of Dave's foot prints, dumping Logan over and white washing him. It took Logan a little time to get warmed up to sledding, but I think he liked it by the end. Now that he has snow boots, we know we'll be going again.

Yesterday Logan had his 15 month checkup. He's in the 45 percentile for height and the 3rd for weight. We knew he was skinny! He has a larger vocabulary than average for his age, and the doctor agreed he's too cute. He also got his flu shot, and although we're glad that's done, it was awful!

Today we're just doing laundry, tidying up the house, and maybe going grocery shopping. Just trying to get ready for Thanksgiving next week!
