The Many Adventures of Team Goulet

I had one mission over spring break...we had to get out of town for at least one day.  We headed 45 minutes away to the Decatur children's museum. It was great! We were there for about 2 hours and my kids were the right age to play on everything yet not be bored. 

i enrolled the boys in Swim lessons this spring. And let me tell you, BEST IDEA EVER. This is what I needed all winter! I have 2 very energetic boys and when they can't play outside....life gets sticky.  Activities are our answers. The boys loved it and both passed their swim levels. I look forward to enrolling then again later this year. 

We had the most beautiful 60 degree day today! We went to a friends house for lunch after church and we are lunch outside. So nice! The kids ran around for a few hours. I took the boys for a run that ended at our neighborhood park. This was our first visit to a park in 2015. The boys had a great time and were TIRED for bed.  As a highlight Elijah was found telling another child that called him "that boy", "I'm not a boy, I'm Elijah!" 

IElijah and I have a new tradition, going out to El Toro for tacos! Turns out that Elijah is as much of a Mexican food lover as I am. :) He eats chips and talks to me.  And he eats one hard shell taco.  And we both love every minute of it.

OOWe got a "surprise"  snowstorm last night. I though it was only going to be 3 inches and it was more like 9 or 10 inches!  We tried to build a snowman or a fort and the snow was not very packable. But we still had fun playing outside!  Elijah loved eating snow Nathan made a snow ruler at school last week and it measured 11 inches in our yard. Daniel got to use the snow thrower.

The boys participated in the age old tradition of Valentine's Day this week. We sat around the table and created valentines for all of their school friends. Nathan's class got to go bowling and ate pizza. Nathan got a strike!! Afterwards, Daniel took Nathan out on a lunch date.  Elijah had a class program and a party. So I took him out on a lunch date afterwards. It felt so weird to only have one child!! 

Here's whats up with Nathan lately Nathan Loves: 1. Watching youtube toy reviews.  These are like watching paint dry to me, but he just loves them.   2. Playing Super Mario Brothers.  Lately he has really started to like playing the wii and specifically Super Mario Brothers.  3. Stories without pictures.  He have read several chapter books together, our favorites were the "Zappato Power" books.  He also likes stories that we make up and tell him.  4. Switch and Go Dinos.  He has slowly been collecting these car and dino combination toys and he loves them.   Nathan Hates: 1. School.  Yep, I said it.  It has nothing to do with the school he attends 2 days a week.  He just hates being forced to listen and to learn.   Daniel picks him up from pre-kindergarten and he tells Daniel, "That was my last day of school ever."  2. Vegetables.  He hates vegetables and is beginning to catch onto my "grind ve...
