Staying warm

So it's just another day here in the Palmer household. It's not as "frigid" out as it was this past weekend, but it's still chilly. We reached the upper 50s on Tuesday. So that was a great feeling. Didn't wear a jacket when we went out to do some shopping, which would be really unusual if we were back in NW Iowa. My mother has said it's been below zero for quite some time, but I do think they are starting to warm up too, just nothing too dramatic.

It's really been a laid back week so far here. Chuck is on his 3rd day in a row off of work. He goes back tomorrow. On Tuesday and Wednesday night we headed over to his dad's house for dinner and games. We bought UNO Attack on Tuesday before heading over for dinner. We've decided that it is a pretty exciting game and can last a really and I mean really really long time if you have about 6 or 7 players! It turned out to be so much of an exciting night last night that we didn't get home until 11:30pm!!! What a late night. Allison stayed up the whole time...passing up her 9:30pm bedtime, but as soon as she was buckled into her carseat and in the truck, she was fast asleep. We are so happy to know that just a quick car ride for a few blocks can knock her out, haha.

We have really enjoyed doing game nights with the family. As it is very cheap, unless you go out and buy a new game everytime you have a game night. Plus we usually get a good meal out of it too!!! This also gives us the chance to relax a little and pass Lil Allison around for some fun time with the grandparents and her Aunts and Uncle.

Well, like I said not too much else going on. The snow is pretty much gone, the birds are eating birdseed from our feeders like they've been starving all winter, and we are craving a lil Chick-Fil-A (did i do that right). SO for the rest of afternoon, we are headed out for some fast food and to Target to do some quick grocery shopping, then it's back into our lil hermitcrab shell of a house to stay warm. Hope you are all doing the same!!!
