Finn's New Room

Pep talk in the Penguin locker room

After a full day at the rink with one game and two practices among the three big boys, they came home and played street hockey in the driveway on a very rare mid 50 degree day in MN.

Quite a crew right there

Finn's new Big Boy Bed!!!

"oh mom, I really love it"

We had a big weekend of hockey, some nice weather, and a milestone for Finn.  In the eight years that we have lived here, I cannot recall a day in February without snow.  Until now, that is.  We hit a record breaking high of around 55 degrees over the weekend.  It was beautiful.  Sunny, warm (or at least felt warm since we are typically 50 degrees colder!), and beautiful.  We played outside all afternoon when we finished hockey for the day.  It was fun to get the bikes, scooters, and other outdoor toys out again.  Of course, this week its back to normal with temps in the teens and 20's, but hopefully spring isn't too far away.

As I mentioned last week, Finn has been asking about moving to a big boy bed.  We received Finn's crib from his godparents (same crib their son used) and the crib has had a few issues recently so it was time to move on to a bed.  Finn was so excited to put up his big boy bed.  He has been talking about his "new room" for a week now.  We inherited the cool bunkbeds from Mimi over the summer and I ordered a new quilt for Finn's beds last week.  Our plan is to paint the room at some point in the near future, but we have lots of painting to do in the new house so we will add his room to the list!  Thus far, Finn has done well with the transition to his new bed.  He has been sleeping in his new bed without any issues and waited for us to go get him the next morning.  Let the potty training begin....but not until summer!
