This December we were blessed to get to spend an entire week away from the craziness of life and go hide up in the mountains by Winter Park! We enjoyed sitting by the fire, watching movies, drinking hot chocolate, laughing at the boys, sleeping, sledding, and going on a sleigh ride and walking in the snow. It was a great week of not working or school for Tim, and I LOVED having Tim around 24/7. And wouldn't you know it, we also forgot our camera!
We stayed in a two-bedroom condo for the week and were fortunate to get away with only a cracked lamp shade and a few puke stains (which we really tried to get out) but more notable was some of Wyatt's classic antics.
He did a great job overall sleeping in his own room with two twin beds most of the week. One nap, he was pulling the usual pranks of trying to jump in bed and then jump to either me or Tim, and was finally getting settled so we left in usual fashion of jamming a cloth into the door in order to keep him from "breaking out", and Tim and I went about settling in by the fire to hang out. Now, mind you, we are used to several minutes of the "ambient" sounds of Wyatt but we started to hear a little more rucus than usual. Then a loud CRASH! As Tim and I bolted thru the door we were stopped by the sight of little Wyatt tucked safely in the second drawer of the little dresser across from his bed with head down, and hands over his ears as if someone just screamed "fire in the hole!" The "fire" in the hole was the enormous hotel-esque lamp he had just pulled from it's lofty perch only to crash onto the floor tearing the CFL bulb out and apart and cracking the lamp shade's plastic shell lining. No one was hurt, but thankfully he sufficiently scared himself away from lamps the whole rest of our stay and the lamp went back together like Legos, save a few shardes of hard plastic shade lining.
The thing that gets me is how did he get into the dresser drawer and know to take cover like that?! I wish you all could've seen it for yourselves because Tim and i had a really good laugh about our little "Foxhole Norman".
Other notables from the week:
-Wyatt's first time playing in REAL snow! He got an early Christmas present from Marmie and Papa (Thompson's) which he's been calling his "snow boat" since riding in it while Daddy pulls him.
-Vrai's first vacation! He did great and relaxed with the best of us!
-It was my first time sleeping in a Sleep Number bed...I still don't get what all the fuss is about :)
-We went on an awesome Sleigh ride and drank hot chocolate and sat by a fire with a two horse open sleigh- Hay!
We had a great time, THANKS to Tim's mom for the generosity in sharing the time-share!
