We had our (sort of) typical Monday morning with school at home.

I love slower mornings where we just get to be together. It was not just a typical day because Cory is helping on the production floor and has to leave by 6:15 in the morning. Also my parents dogs came to hang out with us.

My Dad had surgery on his shoulder and they weren’t sure how long they would be gone. I asked to have a playdate with their doodles so it was one less thing my mom had to worry about. We loved having their sweet little faces with us. Humphry loves having his buddies here with him.

Cannon and Emerald loved taking them for a walk even though it was really cold today.

I was very happy when my Dad was done with his surgery and even got to go home! The doodles went home and we went out to a playground in the late afternoon.

We then grabbed Cory from work and went to Christy Sports to pick up our season rentals.

We decided to go with rentals for our boots and skis this season because we are just figuring this all out and the kids will grow out of the gear every year. A great perk of renting from Christy Sports is that we can exchange the gear anytime during the season. So if the kids have a growth spurt in the next five months we can go in and exchange for a bigger size.

I think Emmy’s little skis are the cutest things ever. Both kids are very excited to ski now.

Since we were already in downtown Boulder we went to one of Cory’s favorite restaurants. Rincon Argentino has the best Empenadas!

We got home and put the kids to bed way later than we should have, it’s become a bad habit. Especially since Cannon still thinks it’s cool to get up at 5:30 AM (boo).
