Kilbane Happenings

Ok, so since we will soon no longer be living in St. Louis, I thought it best to change the name of the blog. The blog is now knows as Kilbane Adventures. Therefore the URL has also changed. It is: www.kilbanehappenings.blogspot.com I will still be posting and sending out reminders about recent posts. Lots of adventures lie ahead of us and we couldn't me more excited about moving to our new home in Atlanta, GA. We're hoping to be settled in sometime this summer. The kids will finish out the school year here in St. Louis.

Yesterday was our first snow day of the year. Thursday is typically a day when both kids are in school all day. Being home all day together was a lot of fun. The played hard all day, took turns watching movies, made each other "cards", and got silly in the snow. When it came time for bed, Brady didn't want to go to his room. He wanted to sleep with his sister. Precious moments like these make this mommy's heart melt. They slept like this all night and when Brady woke me up at 6am, he shut Kaitlyn's door so she could sleep in.

So I'm a little disappointed! The east coast gets Winter Storm Nemo and we get "Q"?? I think they could have gotten a little more creative. Anyway, the kids' school was called off yesterday as I picked them up at 3, so I knew we would be staying home to enjoy it! Unfortunate Brian wasn't as lucky as us to be able today home. He went off to work and who knows when he'll get home. I've been out twice to shovel his side of the driveway so he can get in the garage when he does get home. The kids enjoyed being in the snow but weren't too thrilled when the wind was blowing sleet in their faces. It's brutal out there. Anyway, they were much happier when we came inside to warm up and had some hot cocoa with EXTRA marshmallows. Stay warm everyone!

Well....what a weekend! We had quite a fun and event filled weekend. Friday night Brian escorted Kaitlyn to the Daddy-Daughter Valentine dance sponsored by the school. They had a great time. Brady and I had our own date night - dinner at Cracker Barrel and then a trip to the pet store to see animals (his favorite!). Saturday we got invited to have dinner with friends from the kids' school while the girls in the group went to a tennis clinic. Kaitlyn loved it! Then we got up super early this morning to go to Kaitlyn's feis downtown. She did great placing second in the reel and third in her light jig. Her last feis she had quite a large case of the jitters, but she did great this time around! Kaitlyn then had an indoor soccer game where she played great. We made homemade pizza for dinner and ended the night with frozen yogurt at Menchie's! Thanks grandma an grandpa K for the valentine gift cards for the kids! What a weekend....
