Patrick Boys 1st Sled

On Sunday we went to Menard's to buy the boys a sled and get Christmas lights to put up on our house.  It was a mad house in there!!  But it was fun to have our first outing in the snow with the boys to be getting a sled.  :D
We bought a cheap-o blue one and some rope to pull it on flat land.  haha
However, you should see some of the sleds they make now days! -- They look like an ER visit.  Ryan and I were laughing that the sleds cost $25- But really you should add the $90 co-pay for the ER on to that, and in our case, $180!  $205 for a sled.... I think NOT!  ;)

Here is John watching the light-up polar bear.  He was fascinated by all of the lights, snowmen, and Santa's.


Precious Stephen, riding in the cart.  He looks like a little lamb.  <3

CLARK GRISWOLD!  BAAHAHA
Ryan was trying to figure out how he would hang the lights on the exterior of our house.  He actually thought he was going to talk me into thinking this was the answer!  Can you even imagine?!  Snow....ladder....lights....and a staple machine gun?!
Sorry Ryan, not at this Patrick house. :D

I do have a strict NO CHRISTMAS stuff before Thanksgiving.  But since we are going out of town... We wanted to buy lights before they were sold out.  Thanks for understanding! Haha

PS, We haven't used the sled. by the time we got home- it was past nap time and then the day light was gone... I'm hoping to get out there and sled soon! :)

We went looking for a sled for Ava. I was so shocked at the prices... I called my mom she laughed.. said to go to Mills Fleet farm... we ended up with a toddler sled for 12 dollars I pulled it in the snow it was a pain in my butt.. It like ate all the snow under it and then would get stuck. STUPID THING
