Love From the Grands

You know it's going to be a good Saturday when it starts out with surprise roses from your husband! I forgot to take a picture, but they are pretty (as most roses are). After the roses, I spent most of the morning trying to figure out a way that we could make a trip to a warmer climate ASAP. I'm still working on it...

It was brought to my attention that I failed to mention here that last weekend C ended up with staples in his head! The kiddos were playing in the playroom and gave conflicting stories of how C's head ended up hitting a little wooden table, but it did. And it was not good. He was very brave, though! And today he was just as brave as they pulled those staples back out. It healed beautifully. I actually took a picture last Saturday, but I will spare blogland the bloody staple picture.

After the staple removal, the kiddos went shopping to spend the Valentines Day money that Daddy B and Grandma sent them. They both picked out sunglasses, which they both felt like they needed to wear immediately even though it was dark. AP also needed to change into her new shirt that she picked out right then.

We met Boompa and Baba for a V Day dinner. The kiddos got Hawaiian gifts from Baba's recent trip to Hawaii. Maybe we should go to Hawaii so they can wear their new shirts :) (see I'm still trying to work in that warmer climate...)


When we got home from dinner there were big boxes on the front step from Nanna! The kiddos loved their "I love you" bears.

Thank you to all the grandparents!!!!

Weird But Good

We've been getting ready for Valentines Day at our house. This weekend we finished making C's "mailbox" for his Valentines.

This afternoon we made red velvet cupcakes for the Puggles to decorate at church tonight. After C tasted the red velvet batter, he decided it was "weird, but good." I think if you didn't know that was red velvet batter, then you might think he looked a little like a Cullen :)

After putting little treat bags together for C's class and AP's MDO class I decided that it would be fun to paint cookies with Royal Icing to match their treat bags! Yes, I know it's a little OCD, but it was fun!

Hopefully, there will indeed be school tomorrow so AP doesn't miss her party!

Speaking of Snow

I love your lovely snow in the winter

I love your lovely leaves in the fall

I love your lovely flowers in the spring

I love your lovely sunshine in the summer

Amen

(C's bedtime prayer last night, as in this poetry spontaneously came from his mind...amazing)

It's Baaaack!

It keeps snowing and snowing and snowing! We are out of school again today. I don't think middle TN schools have missed this much school in a long time. Of course, I haven't had a school-aged kiddo until this year, but I used to work in the school system, so believe me when I tell you that I looked forward to snow days then too!

Was there a game on last night?

Because I spent the night chatting with girlfriends about paint colors, decorating schemes, Romans, and trying to name my friend's baby girl that will make her appearance in just a few short months. When I wasn't chatting or snacking, I was taking pictures of the cute kiddos as they ran by!

This little pumpkin crawled for the first time, even though she wasn't very happy about it!

You can see the Super Bowl was on in the background, but the dancing kiddos are way cuter!
