Our Weekend

These weekends go by much too quickly. Friday night Heather and I took the kids to the mall to get their Lacrosse gear. Then we had a quick bite to eat at Panera Bread. Jon stayed home to paint the girls’ new beds. They came out really cute!! We spent the entire day on Saturday cleaning and emptying out their room and then putting everything back together. Image

Sunday was Marlene’s birthday and their first day home from St. Marten so we had everyone up for dinner. Such a fun day!! Image

I think someone missed their BabaImage

Happy Valentine’s Day

I decorated the kitchen last night so the girls could wake up to a sweet Valentine’s Day treat:Image

They had a half day of school today so I got to spend the day with the 5 sweetest girls I know:

How lucky am I?

In other news, I’m trying to teach Lucy that it is not ok for her to answer the phone. Even though it’s funny when she tells the telemarketers “duh, my dad’s at work”, I’ve been missing all kinds of phone calls. She is just too quick for me! Plus, if she’s upstairs I just don’t have a chance!  She did make me a sweet Valentine’s day card so I can’t be too upset.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Coconuts

My children have a strange fascination with coconuts. We went to Trader Joe’s this morning and Chloe had to have a bag of Coconut Chips. They are delish!! Emma got to thinking about regular coconuts and how much fun we all have when we buy one. Strange, huh? ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Seriously, can you sense the excitement?

I prefer the coconut chips but I think the pictures would be less exciting 🙂

Happy Love Month!

I’ve been complaining about winter all season so I’m trying to put a positive spin on February by calling it Love Month. Just go with it! I’m trying here! 

This morning Lucy and I went to the library to pick out some Valentine’s Day books:ImageImage

After the library we stopped to pick up some heart shaped donuts:ImageImage

Yum!! 

Yesterday we went to HomeGoods, The Party Store and Joanne’s Fabric to pick up some Valentine’s Day decorations. We’re ready to have a great month!!

A Few Moments From Last Week

Here are a few missed moments from last week:

Lucy was sick most of last week so we spent a lot of time playing and snugglingImageImage

Chloe had her chorus concert last week too. By the looks of this picture she caught me snapping a picture:

Chloe ended up getting Lucy’s cold so she was sick all weekend.

I took Emma and Megan to Tutti Frutti over the weekend:Image

The rest of the weekend was spent at home making sure that everyone starts to feel better
