February <3

I heart February.
Its my Anniversary month and Valentine's day. Its all about love.
God wasnt kidding when he told us ... and the greatest of these is love.
So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the best one of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Actually, Valentine's Day is one of my all time favorite things. I'm really into cute things, and during this time of year.. there is plenty to ooooo and awww about.

The kids and I made the cutest (there I go with that word again. I admit= I abuse it) Valentine's cupcakes. Ladybug- another obsession on mine. Usually, when the kids and I bake and decorate cupcakes, they lose interest after decorating a couple. Which is just fine and dandy for me. I get to decorate most of them. nya-nya-nya! Well, not this time. They had extra fun doing these and participated from start to finish. Very easy and kid friendly.

Well it looks like this thread is turning into a my favorite things episode. There are no rules on blogs. I can rant and rave all about myself right?

This post is useless without pics.. let me go find my camera.. I'm out of memory anyway. I have about 500 pics on it. Which I am thrilled about. My Cybershot media would only hold a measly 60 at 5MP.. Boooo! hahaha

ok. brb..update.. camera dead.. and its late. pictures for sure manana!

How great is our God?

Rainy Day? Check! Monday? Check!

Yep, they got me down.
Today was blah. Its gonna be a witchfest, so this is your warning. Click out now.

I'm still trying to get rid of this cold. I'm a HUGE baby when I'm sick. I admit. I rarely get sick, but when I do.. watch out.

On top of all of that, I have tooth pain. In 2 places.. huh? All of a sudden. I flossed my teeth to death while I watched the HGTV Dream Home tour. A few pieces of cracked peppercorn came out. Funny because I have been eating the finely ground variety lately. No tellin how long that sucker was in there. Ew. So now I only have one sensitive tooth. Give me a break. I've always been able to bite into anything cold with no problem. Why now? I cant even drink anything cold without my fang tripping out. I drank with my head tilted so it wouldnt get on my tooth. What a dork! hahahahaha so anyway... Not fun. I hope it goes away soon.

Its almost midnight here and I still have chicken salad to make. My very dear husband brought home celery, eggs and chicken and asked me how to make chicken salad. Hint hint. I cant be that mean. I opened my big mouth and told him I would make it. *rolls*eyes* I told him I will not take credit for it though. He requested only egg whites and fat free MIRACLE WHIP!!! Gross! I dont even get the satisfaction of a midnight snack. I cant stand Miracle whip.. and I'm not about to make 2 batches. Suffer baby. <--- talking to myself.

Oh.... what else.. Oh yeah. Mallory was running a fever today. 101.2 this am and 99.something this afternoon. She wasnt really acting sick this evening, so hopefully it will just pass.

JP is on a kitty kick. Thanks to me. I bought a game called Purrpals a few weeks ago. Its a nintendo ds game where you feed, groom, play with your kitten.

Well he decided he wants a real one. He even wrote down a list of things he will need.. you know the "baskit" and "cayg". He is sooooo "strong willed" that he will not take correction on misspelled words. He insisted that I was wrong because he sounded them out! I told him I would consider getting him one for his birthday. I would much rather have a cat than a dog. Dogs disgust me to be honest. They really do.

I will have to do a weekend wrap up tomorrow. I really dont feel like talking about anything positive right now. hahahaa... which is a point I have been meaning to bring up. I dont want my readers to get the false impression that things are always happy go lucky in my life. They are not. I have my downs but I choose not to share them most of the time. Got it? Good. :)

Weekend Wrap Up

Lets see.. what did we do this weekend?

Friday night I had to watch Jeremy. The kids and I headed over there and Dh came to visit us later on in the evening. I think its sweet that he wanted to spend the evening with us even though I was babysitting. I love my husband. He even brought Dinner. We shared a Plain Jane from Jason's Deli and the kids had Wendy's nuggets.

Saturday we went to San Antonio. Dh got us tickets to Monster Jam 08.

I wasnt really looking forward to it. Monster Trucks aren't my thing and we've been several times already. I even considered giving up my ticket. hahahah.. Glad I went. We had a WONDERFUL time. I dont remember it being so much fun before! By the end of the night, *I* was waving Mallory's Grave Digger flag, cheering him on. JP was in heaven. He kept saying, "wicked awesome!".... Since we had online tickets, the pit pass was included.

We got to see the trucks up close and personal. That was fun too.. but next time I'll dress Mallory in jeans and sneaks! It didnt occur to me that we would be walking in turf. DOH! Lots of fun. I definitely want to go next year. Maybe its the age of our kids thats makes it so fun. :)


Sunday.. Church. Then home. We spent way too much money at MJ08, so we didnt go out to eat after services like we usually do. Dh grilled up some steaks and we relaxed at home. The kids and I put together the Rose Petal Cottage. Cute playhouse! Got a super duper deal on it. 20 bucks! Thats a steal. I'm very proud of my clearance find, thank you very much.

Happy Holidays.. a little late!

Ok.. I haven't posted since Oct.
So Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. hahahaha

Things are back to normal after the holidays. I like the holidays better. I had my little Johnny home with me. It was hard giving him up.

Things are good. Everyone is happy and healthy.

New year, new hopes and dreams. 2007 was very good to us, so we are looking forward to an even better year oh eight.

Dh has been working his tail off lately. Dont know why, but I feel a little guilty. Should I? I do my best to take care of the kids and this household-- but I feel like I get to have all the "fun". Maybe its because we are coming off the holidays. ??? Anyway, I'll pray for guidance in that area. I dont like feeling this way.

I just celebrated my 34th birthday. Wow! 34. I remember when I was a kid 34 seemed old.The "OHH" reaction from people when I tell people how old I turned doesnt help either. hahahahaha.. I wont let it get me down. I am exactly where I want to be in my life.

I finally took down the outdoor Christmas lights. Yes, I'm that neighbor. *blush* I did it while dh was at work. I bet I looked funny fishing the lights off the tree with my broomstick.. and in my house shoes. (hey they're cute.. valentine ones, with an outdoor sole) I didnt want to give up my cute little gingerbread table runner. I asked Dh if it looked too Chirtsmassy. hahahaha. You know the answer. I'm whippin that baby out Nov 1 2008....so in 10 months.hahahaha that cute. ;)

what else? .... oh, the kids got really fun toys this year. We organized everything nice and neat so we know what we have, and we have done a good job keeping it that way. Yay us!

Gotta go put dh to sleep. wink*wink*

Talk to you soon.
