Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )
                                                     










Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.
                                                   
                                                Yummy Whoopie Pie!
                                 
                                                       My Valentine!
Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and her (practically) brand new baby at Tumbleweed.  She and her husband are stationed in Hawaii and she is in for a little while.  Little Peter was so adorable and sweet!  I was so busy holding him I didn't get a picture!  Trust me, though, he is one of the most gorgeous baby boys I've ever seen!   We stayed and talked for 3 hours, so I'll apologize now to our server.  At least they weren't very busy while we were there!   That night we went out again with our "Spanish Club." It includes all of us who work Summer Camp.  We ended up with a pretty short wait at Cheeseburger in Paradise, which is sort of amazing considering there were 8 + a highchair and it was Valentine's weekend! Thank goodness for call-ahead seating!
Natalie is always the life of the party.  She was also looking ahead to the next holiday already! Her shirt reads, "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!"
                                                   
On Sunday, Zach worked and Nellie and I went ahead to Henderson for church.  Well, Nellie went to Mama Joyce's, of course! ; ) After church, we had a yummy lunch of chicken and rice, and then I decided I was going to get things accomplished.  I cranked up the music and primed 3 walls in our affectionately coined "blue room."  The wood paneling is much preferred to the underlying plaster, and I know it's going to look awesome when we get it done.  Just one more wall to go and then I'll have to start picking out paint! I was pretty impressed with myself for accomplishing this instead of my usual choice on a Sunday when Zach is working. (A nice, long nap! : )) 
2 of the walls all primed up!  Ignore the changing and craft table!
How Nellie spent her time while I was painting!  It was hilarious to watch her get comfortable on top of Fred!

Zach surprised us by getting off early and he was surprised by my paint job!  We got to relax the rest of the night and he even voluntarily turned the Olympics on for me!  It was so sweet to see our two guys take the Alpine Medals.  And can we talk about how cute Bode Miller and his wife are?  So sweet!

  1. Love the way your house is looking. I like the paint job over the panels :)

    1. Thanks! We've been working hard on it! I joked with Zach at this rate, we'll have it all fixed up about the time we're ready to move out! Haha!

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!
