Weekend Recap

I already posted earlier about babysitting this past weekend, and I guess that about summed it up.  On Friday, we ate with Zach's parents and played rummy.  It was so funny because on the way over there I told him I was craving his mom's fettucine alfredo, and that is what she made!  So delicious! 

On Saturday we were super lazy and slept until around 8:00.  I made pancakes, which turned out better than they usually do.  (Of all the the thing I cook well, I always seem to screw up pancakes.  How does someone even mess those up?)  We then went to Lowe's where we bought primer for the affectionately coined "blue room" aka our second biggest bedroom.  It has wood paneling, but seeing as there is plaster underneath, it's going to look a lot better to just paint over the paneling.  I still haven't decided on a paint color, but have decided that I am just going to prime it for now and then pick a color later on this year. 

I had to be at the kids' house to babysit at 2:00, so I had to kiss both my loves goodbye and tear myself away from leave them.  I love watching these kids, but I so do not like being away from Zach and Nellie overnight!  I had lots of fun with the kiddos and had lots of fun things planned to do with them.  I took my Cricut and we cuts out ton of shapes for them to color, we made homemade play-doh, and make cookies.  They were loving it!  Owen kept asking if he could really keep the play-doh after I went home.  So sweet!  The night went pretty uneventfully with me only waking up once, and the kids were up and at 'em at 6:30.  Their parents got home and I was back with Zach and Nellie by noon.  Then we went to Qdoba (Don't worry, I already fessed up on our cheating on another NSM post!)  We came back home and I had a glorious hour and a half nap with Nellie and Zach and then cooked our yummy supper of Two Timin' Pasta Bake. 

The weekend literally flew by leaving me little time to actually feel like I accomplished much, but thankfully this next weekend is all clear to spend with my sweet lil' family! : )

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 he

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

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
