Mondays..

I have Mondays off and I try to find something fun for the girls and I to do on those days. The Children's Musuem is closed on Mondays, go figure. I tried to go to the library and they were closed as well...go figures. So, we ended up going to Chucky Cheese to play games. This will not be a typical outing due to the cost, but the girls definately LOVED it. I liked it because there were only a few kids there so it wasn't the typical crazy Chucky scene. Liv loved carrying around the tickets and coins. Harper loved inserting them and playing the games. Good times!

"Granny"

The past two weekends we have been at the lake for the "remodel" projects of the second trailor at the lake. Last weekend while painting was happening, my mom and I headed to "town" and visited Granny with the kids. It was so nice to sit in her kitchen and chat while drinking tea. She is such a beautiful and inspiring woman.

Kid free vacation-whoop whoop

Teaf and I headed to Colorado a couple weeks ago for a kid free weekend with friends. Thanks to the grandparents for taking care of our wee ones. The kids were so happy and comfortable, they didn't so much miss us AT ALL. I had to ask if they even mentioned our names in the 4 days we were away. Um, they put it politely..."not really." It truly makes me happy knowing that they are good when we are away. It makes being away so nice! We stayed with a good buddy of Teafs who gave us great hospitality. We ate lunch and walked around in Boulder one day, went to a bridal shower that night, attended to one of his best friend's wedding, and had breakfast with baby Liam & his parents;) (Scott and Merris) . It was so nice to spend quality time together on our road trip. What a great weekend get-a-way!

Visit with the aunties...

A few weekends back, Aunt Shannon & Aunt Amy paid us a visit for the evening. We had dinner (thanks to Teaf), played with the kiddos, and had girl chat for a few hours. All was perfect except a certain someone was missing. We sure do miss Auntie Kate and can't wait for her (& David) to come back home:)

Valentines candy and cards

Harper had preschool on Valentines Day. She painted cardboard butterflies for her classmates and attached a lollipop to them. She came home with a sack full of cards and candy. We spent the evening playing Dinosaurs while eating candy. Liv doesn't like candy or anything sweet for that matter so she ate vanilla wafers. My favorite is when Liv says "Cinderella" and "I love you"...too sweet.
