On a bright note..

I'll be here in 24 days...

Literally nothing

I have nothing to say or show.  Nothing is going on...just plugging along.  Taking the lemons and making lemonade.  Greeting each day with a grateful heart.  Enjoying the rebirth of trees and flowers.  Questioning why we got a puppy when she is rowdy and biting us.  Then remembering when she is sweet.  In the buying new stuff phase of getting ready to travel. 


We had a suprise party for my mom's 60th birthday but I don't have any pictures of that.  But it was nice.


Not sure where my phone went but I might have some pictures on that to fill the void that is this blog lately.  Also, new camera (replacement for broken new camera) came yesterday so things might be looking up.

Reading List

I finished the Hunger Games trilogy.  Oh My!  The first one was the best, but the other two were fantastic!  I was happy with the ending and can NOT wait until the first movie comes out on March 23.....MY BIRTHDAY!!

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Next up is The Kitchen House:

And some other books I have on deck:

Girlchild by Tupelo Hassman

(The main character is named Rory....kinda weird but I'll figure it out.)

And I have a bunch of books on my kindle and ordered from Amazon.  (LOVE the used book section...seriously, $1 for a hardcover?!)

Trip to Mexico in a few weeks without kids = kinda sad mom with lots of reading time and hopefully a tan.

Valentine's Day 2012

We had a nice quiet day at home yesterday.  Mark is in Shreveport, but made sure his girls were still spoiled. 

 I got these pretty flowers and the girls got Shari's Berries chocolate covered strawberries and cake pops.  It's funny because Caroline has seen the commercial for those on tv for weeks and talked about them.  So as soon as she saw the box she started jumping up and down....

And I gave them some princess candy, Hello Kitty toothbrushes and new pjs!

Valentine

These are the Valentines we made for the girls' parties tomorrow.....

But I'm doubting they will have school tomorrow with all the freezing rain/ice/snow we are about to get.  I love a good snow, so I'm happy either way.  Besides, nothing wrong with being snowed in with a bunch of chocolate, is there?!?

And this happened

 

Caroline gave herself a little haircut this weekend.

Catch-up

Here's some pictures of us lately.....

 Greta and Remy had a day long wrestling match.

 

The girls (with Papa) got magic (not just ordinary) wands at Disney Princess live.  

 

And we are still getting used to having a puppy around all the time.  I keep reminding myself that even the calmest, sweetest dogs were naughty puppies once.
