I've slowly been updating the blog, I'll try to have it all updated before we leave on Tuesday...5 days!!!

Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's Day was very special this year, I think it keeps getting better and better every year :) Quaid had given us an envelope with some coupon's in it good for: Cleaning his room, doing the dishes and writing for fun. Needless to say, they are all things he is to do on a daily basis...but it was cute to see what he came up with.

We had our Valentine's Dinner on Friday night because the kid's were going to a Birthday Party on Valentine's Day, so we had a family dinner on Friday and Mommy & Daddy got their own Valentine's Dinner together. After dinner both the kid's went back to Bailey's room to get our Valentine Presents ready for the next morning. It was very interesting to listen to them and trying to figure out what was for who??

We wake up on Valentine's Day and open our boxes we made, then read our Valentine's from our family, very sweet from Quaid, Bailey's were a little scribbly and sweet..lol Then the kid's wanted to open their present's, so Daddy got a Lion (lil toy), Quaid got a Bunny (Bailey's bunny by the way), I got a Bib, yes a Baby's Bib...the kid's said it was for my "BABY", hmmm...didn't know I had a Baby?? Then they proceeded to tell me it's for when I have a real baby. TOO FUNNY!!! Then Bailey got a Dragon Tale book (her's also)..lol That was fun and very cute of them!! Then they got to open their present from us a Kidi Art Studio that hook's up to the TV, they can take pic's of themselves and paint, dress up, all kind's of fun things. You can also hook it up to the computer and email pics too, we have yet to get that far...they are having way too much fun on TV.

That evening the kid's went to their friend Sophia's birthday party, thanks to her Wonderful parent's offering to have all our kid's over on Valentine's Day!!! :) Johnny and I headed down to the Mall to hit the Disney Store for our upcoming Vacation. We found lots of lil character's, they were B1G1!! Instead of buying them while we are at Disney, we thought we would buy them now and leave them for the housekeeper's each day, then when we return for the night...they have a new character to sleep with :) After the Mall, we headed back to pick up the kid's...with no real dinner plans and our main goal was Disney Store...we stopped at McDonald's for dinner!!! Can you believe it? Here we are on a Valentine's Date and we eat at McDonald's...we didn't even have the kids!!! I really just wanted some fries, Johnny wanted a Quarter Pounder...if you buy 1 you get 1 for whatever the temp was the day before. (they got him) We picked up the kid's and hung out with the Graham's and some other friends picking up their kid's...they made us all a Margarita and we sat around and chatted while the kid's were still running around like crazy..lol It was a fun Day all together and filled with LOVE :)

Icky, Sicky

Believe it or not, we haven't had to make a trip to the Dr. office yet this Winter for anything, until the other day when we had to take Quaid in for his foot. When he was going to bed one night he started screaming and crying that he stepped on something, he cried for a loooong time, but seemed to be a little better the next day (he also had a field trip too, so he was very eager to go) After about 4 day's he said it still hurt, so I looked at it and it was protruding out, which didn't look like it was healing right?? So I took him in to the Dr and she immediately said, Wart. Then she said, wait, let me look closer and was poking around it because it had some puss (sorry if it's TMI) coming out, then out popped this little thing. I was freaking out and wondering what the heck it was, while also trying to stay calm for Quaid, who has NO idea what is going on and what just popped out of his foot. Then she grabs some tweezer's and out came the......TOOTHPICK!!!!! OUCH!!! I felt so bad for the poor guy :( Thankfully he is doing much, much better now :)

Although we haven't made any Doctor visit's this year doesn't mean we haven't been through our round's :( Bailey was sick a few week's ago with a BAD stomach bug, thankfully though she much better a day later. Quaid just oddly enough had a fever one day, that's it...just a fever, nothing else!! Weird, huh? Now they both have a little cold, poor Bailey is just a snotty yucky mess :( We're praying this all leave's our house and we can all be healthy for Vacation!!

A Mommy's still gotta care for her baby even when she's sick..lol

Our friend, JOE

HA, I finally found out his name...our recycling friend anyway. Guess what he gave us now...2 BIG stuffed CHRISTMAS Bear's! I have a feeling I'm gonna have to start cutting back on my dumpster time or I might end up with a whole ZOO!!!

Oh well, it was very nice of him and of course the kid's LOVE them, just kind of odd...lol
