It's been a couple of weeks since my last post, but a lot has been going on.
First, we celebrated Valentine's Day and my hubby surprised me with these little lovelies.
And, I gave Lucy a cute Valentine's hair do.
We decided that instead of buying our kids a bunch of candy and stuff, we would spend some time together as a family so, we made red-velvet cupcakes and decorated them together. It was a lot of fun.
(although, truth be told, the cupcakes were kind of dry)
Our kids started their mid-winter break on President's Day so after church on Sunday we headed over to my parents house for a visit. The kids always love going to Grandma and Grandpa's house, and we are lucky that both sets of grandparents live in the same town so we get to see them all. We had fun visiting and playing games with everyone. One of the highlights of the trip was making caramel apples. Grandma had the caramel and apples all ready to go and my kids had tons of fun coating them with candy and chocolate. And even more fun eating them.
Don't they look DELICIOUS???
We left my parents house on Wednesday and on the drive home, I started to get a scratch in my throat and a stuffy nose. By that night I was already feelin' pretty crummy. I spent Thursday, Friday, and most of Saturday either on the couch or in bed. Thankfully, my kids and Billy took good care of me. While I was down and out, I read the first 3 books in this series:
I have always found Greek Mythology interesting so I really enjoyed the books. They were a quick read and I always like that! (Now I just have to find the last 2 books in the series.)
Finally, since the kids have been back in school, I have been trying to catch up on my house work. During my breaks I like to come fiddle around on the computer and so, I put together this shot.
I found pictures of both Lucy and Brooklyn wearing this dress and sitting on the stairs so I thought it would be fun to see what they would look like together. It's funny to see how much chubbier Lucy was. And of course, who could forget the thumb and belly-button.
