My Abbie turned 4!!!!

It's hard to believe but today Abbie turned 4! It seems like just yesterday that I was anxiously awaiting her arrival (ok, maybe crankily was more like it). Like Alex she decided to take her sweet time and was a week late. No matter the late arrival she is dearly loved and I enjoyed being able to bake her a cake and wrap a couple of presents for her to have when she got home this evening. I will have a larger friends and family party for her and Alex next weekend but this one tonight was just for the three of us.

Vallentines Day Fun

The kids and I had a great Valentines Day this last weekend. Since several on my friend's husbands were not available on Saturday and since I am newly single we decided to have a kids party instead. We went over to H's house around 10:30 where we were joined by L and B. The kids had a great time helping to cut out and decorate sugar cookies. The mommies had a great time eating sugar cookie dough! After lunch Alex, Abbie and I left for nap time and then we met H and P at church. After church we went back to H's house for dinner and cookie eating. The kids had a great time and got to use their new aprons that I made as a Valentines day gift for them.

Call me Tom Sawyer

Every time I vacuum the house the kids fight over who gets to help vacuum. So when I saw a small lightweight vacuum on sale the day after Thanksgiving for $10 I knew that I had to get one as a Christmas present. Now the kids vacuum the floors for me and they think that they are playing with a really cool toy!
