{Iced In}

No school today and the girls will be thrilled.
See, they don't know it yet.
I found out right at bed time last night.
But if I told them you know what would have happened right?
They would have woken up super early because...well...there was no school.
That is the way it works remember.
So instead they are all sleeping soundly
warm in their beds and it's after 7!
That's my snow day I guess!!:)

I had a feeling this would happen so I visited Redbox, Michael's and the grocery store.

We are all set with goodies to make, bake and watch.

I have a feeling it will be a wonderful day.

Can you believe it is February first already?

And speaking of February, have you seen this idea.

I am doing this in some fashion or another starting today.

It certainly won't look as cute as Leslie's 

but there will still be lots of love involved and that's what matters right?

So happy February my friends!

Start spreading the love!

I will be right here

all iced in doing the same.

waving bye-bye

Enjoy the day,

Cindy

{Weekend Glimpses}

Ok...this cleanse is hard.
We had a cheat night on Friday.
and honestly it was great.
We had pizza, soda and ice-cream for desert.
Wow when I cheat I guess I really cheat.
The funny thing is, the night was awesome.
We ate pizza and bread sticks right out of the box
Played the music really loud
and all danced like crazy.
Somehow the night wouldn't
have been quite the same with a salad and grilled chicken.
What in the world does that say about me?
I have absolutely no will power I guess.
Glad I don't have any real addictive issues to try and overcome
or I'd be in real trouble.

Looking back over my blog recently I noticed my pictures of these two are pretty hard to come by.
Why do they have to be away from me all day at school anyway.
I miss them.

ever notice that one little hair is there a lot...drives me c.r.a.z.y.!:)

for the record, Riley does not have an ipod

she just likes to plug Dave's ear buds into her cd player and pretend

Saturday night was family movie night.
We watched Secretariat.
It was awesome. We seriously loved it and now Janey wants a horse.
Even though I was pretty good all day
eating my soup and having that above mentioned grilled chicken and salad for dinner
I did cave to the popcorn (Dave resisted...bugger).
It was yummy too.

Look what I made.

I bought a Martha Stewart kit for these at TJ Max for $7, way before Christmas.
Finally got them done and hanging above Aubrey's crib.
I need a picture of her in bed pointing up at her "poofs" as she calls them.
They look so great in her room.
The big girls love them too.
I have a feeling more poofs are in my future.

Did a little bit of Valentine decorating last week.
Saw this idea here and modified it a bit.
I was way to scared and lazy to pull out my sewing machine
so I settled for yarn and scotch tape.
I think they look pretty....from a distance.:)

Riley loved the idea so she made some for her room.

We were in a lovey kind of mood this weekend so more Valentines Day crafts were in order.

We used to do these in my classroom with love notes to each other on them.

I saw the idea again here and it reminded me of just how pretty they look.

We skipped the love notes...but there are more of those to come.

I promise.

This little girl has been eating with her toes on the table forever.

Can't tell you how much I love it.

Janey and Aubrey enjoyed some good birthday party fun.

We have been singing "Happy Birthday To You" with every ones name in it for about a week now.

I'm ready to move on to a new favorite song.

Riley did a lot of this...as usual.

She didn't stay alone for long.

This is burning in my kitchen right now.

Oh how I love Target.

Dave went out of town again....sigh...

He left a day early because of the snow that's on it's way.

He is such a sweet, sweet hubby.

He grilled some chicken for me and made me a huge salad to eat for the next few days.

I promise when I go out of town...which hasn't happened since 2008, I always deep clean the house and do ALL the laundry first!:)

What did you do this weekend?

Enjoy the day,

Cindy

{Soups On}

Well...we are in day 4 of our cleanse and I think today feels like our best day yet.
I have to admit, day 1 and 2 were tough!
And I mean tough.
I guess I never really realized how much I eat during the day.
I am definitely a snacker.
Making meals and snacks for the girls didn't help either.
Man a bowl of Goldfish never looked so good!:)

Dave made the most amazing soup last night.
I seriously had three bowls of it.
I think it was the best soup I have ever had.

Now if I just had a big crusty piece of bread to go with it.....

Make this soup and

enjoy your dinner!!:)
