Happy Birthday???

Soooo, tomorrow is Valentines Day and my 33rd (i think) Birthday. It is funny how birthdays change when you become a mom, particularly a stay at home mom. A few years ago when I was a working gal, coming and going as I please, my day probably would have entailed dressing up for work in something pink and/or red. Arriving at my desk decorated with balloons or streamers and/or presents. Getting taken out to lunch and doted on. Then, in the afternoon a party complete with a cake of some sorts and some good times.
Let me tell you what the plans on for tomorrow: 9:00 a.m. Providing it is not a blizzard like preticted, (and I am so totally jealous of Pastor Chris)I will be driving the wildflowers to the doctors office because for the last 2 days I have been slimed with snot and caughed on more than I care to remember!! We haven't had a remotely descent night sleep in several days and I am sure tonight will not be any different!
But I have promised myself a special treat in the morning......a White Chocolate Mocha. That should help me make it thru the day.
I am thankful to be having a birthday and I am looking forward to all of the things to come this next year!!

Tinkle Tinkle Ltr Str

Madison was using a baseball bat as her microphone this morning. She found Matthew's bat that he keeps under the bed to attack the bad guys that may brake into our house.........isn't that a lovely thought!! You can also hear Parker in the background yelling thru the window at Matthew because he was outside working on his truck....daddy, daddy, daddy!!!!

St. Valentine

I am probably the only one who semi-decorates their home for February. I believe the reason is because my birthday is on Valentines Day so it's like the whole month is a celebration!! Birthdays were more fun in my twenties because I was just turning twenty-something, but the last few years it has been thirty-something and I don't think that I like that very much. Don't get me wrong, it's better than the alternative, but still! So here are some of my Valentine things that I am putting up around the house...
The dining room table...



Bathroom....


Kitchen...
Front Door....
Breakfast this morning...

Watching TV in the red wagon....

Come on.......

So far our day has gone as follows:

2:30 am * Madison is awake in my room. Put Madison back to bed but of course it takes me an hour to return to sleep.....
6:30 am * Parker wakes up way to early and wakes everyone else up in the meantime.......

From then on all I have heard is..........yellling, screaming, whining, running, doors slamming, fighting, and way to much of me saying " You guys!!"
My sister-in-love had a day like this yesterday, so I suppose it's my turn! Can't wait until naptime!!
