February 15, 2009 - Bellagio "O"

Still in Vegas... Bil and I went to watch "O". The Cirque de Solei show features water and acrobatics. Unfortunately, our seats were about the third row from the back. The Bellagio show room was enormous and we were not even able to tell if we were watching men or women... :) With little to eat that day, a lot of walking, and a late night show (we loaded into the taxi home around 1 am)... the best part was grabbing a bite to eat at a Hilton cafe before heading to bed. We were so tired, we were giddy... okay... I WAS GIDDY. It made me think back to our teenage years. It was fun hanging out together, holding hands, talking, and laughing loudly.

February 14, 2009... Sweedish Massage

February 13, 2009 - Ballerina Doll house and no sleep

So the ballerina doll house is now complete. Grandma helped me sew around the little fused dolls that I cut out of the fabric while we were teaching this morning. I sewed, packed for the kids, cleaned, packed for myself, and looked for my wallet which has been missing for about three weeks now. No matter how hard one tries to organize and be prepared for trips... it rarely happens. I did get about two hours of sleep! Wheee!!! I'm excited to see what they think when they receive them tomorrow morning.

February 12, 2009 - The Love Bug

The Love Bug came early! Somehow she knew that the kids wouldn't be home for Valentine's day and so she dropped off goodies and jammies for all!

February 11, 2009 - Wil, Mason, and Dallyn Birthday Treats

Tonight was Wil's night to head out for ice cream with Grandpa and Grandma. As two of his cousins are close in birthday dates, they combined all three together and had a great time! Wil decided upon a chocolate blizzard with MnMs... of course.

February 10, 2009 - Construction Sites

Two construction sites down... one ballerina dollhouse to go! :) I hope the boys have fun... I'm not sure if they will recognize that the front area is actually a paved road. Not a lot of fabrics to choose from in this color scheme. Wil had yellow caution cones and Ben had blue. Each received a collection of construction vehicles.

February 9, 2009 - Getting ready for V-day!

I can't believe that we (Bil and I) won't be home on Valentine's Day. I'm already anticipating leaving Emma, Wil, and Ben... missing them... and feeling badly that we'll miss out on the Valentine Festivities. I love watching them pour pink milk out of the milk container or finding their LOVE BUG jammies the night before. In anticipation of NOT spending this weekend with them, I am on a mission to leave a few surprises and am hopeful that we can get it all ready in time. The plan includes, a cute "house" for each with corresponding items inside. Kim shared the idea and I've purchased my materials and am set to go! We found some cute socks, a little teddy bear for each, and treats to share with Grandpa and Grandma for FHE on Monday. We also need to finish making their Valentines. :) Here's a look at this year's Valentine card picks.
