I had the perfect birthday! Jason and the girls went out to pick a cake and buy presents from the dollar store (Kylie- a shell with pearls, Ari-a mug) with their own money... Then, they picked up Chinese (burbon chicken and rice)... Jas gave me 3 books and a bookmark! Such a fun day! Lots of texts, calls, and facebook messages too!! :)

Ari and I had a cloud theme today! We played fill the cloud with raindrops (while doing addition and word families), used a gameboard with clouds to learn time, read in the reading book, ate and read cloud books "in the clouds" (which were beanbags and pillows on a blue blanket)... So much fun!!!! :)

I'm so disappointed that I forgot my camera for the superbowl party... We went to Cyndi and Dave's house. The girls had a great time with Solana, and I got to hold and feed Chloe!!!!!! Plus, Cyndi made 7 layer dip and this yummy tres leches cake!!!! YUM!

It snowed a lot today, but the roads were ok to go out... The girls and I went to Chelsea's baby shower. She asked them if they wanted to help open the huge present. :)

Kylie's friend Allison called her tonight... So funny to hear Kylie not knowing what to say exactly. :)

Today didn't turn out at all like it was supposed to... Kylie came in and told me that she had a sore throat this morning... So, I cancelled Ari and I's eye appointments, called for a doctor appointment (we were put on the waiting list, but got one later), called the school to get homework and tell them she was absent, did some laundry and dishes in between, went to the doctor, stopped at the school...

Our Elf gave the girls "snow" for Christmas, and we tried it out today. You add water to some stuff that's similiar to what's in diapers. Then, watch it expand into "snow." They used it for hours with Pet Shops. :)

Mixing up the Quickcrete to cover the floor... But, after dumping it on, Jas realized that it wasn't the right stuff... So, he had to scrape it up quickly...

Update: we had to give up on the concrete painting because it ended up being almost as expensive as laminate or tile with the cost of the right Quickcrete being $48 a bag... :(

Ari is sick with a sore throat and ear infection. We went to the doctor and Walmart today. Then, after picking Kylie up we stopped for icees at from the gas station.

Today, Ari's Kindergarten Registration paper came home with Kylie... Kylie and Ari were really excited, but Mommy's not...

Kylie's first boy problems... Today, Brayden told another little girl that he liked her more than Kylie... So, technically, this was her first break-up... :( Poor thing was all sad, and Daddy was trying to make her feel better here... So sweet... I remember sitting on my dad's lap and crying for my first break-up too (only I was in high school)...

I got up this morning and found the girls so cute together on the couch watching tv.

CRAZY NIGHT last night!!!!! Jas and I were in bed when he thought about the possibility that we could have lead paint in our house... This would be a huge problem because he had just sent up paint dust all over the place... He got up and started checking online, and it said lead paint was outlawed in 1978. After checking our house papers, we learned that our house was built in 1978. GREAT!!!! So, we tried to ask some people and even tried calling the ER to see if anyone knew anything... no luck... So, we woke up the kids and headed to Jas' parents to spend the night... Jas got up and found a lead test today. Thankfully, we didn't have lead!! We all got to stay in our house and didn't have to worry about finding someone to clean lead out of everything!

I made 2 pans of lazagna today, and it's a good thing I finished before Jas did this... He rented a sander and got most of the paint off the concrete, but it was a HUGE mess... He had to put up sheets to block the dust from going in all the other rooms, and then had to end up doing it wet... This threw the paint water all over the newly painted walls... pretty discouraging night for both of us...

I totally didn't feel like getting groceries today, but I did it... yay, me! :)

I had to cheat becuase I didn't take a picture today. I've been drinking tea at nights lately, and I always love the little messages on Splenda packets... This is one of my favorites: "Being sweet is contagious. Go ahead, spread it around."

book + tea + bath = :)

You should have heard the giggles when Wookiee joined the girls in the tub! They loved it! :)
