Valentine's Day

The morning started out with a very fancy breakfast made and thought up by Emily, Morgan & Max.

After church we went to the Raleigh's for a delicious lunch prepared by Madison & Peyton.

and of course, a little dancing!

Every Moment is a Miracle

I saw this on another woman's blog and thought it was really worth sharing. It really fits the quote that I have at the top of my blog.

a little bit of this....a little bit of that

Yes Emily got glasses....No they are not real. Emily has been wanting a pair of "fashion" glasses. So today I took her to Claire's and she bought a pair with her own money. She is thrilled. You can't see it but they have some bling on the sides.

Wayne took Morgan & Max to the Monster Truck show today. They had a ball seeing all the huge trucks jump and crash....while Emily and I were at the mall.

Bargain Hunting--Goodwill Style

I have been wanting a lazysusan to hold my glues and paints for my craft closet but I didn't want to spend very much $. I found this scroungy one at Goodwill today for $3.99. A good wipe with a rag and a couple coats of porcelain colored spray paint and there you go.

I don't have a use for this yet, but I couldn't resist. $2.99 for a very ugly, silver, painted, banged up, wooden frame. I knew that a coat of glossy black spray paint would spruce it up.

SuperBowl Party

We had a couple families over today for the SuperBowl. The kids had fun eating snacks, playing basketball, and dancing on the Wii while the parents visited and watched the game.
