Bodacious Birthday

Today my Bodacious (her new name) girl turned 7! E has been so excited the last couple of days that she has been bouncing off the walls! After she went to bed last night, we blew up 30 pink balloons and filled her room with them. She was up bright and early at 6:30 this morning, begging to open presents. She even got to have birthday cake for breakfast, once we finally extinguished the magical relighting candles that I accidentally bought! We then sent her to school with cupcakes and blowpops for all of her friends. I think she was most excited about having her name announced during the morning announcements. I can't believe she is 7!!! Happy Birthday, E!!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

It's a very cold (10 degrees) and white Valentine's Day here in Longmont! Grandma fixed heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast and the kids even had a little candy. I must tell you about the perfect card I happened upon for D for Valentine's Day. This is what it said:


On the front:
Sometimes I'll hear you
doing something and it will
remind me that we share
a life together, and I smile.

Inside:
Then I hear a thud,
a crash, and cursing.
Not quite as nice,
but I still smile.

Sometimes the perfect card just jumps out at you!! Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!!!
