I think today went pretty well! Lets see Joe and Molly were up first. Well technically Paul was up and out of the house first. He had a commercial shot to go on today so he left me in charge of his business phone..yay...ummmm not!!! hahaha! Anyways, they got up and I got them breakfast. They played pretty well together today. Nick slept until around 9:30, I guess he still needed to get caught up on sleep.They played outside some of the day and Nick played Guitar Hero over at our nieghbors house.
I did get a lesson in first impressions today. I was making dinner (german cabbage stew with sausage and dumplings) and someone knocked at the door Nick answered it and called me to the door. I think I looked pretty mad and it turned out to be our new nieghbor hahaha!! So I had to apologize to him for looking so ticked! Then I had to go move pauls truck that we had parked there to make the empty house look "lived in"
After dinner Paul got home and I took the boys to The Christmas Tree Shop and picked up a few things for St. Patricks Day then we ran to Michaels and I picked up a few bird houses that we will paint on Wednesday. Pretty happy with today, oh I also cleaned the bathroom and did 3 loads of laundry.

Crazy Valentine's Day!!!
I tell ya!!! What a weird day yesterday was!! Let's see. The day started around 3:30 am Paul got a call and he decided to go out on it. Which is fine! He then got in around 5:30 and showered up and headed out on another one(he wound up not getting in due to more runs until about 3 in the afternoon!) Joe and Molly and I had a relativley quiet morning. I exercised for a mile on my exercise equipment. I was using my perdometer. Then Molly and I ran a valentine over to a nieghbors and visited with them and thier kitty. When we got home I shoveled. Came in to check out on ym pedometer how much i earned and wow! What a surprise apparently it did not count anything I did after my workout in the house!! How does that happen??
Around 1 the phone rings, I looked at caller ID and it was cell phone number i did not recognize. So i answered it and heard the dreadeed words. Brenda, this is Jess, I have Nick, DO NOT PANIC....pretty much if your calling me and telling me you have my kid and not to panic...what will i do???PANIC!!! I still dont know the full story but there was sledding hill accident he was in and became disoriented and they thought he might have broken his nose!! Hes 3 hours away!!! Thankfully about 2 hours later I got the confirmation that everything was ok!!! Yay!!! We then took Joe to his soccer game and went out to dinner. We really wanted to eat at Red Robin but the wait was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to long so we wound up at Big Boys and wound up running into a coworker of mine and his wife and some friends of ours from scouts!! It was an interesting day to say the least!!! I had a hard time sleeping because my brain just did not want to shut down!!!

not much new
in our house as of late! But I still felt the need to post here. Tonight Paul is teaching Cub Scouts, Aquanauts at the pool. It is during Open Swim time so he took Joe with him so Joe could get some exercise today. Molly and I did up the labels for her Valentines. Her preschool is not having a party, I thought that was a bit odd but i'm not the teacher! They are letting the kids pass things out though so thats good!
Tonight I tried a new recipe for mini italian meatloaves. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans. The guys all liked it! I was happy molly ate half her mashed potatoes which was great for her and she even managed to get 1 green bean down.It took about 4 mouthfuls of milk before she was ok to eat anything else! She just will not eat them. Oh well tonight was a huge improvement in her veggie eating status! i knew she wouldnt touch the meatloaf either so she had Chicken tenders.

Fun Day today
Paul decided to take Molly and I on a breakfast date this morning. We saw the commercial that Denny's was giving away free Grand Slams to everyone and we figured we'd go check it out. Don't worry my diet supporters I saw the Grand Slam was at least like 17 points for WW and I was only going to eat the eggs and Molly would eat whatever else off the plate that she wanted!!!
Well needless to say EVERYONE decided to go today and we did not feel like waiting out in the line in 15 degree temps. So we went to Phoenix Coney Island instead. They also were packed but we only had to wait for a table to be cleared! I guess Denny's helped stimulate the economy for all the other restaraunts too!!
After Denny's we went to Target where I showed Paul an adorable shirt and skirt outfit i wanted to get for Molly, we got that, an adorable little bermuda short and shirt outfit, and another scooter skirt and tshirt. So her spring/summer wardrobe is off to a roaring start! I LOVE having a girly girl to dress!!! She adores everything and was holding up skirts and shirts she "thought" matched!!
We also checked out The Christmas Tree Shoppe, I really liked it! I'll be keeping it in mind for seasonal decorations and what not!

February 1st and Superbowl Sunday!
Ya know what I love? I have loved this for well over 15 years too....it's gonna sound funny....but I love the smell of the church parking lot on SuperBowl sunday. It has been a tradition for quite some years that the youth group gathers extremly early in the morning and makes subs that people have ordered for a few weeks before hand! Nick participated last year(as did I) in the tradition but I did not let him this year. Just due to the fact he had a busy saturday and I felt he needed rest sunday. So all day today we have been nibbling on the yummy subs!! I had just a tiny sliver because I really would like some chips and dips tonight!!! Dont fear though my diet followers my friend and I walked over two miles together earlier today!!!
