project complete
Do any of you have a million projects setting around in your house or in your mind? Well I do and one at a time I am widdling away at them. I had a goal to finish the boys bedspreads before Christmas but that turned into an unrealistic goal. So then I decided that they would be done before the baby got here and a few days ago the finishing shams were complete! They are no pottery barn but they are bright, cute, oh so cuddly and the boys love them. This is Gabe's because his favorite color is yellow, Jace's is identical except his has red trim for his favorite color. Now maybe we can convince Mike to build Jace's bed before June!

Proud to say he pulled through!
Yesterday Mike asked me what I wanted for Valentines day. I said flowers and he said, "do you want to go pick them out?" I said, "sure." So today I had on my agenda a trip to costco to get me some flowers, but I never made it so I figured I'd get some another time. Well tonight Mike disappeared and left these on the the table. Of course I had to arrange them and I'm not the best at that but they are beautiful and smell so good. So just for the record I love my Mikey.
I reminded him that just 4 years ago he surprised me with my Piano for Valentines day and how I love it. We decided that we would make this a family holiday so we always spend it with the kids. This year we went to Chuckey Cheese and we will not do that on a Saturday ever again. It was a mad house but the kids had fun. Happy LOVE day everyone.Friday, February 6, 2009
Jace quote
I read my friends blogs that always have cute quotes and I regret never sharing any of mine. I write them down in my little book, but this one was blog worthy.
Mike: "Jace where did you get that book?"
Jace: "up high"
Mike: "How did you get up high?"
Jace: "I climbed"
Mike: "don't climb up high or you might fall down and crack your head open"
Jace: ran in the other room and came back with another book HUMPTY DUMPTY "like this guy?"
I don't remember reading that book in a long time. That Jace is a funny kid.
