On Friday the 13th, R and I dropped the girls off at my parent's house for a sleep-over. Mom & Dad were going to watch the girls so we could have our Valentine date night and then we would pick them up on Saturday around 3pm. We were very excited about the prospect of sleeping in on Saturday! Sad, I know, but that's life AK (after kids). We had a pretty leisurely Saturday - I slept until 9:30! Had breakfast and pretty much just lounged around until about 1:30 when we headed to Lowe's to pick up a new ceiling fan for the bedroom. We picked up the kids and took this picture for the day:
My cute mom and my girls. We love you!
Sunday was a dreary & gray day so we just hung around the house again. R made the girls pink heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast and then spent about 2 hours installing the new fan.
Today the kids were out of school (again) for President's Day. We started the morning at the library where I was approached by a woman who wanted to know where the Dewey Decimal system was. I pointed her to the computers and told her how to search there. She was amazed that it was all computerized now. Must have been a few years since she'd been in the library. My girls chose some books and I picked up 2 for myself: Queen of Babble in the Big City and Boy Next Door. I've read a few of Meg Cabot's books before and find them very funny. Check her out if you get the chance.
Then we headed to Toys R Us because Georgia wanted to spend the $5 she got for Valentine's day. She chose the Crayola Color Surge pack. Toys R Us had about half the store on clearance it seemed and everything that was on clearance was an extra 20% off and also lots of buy one get one free deals. Irelyn chose a Littlest Pet Shop pet and then Georgia picked out another one since it was *free* and then I picked up the Cranium game - Balloon Lagoon for $7 (after extra discounts)!! And took this picture after we checked out:
The girls like to "pretend" to ride the coin operated rides. I actually had the change on me to let them ride them, but they chose to just pretend. Crazy kids, but hey, we saved $1.
