I have an appt for tomorrow afternoon - I am so excited to leave work a little early!!! I enjoy my long locks and being able to pull it back but I want a break for a bit. I will grow it back out this summer most likely.
I welcome any input!

spur of the moment

Gotta hand it to Joe, he paged me Friday at work and stated he was going to attempt to find a last minute babysitter so we could go out to dinner with our friends, Danny and Rhonda.
He left a message on Chelsea's cell phone and once she was done with school she called back and accepted the challenge.
She showed up at 6:50pm - just as I was finishing up giving Owen a bottle and putting him down for the night. He was so tired - been moving around a little too much.
So she had it pretty easy, Luke was already fed, bathed and in pjs. Just ready to sit down with his friend and watch Nemo.
We were home before 9pm as Danny and Rhonda's oldest wasn't feeling well and the youngest wanted them to come bring her home from their friends' house (they always get free babysitters - no fair).
Anyway - it was a quick, impromptu night out and a great end to my work week.
Luke did another ski lesson with Daddy Saturday am - actually used the chair lift for two runs. Then had a basketball game in the afternoon - this go 'round he's got a new coach and a whole new team. It is not quite as organized and will take a little getting used to.
Sunday was a trip up to Nana and Papa's to get some firewood for Daddy's shop. Luke tried his snowshoes out for the 1st time - did pretty well and Mommy didn't do too bad with her snowshoes on and Owen in the backpack carrier. Lots of warm sunshine for us to soak up for a change too.
Now we are preparing to do some traveling back and forth to Nana and Papa's this week. Joe has friends coming in town from Nebraska for a ski weekend.
My dad turns 60 on Thursday - WOW! Where has the time gone - must mean I am getting up there too! Ugh!

V-day

Still not used to my day off as Thursday instead of Wednesday (only my 2nd week on this schedule). Wednesday was a holiday of sorts though and I made it through. Wednesday truly is hump day for me now.
Joe and I made it out to Qdoba for lunch - yummo nachos!!! Couldn't do dinner with my valentine as he was on duty at church youth group - driving the bus - too funny! So I brought Arby's home to have with my other sweetie.
Lots of sugar came home in cute Valentine bags from Kid Kare for both boys. Owen has recently moved to a different room at Kid Kare - with one year olds although he is only 9 months. They actullay had him painting! What happened to cuddling with my cute baby boy? This baby phase is passing too quickly as it is - I am not ready for all of this.
Anyway - Joe did better than flowers...a 1 hour massage gift certificate! Can't wait to use that - now it is just finding the time. Haven't even been able to schedule a haircut for myself lately!
Luke scored a wooden Henry - which he asked for weeks ago - not sure why he thought gifts were given for Valentine's day - he is getting too smart. Therefore, I had to get little O something.
Joe got a new belt. Not sure it was really something he wanted but definitely something he needed. Perhaps my gift for him wasn't quite as thoughtful as his for me - oops!
Anyway - life goes on! Time to take down the heart decorations - do I even bother with shamrocks???

Luke's 1st ski

Luke had his 1st "ski lesson" with daddy on Big Mountain today!

He did well - had fun - albeit short lived. He certainly has the energy level, just not the attention span!

He rode the magic carpet up and used the harness and ski tip holders. Hopefully we will break free of those before too long but so far so good!

Owen enjoyed being in the backpack carrier with the cool air and sunshine while mommy took pics of big bro! I know that in a few years Joe and I won't be able to find them on the Mountain - why exactly are we teaching him to ski???
