Ice skating is heaven

If I wait one more day I will have posted once a month! Not so good.

My youngest turned 7 this month...due to scheduling and events she had 3 birthday parties. Talk about celebrating ALL month long...this is a good thing when you're 7!

Here are the invitations I made for her "school friends party." She had her heart set on ice-skating. Thank God for indoor rinks. The card doesn't open, but has a pocket on the front where we slipped in a card with all of the party information.

Montana...or bust

Quick funny kid conversation...The girls and I were talking about where we would want to go on vacation. I think the grey Seattle winter is getting to us! We were talking about France and Italy and Turkey (oldest refuses to go to Turkey because "it's so dangerous"...she's danger-phobic!). Went from big talk about Europe to "hey! I'd rather go to Montana!" WHAT?!?! How do you get from sitting on the beach in Italy to Montana?! Apparently they're missing their "cousins" who moved there a few years ago. Yes, Grevious...we miss you enough to skip Italy and go to Montana!

Love you more than...

Every night when I tuck my kids into bed, rather than just saying "I love you" we say "I love you more than......" I usually fill in the blank with "dark chocolate" or "sunshine" or "the beach." They usually fill in the blank with "playing video games" or "stuffed animals." The best part is when I say something and their eyes get huge because I found something really good to fill in the blank!

For Valentine's Day I made a little wall-hanging for their rooms. I included a little mirror because what little girl doesn't need a mirror for putting on lipstick (of course our lipstick is really Coca-cola flavored chapstick...you would think they had died and gone to heaven!).

Now if I could figure out how to add more photos and put them where I want them.....
