VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY AT EMMA'S

Helping dish up spaghetti noodles!!!

Good Day---We went to Bk for breakfast (I think--I will catch up on posts someday) Came home and they were showing our house at 1:30 ---so G laid with daddy for a nap--did not work for her it always does for daddy :) --so I put her in the van and drove around until Emma's valentine party at 3 pm---Daddy went to a movie (when was the last time I saw a movie in the theater???) Ok--I did see Madasgascar 2 --doesnt count!!! Ha !!

Emmas party was fun the kids played outside and G borrowed a jacket from Emma which was a big deal for her to wear someone elses jacket! They had crafts and decorated cookies--although Gretchie was too busy to decorate hers so Stephanie ( Emmas mom made her one) The mommys got bath lotion and we came home and made spaghetti!!

VALENTINES IN THE MAIL!!

Gretchen has been blessed with TWO SETS of grandparents that love her so much! They both even sent valentine cards in the mail!! These pictures are her opening both her cards and she gave them hugs and carried them around & reading them over and over! Papa and Nana's valentines came on Friday and Papa and Amma's valentine came Saturday the 14th--although she wore her black sparkle shirt for three days---ha! Yes--I did sneak in a washing!! Valentine's day at our house lasted all week----although mommy wanted to make heart cokies--she had packed all the cookie cutters !!!

SICK??? TIRED?? FRIDAY 13th!!!

Probably not the safest way to have a patient lie on the counter!

Miss DRAMA!!! I have to laugh because her face makes it look soooo sick! When I said act sick!!

Bonked her head!

Cute pose--in her new shirt she got at Target yesterday in Yakima!!

Elephant preschool ontinues with a great scholar!!

ahhhhh--

Valentine meal and waiting for daddy to come home!

WHAT A WEEK ---Meltdown after meltdown---started on Tuesday after nap and woke up crying and would not let me in her room!!! Ok---I assumed she woke up stuffy and maybe a sore throat?? But she always wakes up talking nonstop or smiling and hugs!! I counted 6 meltdowns all over silly stuff from Tuesday nap to Friday!! Missing dad?? Thursday I was exausted trying to get her through these so we went to Tricities and bought Lee a bible cover for VDay!!! We went shopping at Value Village and got me a swimsuit for $3.99!!! She was fine and loves shopping but had a hard time getting her into the carseat ---she fell asleep about 1:30 --so instead of driving home (thirty min) I went the opposite way and drove to Yakima (hour) We went out to Mexican dinner with daddy and Uncle Sid! Very fun and then drove home (two hours) late !! Mommy needed to see daddy toooo!! Friday Gretchie was worse---with silly meltdowns not even making sense why she would get so frustrated or fall apart!!

***whatever the problem..................we have not had any meltdowns since!!!

Friday February 13th ----11 years ago my husband proposed to me-and it has not been the same since---good I mean!!! Ha!!

TRICITIES then off to Yakima!! (Th-12)

DINNER WITH DADDY AND UNCLE SID IN YAKIMA!!! SHE HAD TO PUT HER NEW SPARKLE SHIRT ON TO HAVE DINNER WITH HER TWO FAVORITE MEN!!! HA!
TO BE SO FASHION SENSE AT THREE CRACKS ME UP LATELY!!! SHE PICKS OUT ALL HER OUTFITS AND TRIES TO MATCH EVERYTHING!!! SHE THEN LOOKS IN HER LONG LENGTH MIRROR TO SEE IF IT LOOKS GOOD!!!

MOMMY AND GRETCHIE (W-11)
