Cheap Thrills

A couple weeks ago my washer and dryer died so we went out and found the fabulous Whirlpool Cabrios. The kids were fascinated with them, they have glass lids so the first time I used them they spent at least 20 minutes watching the clothes wash. Well, I thought it would get old eventually but here we are, 2 weeks later and they are still totally fascinated with them. When they are bored I say, "Hey, lets go do a load of laundry!" and they jump at it. Doesn't take much to amuse my kids!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We didn't go out to dinner or even exchange gifts for Valentine's Day, instead we stayed home with the kiddos. We did, however, make a special dessert, chocolate fondue.

We had pound cake, pretzels, cheesecake, brownies, marshmallows, bananas, and strawberries, all dipped in Ghiradelli chocolate.

All of that and all JJ wanted was the plain strawberries, he didn't know what he was missing!

Alli, on the other hand, loved everything. I think she would have taken the chocolate by IV if possible!

Hope your Valentines Day was as sweet as ours!

Paint, Paint, Paint

Last week my friend Kit came over and helped me pick out some paint colors for the house. Here is a sneak peak of what I've done so far. One wall down, a lot more to go!!
