OMG OMG OMG OMG!

We just had an offer/invitation for a trip to Disney!  I am so excited, we hadn't really planned to take Emma until she was a little older, but when you get an offer you can't refuse you take it!

Looks like we will be taking Emma in October during the week of her 3rd birthday!

So my consistent bloggy friends, what would be most appropriate to do for a child Emma's age?

I already have her in training.....

Saturday Morning and Safe Haven

I so LOVED Lexi, the little girl in the movie.  Hands down she stole the show and my heart!  I really enjoyed the movie, I had read the book but I have since then forgotten most of the details.  I couldn't remember the ending so that kept me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath that it wasn't who I was afraid it would be!   The only thing I disliked about it was Josh Duhamel's hair.  For some reason it drove me CRAZY!


This morning Emma has been following me around while I tried to do some cleaning up.  She decided this was a lovely outfit to wear around the house and then she chased Knox around trying to dress him.

Let's get this weekend started

Emma and I are flying solo until tomorrow night.  No big plans just going to hang out. Well, I am ditching Emma to go watch "Safe Haven" tonight with some friends.  Today when I went to pick Emma up from school she was getting ready to finger paint.  She informed me that she was not leaving until she painted.  Three masterpieces later she was ready to go!

Brusha Brusha Brusha

Today was dentist day.  I had my 6 month check up and so Emma came along as well.  I'm pretty lucky in that my sister-in-law is my hygienist and we have been getting Emma use to the office and the routine.  She went a few months ago with her dad and played with the dinosaur and giant toothbrush and Barbara brushed her teeth the normal way.  Today she reluctantly sat on my lap but then opened her mouth to have her teeth counted and polished.  She even loved the suction straw.  I was so proud of her that no tears were shed and she wasn't scared.

Saying Goodbye

As I posted before the whole of last week had been exhausting.  Justin was pretty much sick and out of commission the entire week.  We were on standby for Justin's Papa Bill.  Luckily we were able to take Emma to see him Tuesday while he was still responsive.  They waved and blew each other kisses.  Sweetest memory ever, I cry every time I think of it!

Friday morning Justin called me and I left work swiftly to get him out to the hospital.  His grandfather passed away shortly after.  So our weekend was spent doing the typical family/funeral things. 

To top all of it off this morning I went to get into my car and my battery was DOA.  Car would not start at all.  Then on the way to the funeral I was pulled over and earned a ticket from a police office who didn't have the compassion to let us go after we told him where we were going and what the circumstances was.  I don't respect people who don't have a kind heart...

Hugs and Kisses

 

I will briefly fill you in on my life this week.  Justin has been so sick.  Went to the doctor Monday with a fever and was told it was a cold, went back Wednesday and was told it was pneumonia! Tonight is the first night I have been home before 8 o'clock.  We got a phone call Tuesday night that Justin's grandfather is extremely ill and is not expected to recover.  

So to sum it up, I'm exhausted!

All I have right now is a photo of Emma's Valentine's Day card to share. 

Have a good heart day make sure you hug and kiss everyone you love!

Catching up

I'm not really exciting.  We had another snow day on Monday.  Tuesday we finally got back to work and the week went pretty quick and the kids were mostly behaved!

Friday afternoon Emma has a quick photo shoot for Valentine's day and then I loaded up and went to South Carolina all by myself!  It was my first solo trip since sometime in 2010. I only did an over night trip and it was nice.  I didn't have to worry about anyone waking up and I didn't have to try to entertain Emma at a house that wasn't ours! 
Ashley and I went for a nice walk and ran just a tad bit.  Then we stopped for some Starbucks.  We went to my new favorite foodie place, Chipotle.  We then shopped at some of my favorite places, REI, Loft, Utla, and Carter's before stopping at the zoo to see the baby giraffe!  It was a nice quick trip, but I missed my girl and I was happy to get home last night and see her!

Speaking of Emma today is her 28th monthday!!! 

Have a great week!
