A lull in the chaos of life

Things have been chaotic, not in the negative sense, just crazy! E got terribly sick with Roseola the week of Valentine's, which was sad to see my peanut so pathetic and sick. I totally took advantage of some serious snuggle time and we stayed in our PJ's pretty late a couple of days (love it!). After E started feeling better, we were both very tired of being indoors. We took advantage of some great weather all last week, went to the zoo, went to the park (three times). When the weather took a nose dive Friday, we went to lunch and then the aquarium with Auntie Christy. Saturday, E's bestie, A had her fabulous second birthday butterfly extravaganza! Such an adorable party and so much fun! Then E's BB came for dinner. Sunday, we had dinner with some great friends and all the littles. In between all this action, I have been planning E's second birthday party and our trip to Florida, no big deal. I am denial that this SATURDAY my sweet baby boy is turning two. Not really a baby so much anymore. His chubby cheeks are now becoming contoured. He has a big boy haircut. He now calls to me in the mornings, "Momma, Where are YOU?" when he wants me to come grab him. Sigh, it seems like yesterday that I was big and preggo. Anticipating meeting our peanut, sitting in the nursery soaking in all the beauty of such an incredibly exciting time. Nothing could have prepared me for how lost in love I was going to be for such a cute little boy. My peanut is going to be TWO! Enjoy some pics of last week's events. XOXO

Yummy icing!

Cheese!

Aren't these glasses fab-u-lous?!

Love is in the air


Today was E's school Valentines Day party! It was his first time handing out valentines. Yes, he actually put them in everyone's mailbox :). We made our valentines this year, and I think they came out super cute. We had fun making them, which makes it for me. I also was missing my days of baking treats for all of my teacher buddies, so I got my bake on...hardcore. I made some sea salt caramels, rolo stuffed chocolate chip cookies, and double chocolate brownies. We have been distributing goodies to good friends and neighbors as to not eat them all. In other exciting news, we also have began the process to "restore" the front vestibule to its grandeur. Heaven help us. Its been SO LONG since we have done a major project, that we were dreading the start. Good news is all the demo is done, and there were no surprises that would lead to making this more complicated (which is a first in this house). I'll keep you posted on progress, as we are both very excited to see this project complete! Here are some pics from today, enjoy! xoxoxo
