The melting mood

Usually I do not post much about what Andy and I do, because I kinda keep my blog for the kids.... So I will set the scene at 8:oo at our house is kid bed time, anyone who knows both of our kids just go to bed at eight (yes we know how great it is!) the bed time routine is so standard that on Valentines night instead of going out I decided to do a melting pot style dinner(I had just taken the melting pot cooking class so I was feeling brave!), so we put the kids DOWN, but I think that Kash knew that something was UP, I get our ROMANTIC dinner for two started, and out pops Kash, so of course we took him back to bed, but by now he had seen the spread and really knew that something was UP that he needed to be a part of... after a hour and the first course of trying to get him to bed we gave up, needless to say we could have done dinner at 6 for a party of 4! In case you are wondering Kash loved fondue, and you know that things have changed when the first part of the dinner is frustrating, because your child is interrupting, and by the end you are discussing how much fun the 3 of us are having at our romantic Valentines dinner ;D. I'm thinking of making it a weekly dinner, it is healthy and fun, and Kash ate everything which is amazing for such a picky eater.

Valentines breakfast I made heart shaped pancakes and colored them pink Kash thought it was great, Andy had a hard time eating pink pancakes but it was different and fun!

WHY?

Wondering why I still have valentines paper? Well wonder no longer I forgot to post my Valentines day in all the sickness madness!!! We had a great Valentines day we started out the day with gifts, and Kash was HAPPY we gave him the new "miniature gas car" what is what he calls Madagascar (so cute) the day before Valentines Kash and I had stopped to get Andy's gift, and Kash laid his eyes on that new movie, which I had already gotten for him, so he is walking around the store with the new movie promising to be good, to be nice to his sister, anything he could think of, and it was so cute I told him to put the movie back, and he did staring at it all the way out the door I almost bought 2 I felt so bad, but he had a great Valentines morning with his new movie :)

BLAH

There are no pictures to post, and not much to talk about, unless you would like pictures of the inside of the doctors office which I'm sure most of you have seen, and probably not long ago, and if you cannot remember what one is like you are incredibly lucky!!! I could also post many pictures of me laying on the couch with a box of tissue, and my kids in their PJ's at three in the afternoon, or the kids lying on the couch with buckets close by... This month of February has been the worst month since the day I took the job as a stay at home mom, but we are coming out of it and we are all on antibiotics, so I have been cleaning and sanitizing, oh what fun! Hopefully sometime soon we will have some fun times to talk about, see all of you and talk to you soon!!!

The end

If you read this blog from the bottom up it will tell you our story of christmas, we had a great time in Heber we also went ice skating the day after christmas, but my skills were so bad I could not take any pictures without fear of falling, but boy we had a kodak moment, when my mom took the ice first step and slid right into the rink, as she laid there all bundled not able to get up she says "boy that ice is slick" I could not stop laughing! we also went sledding but we took Andys camera, so I need to get his camera for the pictures of that... Hope everyone is doing well, and had a good christmas we will see you some time in the summer ha ha ha...

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells

Santa!!! he found us all in Heber Kate got a baby doll and some ball popper toy, and Kash got a jeep, it is all he wanted, it is all he asked for, so beat that Mr. Conductor!

Dashing

Dashing through the snow in our 2 horsed open sliegh... On Christmas eve we took a sliegh ride, and had dinner this was fun Kash had a smile from ear to ear the entire time, Kate and daddy stayed home from the sleigh ride because it was just to cold, but they did meet us for dinner, and after that it was time for bed for Santa to come!!!

Mr Conductor

Kash was excited when Mrs. Claus came through the train, so that she could tell Santa what Kash wanted, then the train conductor was coming to stamp the tickets, but also at the same time Santa had made his merry way to us, at the same time it was time to get his ticket stamped by the conductor, Santa was also there so like most kids would prefer the conductor moved so that Kash could talk to Santa, at that moment we had a breakdown, Kash was crushed he cried for the conductor, and Santa was in shock (maybe that is why despite Kash not being so good before Christmas Santa decided to leave a great gift anyways, so he could earn his way into Kashs heart), but after all of that the conductor made his way to Kash, and they had a great conversation about trains! Kate did not care for Santa or Mrs. Claus either, she was in love with the elf's. Santa not so popular that night...
