Day 49 - Thursday, February 18, 2010

Day 49 - Thursday, February 18, 2010 - It might not be put away, yet, but it's folded. Laundry, oh, how I dread thee.

Day 48 - Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Day 48 - Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - This is what a fancy pregnant lady looks like. At least that's what someone at the PTO Spring Fair committee chairpersons meeting told me. I had gone in to the office today for a client meeting (which meant that I actually showered, dressed, make-upped, and coiffed), then I took the kids out to dinner after work, then I went to the ninth grade parent orientation night at the high school, and then I went to the PTO meeting at Starbucks. It was a busy day, and I was surprised when someone at PTO asked me why I was so fancy for a PTO meeting, especially being pregnant! Like I got all dressed up just to discuss the silent auction class baskets, games, and decorations with half a dozen other women from the boys' elementary school.

Day 47 - Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Day 47 - Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - Tonight Jordyn and I went through the 2010-2011 Oxford High School Course Catalog and Class of 2014 Graduation requirements to determine what her ninth grade schedule for next year should look like. Holy Moly, I'm going to have a high schooler in the fall!

Day 46 - Monday, February 15, 2010

Day 46 - Monday, February 15, 2010 - I completely did not expect anything from Kevin for Valentine's Day. It's just a Hallmark holiday and we really never do anything over the top. Needless to say, I was shocked when he presented me with this gift from our local jewelers. It's a pair of delicate white gold hoop earrings that I had picked out and put on a "wish list" (at the jeweler's insistence) back in December when we were in the store getting Kevin's watch repaired. It did put a much needed smile on my face. What did I give Kevin for Valentine's Day? A hug. Even trade.

Day 45 - Sunday, February 14, 2010

Day 45 - Sunday, February 14, 2010 - We celebrated Valentine's Day as a family today. First we went to Casa Real where they had heart shaped tortilla chips and then we all went bowling. Liam secretly asked Kevin for a dollar to try and win a prize for Owen out of one of those claw machines. Kev gave it to him, thinking, Yeah, whatever, you just want to go play games. And wouldn't you know it, Liam came back to the table with two stuffed animals that he promptly gave away to both Owen and Jordyn as Valentine's presents. It was the sweetest thing ever!

Day 44 - Saturday, February 13, 2010

Day 44 - Saturday, February 13, 2010 - Aaron came with us to Liam's wrestling tournament in Holly today. Liam took home another bronze medal and enjoyed having his cousin there to cheer him on.

Day 43 - Friday, February 12, 2010

Day 43 - Friday, February 12, 2010 - Owen received this free kids meal coupon from his teacher for showing kindness the other day. Apparently, someone's boot fell off while he was on the monkey bars and Owen picked up the kid's boot and put it back on his foot. Owen might be a loner and have a hot temper, but it's nice to know he can be kind, too. Of course it didn't take us long to cash in the coupon since we practically live at B-Dub's as it is and it has recently become our Friday night thing to do with the Parsons family.
