HAPPY VALENTINE'S AND A "MINI" VACATION

Can you guess what we had for our Valentine's dinner... RIBS! We had Daddy's favorite dinner , although this year the kids ended up eating more than he did! The kids could not wait to get downstairs bright and early to open their gifts, and eat a little chocolate before breakfast!

Matt and I celebrated our Valentine's during the week with a night out by ourselves! It was a very relaxing dinner with yummy food!

Sunday we took off for our "mini" vacation to casino Niagara! We let the kids go swimming, rented a movie in the room, ordered room service and called it a night! Matt snuck off to TRY to win some money while we were all in bed! No luck in the winning department this time around. We made a quick trip to the butterfly conservatory Monday. It was quick because we ended up dragging Jack and Spencer out the door screaming and kicking! That is what happens when 2 yr old boys stay up late and don't nap!! Lincoln was the only lucky one to get a butterfly to land on him.....

THE CURSE OF FEBRUARY....

For the past two years Feb. has been a rough month for us. The first year the twins had R.S.V and had to visit the emergency room. Last year after getting the flu shots they both got the flu with the stomach bug soon after. It ran its course through the entire house. Well this year we were hoping for a better month. We started the month with Addy having P.J day at school, she loved it! She was soo excited to wear the silky pj's that Grandma gave her!! So far so good.. everyone healthy..... Read on!!! The past two weeks we have had the following illnesses: Lincoln stomach bug(2x), Jack and Spencer walking pneumonia with ear infections, Addy ear infections (also had to get her ear's flushed...not a pretty sight!), and hopefully the grand finale this weekend was Matt throwing up so loud it shook the house!!!

This is poor little Spencer! I came upstairs to put him down for his nap and he was curled up on my pillows already asleep! He loves that spot on my bed, I have several pictures of him watching his shows and you can only see his head over my pillows- Well we have 2 weeks left of this month, a move on the 28th and hopefully a germ free house!!!!
