picture perfect

so after baths and getting ready for bed anabelle wanted me to take some pictures. well. they are quite interesting. we were trying to get the "perfect" shot. and it didnt quite happen! enjoy!

valentine's day.

i had decided to celebrate v day on the 13th because my sister in law offered to watch the kids for us so i took the chance to do what i wanted a day early!! after i dropped the kids off i ran a few errands.

-victoria's secret for a special outfit!

-the store for candles/rose petals/dvd/card/picture frame/stuffed animals

-came home to get ready and the house ready


my extravigant idea was to use petals and candles as a path leading to our bedroom. put petals + candles on our bed. (there was about 80+ candles all over the house, very scary but pretty at the same time) i made little instruction messages for drew to do before coming to the bedroom. very cute! he was surprised which i didnt think was possible! i had talked to his mom about my idea along with a few other people so i was a little worried they might spill the beans! anyway, he was REALLY surprised and it made me VERY happy! after our night of fun i was going to make him a nice dinner but he didnt want me to do anymore work so we went to ihop at almost 2am!


valentines day we slept in and then he surprised me with a trip to the jewelry store! i picked out a right handed ring. which is awesome! i love it! after that we had lunch together at a bbq place and then ran by to pick up the kids but they were out so we came home spent some more time together before he went in to work. the rest of the day was spent hanging out with my kids and i gave them their vday treats!


here are some pics of the evening! enjoy!


ps - vday was drew and i's couple anniversary of 7 years!! (i know it doesnt count but i wanted to throw that out there)

and here is my ring.

wall.e

so anabelle watches ratatouille OVER and OVER again. along with other great ones. but this one for some reason stands out. because of this clip!

"wall.e"




anabelle says it like he does. its so cute! i can't wait to see this movie! i'm such a nerd for enjoying disney movies. "meet the robinsons" is my favorite right now. LOVE it! okay well anyway! my children are giving me a hard time. too much time spent on the computer at once i suppose!

ps before i go, i want to add 2 more movies i want to see!

weekend review.

friday - didnt do a whole lot. i'm still trying to get over being sick. so the kids and i just stayed in like we did the rest of the week. i tried watching the new movie my hubby got me but it wont play for some odd reason. thats the 3rd dvd now that wont play in our player. i'm wondering if its the dvd player! not too good. we have horrible luck with dvd players. so after i put the kids down for bed i watched bourne ultimatum. its really good. i haven't seen the other 2 for quite some time. i'm anxious to seem em now!

saturday - i finally decided to venture out. the kids and i went to target for a while. i bought a few things there. a toy for liz's new puppy "panda" her and her hubby have 2 papillons now. and they are so cute!! after target we went to my mother in laws for a relaxed evening of cheeseburgers and canasta. boy one game took 5 hours. it was insane! it wore me out. i'm glad i got out but i REALLY should have stayed home and went to bed early. ahwell. i get restless!

sunday - i started cleaning after days of not doing much of anything. and i'm VERY irritated. my children have entirely TOO many toys. i'm getting rid of a bunch. its not needed. especially when they end up all over the floor and you can't see much of the floor! its time to retire the oldies! i'm going to upset anabelle i know but i cant handle it anymore! don't know when drew will be home from work but i'm hoping sooner than later! we need a date night BADLY.

i sent an order in to walgreens for some pictures to be printed off. i need to go buy some picture frames now. i'm tired of seeing bare walls. been in my house for over a year now and still it looks bare. i really need to paint the walls. they are getting the "children live here" look. and although children REALLY do live here, i would like a fresh looking house. bah! well i have more house cleaning to finish up! yay!

missin' him

my hubby has been working a ton of overtime and he has been taking advantage of the double overtime on the weekends. i hate to sound selfish but i miss him. TERRIBLY! he works 2nd during the week so he sleeps in until he has to get up for work so i dont get to spend time with him during the day. i wait up for him at night but its still not good quality time. our 7 year anniversary is coming up (not marriage of course) and he'll be working and i want to do something really special but how can i plan something like that during the day...especially when he needs his sleep? i have something really special planned for when he comes home but i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a dinner date. maybe even a movie.

ahwell. it will all come together soon right?

friday - mom and i spent the day together. i picked ashley up from school. mom and i played canasta. then i went to bed, i was starting to feel sicky.

just in case you were wondering - anabelle has been peeing in her panties, she i threaten her with diapers! and it happened as you can see. now for alex...my mom bought the wrong gender diapers. lol..so alex is wearing girlie diapers! BUT they were playing together without fighting. that shocked the hell out of me!



saturday - mom came over again! we went to texas roadhouse and target. went home to get ready for a fun evening out with adults! went to the looney bin with my mother in law and her husband, 2 of her friends, rocky (drew's brother) and jacquee. it was hilarious! after that we headed to scotch and soda for lots of drinks. i thought i lost my wallet but i really didnt. thank goodness!
