Happy Birthday to Me

On Wednesday Scott was gone most of the day so I took advantage of that time and painted the office all day. By the time he got home around 9:00 I was three fourths done. Scott was good enough to help me finish the last wall that night. That was the wall with his heavy bookshelves that I couldn't have moved them by myself. We painted until 11:30 that night. Now I am finally finished! Woot!

Thursday was my birthday. Scott left early and came back with treats and fresh flowers. I used to think I was too practical and didn't like fresh cut flowers (waste of money, live a couple days). But I've decided that I do like getting flowers. I have loved them! He then cooked us breakfast. For lunch we decided last minute to meet Scott at Taco Bell for lunch. It was really fun. It was spontaneous and we never go there. The kids were super good and it was fun. I then took the three little ones to Wal-mart and headed home. I made myself my annual pumpkin cake for my birthday. So yummy and so unhealthy. Scott came home and we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. Scott had to go to work after that. I put the little ones to bed and Corbin and I did facetime with Carole and baby Hannah. She is so cute. That night I had a girls night at my house. We haven't had one in a few months so it was extra fun.

On Friday I got a babysitter and Scott and I went on a birthday date. We went to Red Robin and then shopping with my birthday money. I found some good stuff despite not feeling well. As soon as we got to the mall I got a headache but we don't get babysitters often and I rarely have money to spend at the mall so I powered through.

Scott made his first sale this week! That is exciting. Go Scott. Cheers to many more sales to come.

Now that I've finished my home improvements I really want to focus more on Corbin's sight words and reading in general and Gabby's preschool. Those are my goals at this point. That's all.

Play Date and kids playing outside. It was freezing, (Piper bare feet). My kids love being outside. Ryan LOVES being outside. He's been super crabby all week and so we've been outside a lot.

Another play date.

Ryan with shoes! I had to breakdown and buy him shoes. I'm a barefeet baby kind of girl, but when your baby is active in the winter time they need shoes.

Birthday dinner. These kids stealing my soda.
