Valentine's Weekend Randoms

Celebrating Valentine's Day tonight. Steak and champagne and hopefully so adult time.

Sunday we're doing a video chat with all the grandparents so they can watch DS smash his cake. I need to bake the cake.

Stuck the bananas in the fridge to speed up ripening. I'm going to try blueberries as natural food coloring so I need to cook those down. Blueberry sauce for pancakes or French Toast or even oatmeal is an added bonus.

OMG it's f'ing freezing out there today! The weather report said feels like -45. I took DD1 to swimming and my skin felt like it was burning.

I guess we are staying in today!

I was so late to work today! Alarm didn't go off and V slept in, and so I snoozed away blissfully.

My sister and her bf are running in a Valentines race today, they are all dressed up cute for it too. I wish I could go cheer them on.

Today was DD's birthday party! Eight people (two families of four) cancelled this morning because they were sick but those of us that made it had fun. DD loved her smash cake and probably would have eaten it all if I hadn't taken it from her (ran out of time and way too much sugar).

DS has been at my ILs all day so DH and I could have a day to ourselves. We went out for lunch and then came home for video games and adult time, which I think was a better choice that going to the movies

Tonight we were all kind of in a funky mood. It's been a busy, long, sicky winter. So we made frozen pizza and watched Home. Perfect medicine.

kartish I'm paranoid about being late. I set two alarms for this reason. Hopefully your employer/employees were understanding. The hospital I work at is so unforgiving about these sort of things, as if life never happens or gets in the way...

Yay @holachica congratulations!

[kartish]

dreemkin I set two alarms on my mandatory days because being late on those days affects more than just me, it screws everyone else up too. But Saturdays thank goodness it just meant I stay late to make it up.

Right now I'm making waffles for my boys who are showering right now. Then church and then DH and I are going to the hot springs!

Congrats @holachica!

Happy Valentines Day ladies!

I did a test run of cupcakes for DD's birthday yesterday. My ILs and DH said they though they were great but I thought the cake was a little too dense. They looked awesome though. We did give one to DD - she loved the frosting but not the cake.

[lilyelayne]

@holachica ahhhh yay!!!! Congratulations!

Congrats @holachica!!

Low key day here. DH and DS are in the backyard playing and cleaning up a bit since it's finally gorgeous and not cold/rainy/windy out. (Sorry east coasters!)

Still haven't figured out what we're doing for dinner tonight. We never go out but usually try to do something a little more exciting than leftovers which is what would otherwise be on the menu tonight. Guess I should get on that. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Congratulations @holachica!

Video chat went well. My dad missed it for church and my sister couldn't figure out Google hangouts. Boo. DS was more interested in eating the blueberries I used to make a 1 on his cake than in the actual cake. H gave him a spoon to use a and tried to show him that he could use the spoon on the cake. But he didn't want to eat it. Guess I didn't need to worry about sugar content.

@holachica congrats!!!

@holachica congrats!

Well the hot springs was chock full of people and DH and I said no way. DNW to be that close to that many half naked people.

Too cute. DD would have done the same thing. Skipped the cake and eaten the blueberries

@holachica congrats!

We're sleep training this weekend and CIO is breaking my heart. Also a good thing the other sleeping bags were clean. I hate this, but H is right that I can't be the only thing that will put him to sleep.

Just popping in to say hello! Happy valentines day etc.
Not all too much news from here. We had DSs birthday party yesterday and are completely shattered. My ILs are here and driving me absolutely up a tree, but the morning sickness is too strong for DH and I to go out and do something in the evenings. Big shame! I wanted to go see deadpool! Back at work this morning and laughing at my to do list. It's just not gonna happen in time for the conference deadline, so I might as well kick back, improvise something and eat some chocolate. ommmmnomnomnomnom!

I heard it's really cold on the east coast at the moment! Pack up warm and snug everyone, I hope it passes soon!

TLDR: HIIIIII EVERYBODYYYYY!

Congrats @holachica. I'm so happy for you all!
