Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's day. It started off early because we had to make a 45 minute trip to Irmo, to take Adalyn in for her 12 month checkup. She weighs 20 pounds and she got 3 shots. When we got back home, I was dying of stomach cramps. I took a little 10 minute nap before Cayce had to go to work. He came home around 5:30 last night, and we got our federal tax refund back last night. I was soo happy. The girls made some cards yesterday and I made chicken marsala last night for Cayce and I.

Rain Rain Go Away

It has been raining for the past few days. It has been cold and muggy. I haven't been able to go outside and walk around. Being cooped up in the house is not fun. Today is my mom's birthday. On Sunday, we went over to my parent's house and had a spaghetti dinner, and I gave my mom her birthday presents because I don't get to see her during the week because she is a cafeteria lady at an Elementary school. I gave her a little bottle of lotion, because she is a lotion FREAK!!!! I also gave her a pair of amethyst earrings.

Cayce might have the day off from work tomorrow for Valentine's day, which is kind of odd because they never took that day off. Adalyn has her 1 year checkup tomorrow morning.

I haven't made my tax shopping lists yet. I still have to seperate baby clothes to sell. We might be getting our refunds on Friday, so we'll be making a trip to Once Upon A Child this weekend.

Time to go cook supper. Ginger and Green Onion Fried Rice and leftover blessing loaf.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 21

This week's theme was wind. The vocabulary word was gust. Samantha had a good week of school. She had two days off, and finished this work yesterday.

On Monday, I gave her two pictures to color of wind.

She colored the wind different colors and she called it a wind rainbow. On Tuesday, I gave her the day off. On Wednesday, she did a pentagon. She kept wanting to call it an octagon.

On Thursday, she did the letter U. She loves learning new letters.

She did both of these worksheets by herself. On Friday, we took that trip to the zoo. On Saturday, Cayce did the number 21 with her. She is counting her teens a little better, but not quite getting them all.

She had a long week. By far the best week yet.

Yesterday's Zoo Trip

Yesterday, was by far the best trip I have ever had to the zoo. The weather was super nice. All the animals were out, except for the tigers, which made me disappointed. The last time we went to the zoo was for Samantha's 3rd birthday, and the weather was hot, and the animals were in and out. We spent most of our time looking at the birds and in the aqaurium this trip because we spend most of our time looking at the monkeys and other animals.

I had a good day with my love and babies. I'm glad that Cayce asked for yesterday off.
We are planning Samantha's birthday trip now. I want to take her to an aqaurium in Charleston or Myrtle Beach.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADALYN

Today is Addy's 1st birthday. She has her 7th tooth coming in. She is having a good first birthday. i have been having flashbacks everytime I look at the clock. Around this time last year, I was beginning to have labor pains and just got settled into my second room at the hospital. I was hungry and wanted a shower so bad since I didn't have one since the day I went into the hospital, which was February 5th.

She had milk and bananas for breakfast and played until she passed out in her crib. She took a little nap until her cake got done. We took some pictures and sang happy birthday, gave her a little slice of cake, which SHE LOVED. Then she went back to sleep.

She is playing with her birthday present now and with her sisters, and they are waiting on dinner. I'm going to make chicken alfredo for Sammy, Airy and I and some Gerber spaghetti o's for Addy.
Ready to take her to the zoo on Friday. I will upload todays pictures later when they are on my computer.
