Our Thursday

Ashley and I had a fun day today hanging out with Aunt Kelly, Nathan and Kyle.  Our phone rang around 10 this morning and it was Aunt Kelly wanting to know if her and the boys could stop over to drop a few things off. The kids ended up playing for a little bit before we decided we were going to run some errands together.  We all hopped in the car and headed out.  After a few stops we went back to Kelly's house and had lunch and the kids played some more.  After Nathan got on the bus we headed home.

I put Ashley down for a nap and I got my laptop out and began working.  After about a half an hour I could hear her stirring in the monitor.  Then out of no where she yells "Open the door!"..."I want to watch cartoons!"  I realized after 5 minutes of her yelling that taking a nap was out of the question.  We are starting to have more days like that where she decides she isn't going to nap.  I am not ready to give up my 2 hours in the afternoon of peace and quiet!!

Luckily she watched some cartoons for a little while and I was able to get work done!  We then decided to run to Target before "The White Death" arrived!  When we came out of the store it was snowing huge snowflakes!  The entire way home Ashley was saying "It's so pretty!".  It is so cute to see things through a toddlers eyes. 

I decided to make cake balls tonight for the first time - felt the need to have something bad to eat in the house.  I have discovered that I can't melt chocolate to save my life!  They don't look the prettiest but they sure are yummy! 

While mommy is enjoying some "me" time Justin and Ashley are hanging out in the basement watching Cars.  She isn't quite in to sitting down and watching a movie...she keeps going up and down the stairs. Luckily daddy is sitting on the staircase about half way down because she just tripped and took a header right in to daddy!  And that is why we don't play on the stairs ladies and gentlemen!  Nothing a little cake ball can't cure :)
