We have had a pretty busy week since I last posted. Last Thursday Ashley and I went over to babysit the boys while Aunt Kelly had a meeting. Kelly had built a fort for the boys before we got there and the kids enjoyed playing for a little while - before Ashley and Kyle destroyed it. They decided they were going to lay on top of it to watch cartoons.
We ended up staying for dinner with the family - Justin came over after work and Nana and Papaw came too. We had fun hanging out with everyone.
Ashley likes to do things herself now a days and her newest thing is helping hang up her coat. Usually she would take it off and give it to me to hang in the coat closet but recently she has taken it upon herself to hang it up on her own.
Yes, that would be our fireplace she is hanging her coat at. She has discovered the nails in the fireplace used to hang Christmas stockings and I have to hand it to her for being clever :)
On Saturday we were having family dinner at Nana and Papaw's and we were supposed to bring a dessert. For Valentine's we decided we were going to make red velvet cookies and cut them out in heart shapes. Then I realized I didn't have a heart shaped cookie cutter and I was on a mission. I think I went to every store I could think of and couldn't find one stinking heart shaped cookie cutter! Until I went in to the Kroger in the sketchy part of Milford and found one for $.71. Thank goodness I didn't break the bank because we didn't end up using it - that's another story I won't bore you with! Anyway, when I came out of Kroger and got in my car I looked up at the car parked in front of me and this is what I see:
That would be an Indian air brushed on a PT Cruiser... I REALLY wanted to get out of my car and take a close up picture of it because I know the phone on my camera is not doing it justice but I was afraid to find out what type of person drives a car like this...and I doubt they would find me taking a picture of their car funny!
On Sunday we celebrated my grandparents 70th wedding anniversary with some cake and ice cream at the assisted living facility they are staying at. Ashley looked so cute when we left the house. I had her hair up with a pretty headband and bow in her hair. I turn around in the car to check on her and this is what I find...she is definitely not going to cosmetology school anytime soon!
After celebrating we came home and decided to switch out our ugly brass door knobs throughout the house. Ashley was watching Justin remove them and Ashley ran in to her playroom and grabbed a spatula from her kitchen and decided to help daddy fix the doors.
Yesterday we babysat Kyle while Kelly went to Nathan's school for his Valentines Day party. Ashley started with a cough over the weekend but other then that she has been fine. She decided to take a turn for the worse while we were babysitting and when I got her home she was running a fever of 103.0! I feel absolutely horrible for having her over at my sisters and I am praying she doesn't get anyone there sick! Needless to say we had to cancel our dinner plans to celebrate Valentines but it ended up being just as nice. Justin ran down the street to Shooter's and picked us up some food and we just ate dinner here at home. After the Tylenol kicked in and Ashley was starting to feel a little better her and daddy made me a Valentines Day card:
I have the cutest Valentines!! Since Ashley was running a fever they won't let her come to school until she is fever free for 24 hours. So, miss Ashley is staying home with Mommy today and she is relaxing on the couch watching her favorite Cake Cake moving for the 4,697,113th time while I am getting some work done!
