So today, in preparation for the big V-day, we wanted to make sugar cookies, but I remembered I lent our Cream of Tarter to the neighbor, and had forgotten to get it back. Oh well. So we made cupcakes today. I forgot how HAPPY pink icing makes me. I usually don’t love frosting things, but I enjoyed frosting these cuppy-cakes just because of the pink cherry frosting. (I think we need to get more pink things in our house..hmmmm…) Of course, the boys ate all the cute ones with the Candy Hearts on top, before I could take the picture, but that is okay, they’re still pink. And Deilcious.
Hope your V day is as pink and Delicious as our cupcakes are…
Love you all!
Thank you Grams so much for the blankies…
After so much talk, everynight, the boys put their animals to bed with the blankeys, they love them. Thank you!!

Growing Pains…
Lately Truman has been waking up during the night with Growing Pains, I still vividly remember these from when I was a kid. Growing up is hard to do. I know he is growing, and growing quickly…. I know because
1- Growing Pains in the middle of the night, all night. Ouchie!
2-The other day he ate 2 bowls of mush for breakfast, 1 grapefruit. For lunch he ate 2 hot dogs, and salad (or Let-Us as he calls it) and dinner he had 2 big helpings of Lasagna and bread.
3-Waking Truman up from Quiet time took me almost an hour. I kept waking he up, and then he would start playing, then fall asleep again.
and again.
and again.
Poor thing. I wouldn’t have forced it, but we had a new babysitter (our usuals were busy) who was coming for the evening, and I didn’t want him to not go to sleep for her!
Growing up is hard to do.
I dare say, it is even harder on mommies watching little one get so big.
Oh how blessed I am to be a mommy. My days are treasures, and yet so numbered. They grow so quickly. I love being home, having adventures with my boys…
You Betcha.
Look whose clipping coupons beside me!!
Actually, they are really old coupons, that have all expired, but it kept them busy for almost an hour. Cutting and flipping through. I got the floors scrubbed and vacuumed, gotta love that right?
No, not the princess pat, who lived in a tree, the princess Cat.
When Truman found out that Cat was coming down on her birthday, he insisted on making this beautiful Crown, with the words princess cat on it and his Aunt Cathrine was kind enough to wear it, the entire evening. What a nice aunt…
Truman made her a cake, and Tucker frosted it, by himself…(looks delicious, uh?)
We went to dinner with Mom, Dad and Cat, ate delicious pizza, and talked, and talked. Toph even got to talk some politics, which he loves, and I don’t think I do often enough as I should. I know he likes to talk about it.
It was so fun to Mom and Dad here too! Our house feels complete and warm with them here.
We are glad we got to spend your birthday with you Cat! WE LOVE YOU!!
Chillin’ with the Greene Fam…
The kids had a grand time, turning off the lights and being silly. We are lucky to have such good, fun cousins.
The wrestling match ups were Tuck vs. Ike and Belle vs. Tru.
I know it looks like Ikey is crying in the previous picture, but rest assured, he was just laughing, here is the next picture that was taken (Don’t you love that smile?):
A fun day to be together and enjoy each others company, and moms homemade chicken noodle soup. Delicious. Thanks Momma Greene, and the Greene Team. Love you Guys!
The new exhibit at the Children’s museum is Sesame Street,
we spent the day there on Saturday. There is nothing better than some family time together,
and of course, we love learning about the human body with the characters from Sesame Street.

Trying to get in Oscars Can:

Looking at some of the other exhibits:
And of course, Truman found the Motorcycle he loves ( I think we’ll try to take a picture of him on that everytime we go)..
We took an art class together, and built skeletons out of noodles.
Gotta love my artistic tounge..
Looking at the pets, in the art room:
Playing with the balls.
Construction Zone.
I never get tired of this picture:
A fun, fun day, as the children’s museum always is…
I would paint a picture of this:
My boys have found a new favorite food. Grapefruit…
Thanks to Grandma and Cat for bringing it back to us, from Arizona (another reason, “I would rather be in Arizona”)
And of course an even bigger thanks to the LeSueurs, I wish we could grow some of those in our back yard!
Thank You, we are truely enjoying these beautiful fruits…hurray for citrus during our winter months!
So my sweetheart, is one smart cookie, with that smart noggin of his, he came up with a solution to my picture hording computer problem…
But first, last week I spent hours on the phone with a nice gentleman named William, from apple, who tried and failed to fix my computer dilemma, but failed miserably, informing me that the people who ‘helped’ me before, acutally didn’t help me at all, but in fact made at least 9 copies of every picture that I have in my I photo library. (which by the way is in the upper 25,000ish, so that times 9 is WHAT?!?!?!).
After the time I spent on the phone with him, Toph and I decided that we have a few options.
1-buying and installing a new version on Iphoto, Cost 100 dollarsish.
2-Buying a new computer (which we have been saving up to do anyways) Cost, a few thousand dollarsish
3-do nothing about it, and store all of my pictures on my digital camera. cost freeish, but yet, my inner soul asks for order this last option, is not really an option, I take WAY too many pictures for that one to really work!!!
So far, this last option is all we got, so I am uploading my pics to Tophs computer for now (a temporary fix)…. and for now I can re-join the Blog-o-sphere. Hurray!
Thanks Hubs!!!
