Family photo....well sort of.Ok, so I know its the day after Valentine's day but we had a really BUSY day yesterday. What did we do you might ask?? Aidan and I worked at 6am and had a lot of fun as usual. I laughed a lot watching Aidan and Nathan running around and chasing each other downstairs. Nathan is 9 and and LOVES Na-Na. In fact if Nathan doesn't sit in the back seat with Aidan than that can cause a fit.
After we got Emily to school at 8am and Nathan to the bus at 8:45pm we went to the party store to pick up 20 balloons!! Yes, my car with 20 balloons in it was a bit insane. I had them hitting me in the head, couldn't see out anything but my side mirrors and only could hear Aidan. On top of that, I can't stand latex balloons. He kept batting them around and I kept yelling to him the back seat to stop hitting the balloons, just to hear him laugh!! So not fun.
We got to St. Jude and took 16 of the balloons into Guardians and Angels. All the kiddos sure did love bringing home a balloon at the end of our party!! I'll do it again in a heartbeat, but hopefully I can pick them up in Redmond this time instead of Woodinville. A 5 minute drive is so much less stressful than a 15 minute drive. After GA we went home for lunch of pb&j. Aid didn't eat much. He ate more of the cookies than anything. Oh well. It was a special day.
I later had to wake up Aidan to go pick up Emily from school. I felt badly since he was so tired and didn't want to wake up. Oh well, we went to Nana's and gave her her chocolates, card and balloon we picked out for her. She loved it!! We made more cards that we still need to send to people. Oops, Oh well.

Nana & Aidan snuggling on the couch after making Valentine's day cards. It was hard work...
We waited for John to be home from dinner that night and enjoyed a yummy salad, soda (milk for bubba), a heart shaped pepperoni pizza, and some chocolates for dessert. Aidan got a fun doggie from Hallmark from my mom, I got candles (more like votive) from her too. John got me the Fergie CD that I have been wanting. He kind of cheated while at Target last night he called and was like what do you want so I named a bunch of DVD's and CD's that he could possible get. He even bought a card!! I was so impressed!! John got Night at the Museum DVD and Aidan got a new Bob the Builder DVD. They both got candy too. John and I put Aidan to bed and then crawled into bed and watched the movie "Why did I get Married?" We both really enjoyed it. I actually fell asleep at the very end of the movie and didn't wake up until this morning. I guess I was tired. It was a nice relaxing evening. It felt like Friday or Saturday night almost.
Today John worked again!! The whole week!! Thank heavens. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it continues. If it doesn't than life will be even more stressful, again. Aidan ate some breakfast with John and then crawled back into bed with me. I slept until 10am while he watched Curious George and woke up to find little man fast asleep. I got up and was up for 20 minutes when he came out to cuddle with me. Turns out he has a bit of a cold. I think it is the same one that Emily had on Tuesday. No good, but she was lots better within 2 days so I am hoping that a low key weekend will cure him. So, that was our last 2 days. Today is just going to be a lazy relaxing day of staying home, making a quick trip to Costco to pick up some prints and to clear a few memory cards, and making yummy Tuna casserole for dinner. No meat on Fridays is tricky to get use to sometimes. I almost forgot at lunch time. Oh well. So we will post more after our weekend!! Take care and hope your Valentine's day was as wonderful as ours!!
