Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone has a great day of L-O-V-E ! We gave the kids their Valentines this morning- Webkinz for the boys and a stuffed poodle for Sadie. Sadie got some books, candy, and a headband as well. They boys got DVD's and candy. I gave Ryan some new jeans, 2 shirts and some candy. He gave me a bottle of champagne. Party on! Champagne is my favorite and it doesn't take much...

I am WAY excited for Survivor tonight. Yes! A new season has started and the boys and I will be tuned in every Thursday night. Cobe is so glad that Ozzy is back on- his favorite player of all time. I am just glad that Johnny Fairplay is GONE!!! It would have ruined the season for me to have to watch him any longer. I am also excited that Big Brother is back on- with a new twist- couples! I can't tell if I'll like it better/same/ or worse yet, but at least it is something to watch when Ryan is at work.

The realtor came through our house this morning. I taught her daughter several years ago so I already knew her. She is very nice and is known as an aggressive realtor, so hopefully she can do the job that needs to be done... SELL! She said the only thing that needs to be done is for us to clean up our baseboards some- either with a Magic Eraser or with white paint if the eraser doesn't do the trick. Other than that, she doesn't want to do a thing. That was nice to hear since you start to get a complex about your house when it doesn't sell for so long. We will meet with our builder again once he decides the final price he will buy it for if it doesn't sell in 6 months. Ryan and I plan on cleaning out closets soon-- maybe when my mom is here to watch the kids and keep them out of our hair while we pitch things they think they can't live without. We made it through our closet so far and under our bathroom sink, but we have at least 2 more closets that need work and the storage room in the basement.

We are going out with Lynette and Matt tomorrow night to Buffalo Wild Wing (is that right Lynette?????) in Grandville. We may have to hit the mall as well b/c Ryan thinks he needs a new wardrobe. I can't wait for a night out- seems like it has been awhile. Saturday during the day we have no plans (YAY!) because Cobe doesn't have a soccer game. We will be sleeping in over here for once! Saturday night we are heading to GR to go out to dinner with the Bekins and to see what else materializes. So I am excited after sitting home last weekend for the ENTIRE weekend with a sick husband and kid, that we can get out for some fun nights this weekend.

My mom and dad fly in on Tuesday (YAY again!!). My dad is staying until Sunday and my mom is staying until the next Friday. My mom being here for almost 2 weeks equals RELAXATION for me, right mom??? :-) I hope the snow takes a break for awhile when my dad is here at least- he can't stand snow and cold weather. It was so nice yesterday seeing the beautiful sunshine for the first time in a long time.

Off to work- my student teacher started full-time yesterday, so it is weird having a shadow. She seems like she is going to be great and already has picked up on what to do. She won't start teaching until the first week of March, but then she'll teach that whole month- both of my classes. I'll be bored!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

That's right and I CAN NOT WAIT to get out of teh house! I probably won't taste a thing but oh well!

That's great that that is all the realetor wanted to do, that sounds easy enough, and a great job for the kids! :)

Yum - Buffalo Wild Wings is so good - I suggest the parmesan garlic wings - YUMMO! And go with mild unless you like real hot - mild was even too spicy for me! Have a great weekend - glad you guys can get out! I have some stuff to get to you - will you be around tomorrow am - like 9:45?

happy valentine's day!! Have fun going out--that sounds like a bunch of fun.
Well, my fellow reality TV junky, LOL, I am so excited for BB and survivor too!!! TOnight you might have to cover Cobe's eyes though--there is suppose to be a BIG make out session between Ozzy and I THINK amanda. But who knows, they might be hyping that up to improve ratings. I am SO glady Johnny Fairplay is gone too!!! ANyhow, enjoy your night and your champagne. ;)

Why does it not surprise me that you're a lightweight with the bubbly? :) And HOLY COW! You guys don't mess around for Valentine's Day, do you?

Your blog and children are adorable! I'm glad you posted a comment, I always am happy to have another blog to read. :)
We would love to be your neighbors. Our house has been up for sale 2 years this summer. Maybe it is time we set up a meeting with the builder. Our lot is the one next to the red house being built right now, it has a Remax sign in front of it.
Keep in touch!
