It's February

Really? Where did January go? I'm not exactly sure. I worked a lot. I mean. A lot. Hoping these projects pay off for me in the long run....

I've also planned and shopped for an upcoming birthday party (BRENLEY!!!!!), got custom Valentines ordered for the kids (I don't do anything out of a box),  and kept up with everything else the best way I could. We maybe ate out a few more times than what I would have liked, but there has to be some give somewhere and I'm in a cooking slump. 

Let's see.... Our fountain water pump is working again after 3+ months. We have zero fish to show for it and a very nasty and stinky looking pond. Oh well. Warmer weather gets here - and we'll get that fixed. Sad little pond right now.

Speaking of things not working... Our dryer decided to stop working so we went washer and dryer shopping to replace our 15+ year old set. It actually wasn't an easy decision for me to want to purchase something new, but so far no buyers remorse. The capacity on these things is enormous. They'll save us a lot of time just because we can get so many more clothes in a load and we can wash comforters!!! No more laundromat for that!

And if I haven't mentioned it yet, our house is Brenley's playroom. These babies were sleeping on our couch while she was at school the other day. Creeped me out a bit every time I came upstairs. 

This was something Beau did at school the other day. Words he uses to describe himself. I love it. I love his confidence. I pray he never loses it.

And so yeah, it's February. I love It because my baby's birthday is this week and Valentines day is around the corner. Two great reasons to be happy, happy, happy!!!
