Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in February:
Mon 2/1/10: Tonight the kids and I went to the library alone since Brad was feeling sick. On the way home I felt spontaneous and took the kids to Petsmart to pick up a "clicker" for Scott's science fair project. While we were there we found the perfect cat calendar for Emma's room for only $3. NICE!
Tue 2/2/10: Brad completed his 2009 taxes today and he was very pleased with the results. :) But even BETTER news is that I found out today that my Aunt Laurie is a mommy!!! Her little son, Robinson was born last Friday on Jan 29th.
Wed 2/3/10: Brad and I finally had some quiet time tonight to watch a movie together. We watched "The Buddy Holly" story. Emma also began her Science Fair project tonight.
Thu 2/4/10: Scott started training his rat, Blackie, tonight for his Science Fair project. Emma has been working on painting her model of the earth.
Fri 2/5/10: We used our Carino's gift card from the Young Women leaders tonight for dinner. Brad and I ordered lasagna and David ordered spicy chicken pasta.
Sat 2/6/10: Brad and I went to Hires today for lunch. It was nice having the one-on-one time together, although both of us wished Margaret could be with us, too. The last time Brad and I went to Hires she came with us.
Sun 2/7/10: I barbecued steak for dinner tonight. For dessert, Scott, Emma, and I made caramel apples. It was fun watching "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" while eating our apples. Good stuff!
Mon 2/8/10: We got Valentines tonight for Scott and Emma to distribute at school. It was part of our FHE night.
Tue 2/9/10: Lizzy and I played on the piano today for fun. Lizzy likes to bounce her body up and down while she's banging the piano. I think that's her way of dancing as an 8-month-old.
Wed 2/10/10: Lizzy started crawling FOR REAL today! It's still "army-man" style, but she's moving pretty speedy across the carpet. Now we have to baby proof the house as soon as possible.
Thu 2/11/10: We had Valentine's Day dates with the kids tonight. Brad took the girls to Dairy Queen and had dinner and ice cream there. Scott stayed with me and we ordered a pizza and played video games. It was fun!
Fri 2/12/10: Last minute shopping before sneaking off to California tomorrow! I'm so excited!
Sat 2/13/10: My parents were totally not expecting us to show up at their doorstep today. SUCCESS!!!! We had a wonderful day visiting with my family and saying hi to neighbors. It's so good being back "home."
Sun 2/14/10: Went to my home-ward today for church. It was great seeing so many people I knew growing up, and to be back in my old building. I felt so at home. LOVED IT!!!
Mon 2/15/10: It got up to 85 decrees today! YEAH!!! I love Long Beach in the winter! Brad and I went to Trader Joe's today and got sushi and yummy snacks to eat. We stopped over at Rachel's condo and spent a few hours with her playing games and eating sushi.
Tue 2/16/10: Went back to Utah this morning. Sadness. :( It's nice being home, but I hate leaving my family and "homeland" behind. It was great seeing Scott and Emma, though. We finished Science Fair projects tonight and we gave them their Valentines.
Wed 2/17/10: I'm so glad my vacation pictures were recovered! Hooray! I had a fun time looking through them and posting them on my blog and Facebook.
Thu 2/18/10: Tonight was Scott's and Emma's Science Fair at the school. Scott won 2nd place for the 6th grade level! Hooray for Scott!
Fri 2/19/10: Brad and I started watching a really good movie called "Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens this evening. I have a much higher appreciation for Charles Dickens' classics as an adult than I did when I was a child. 'Tis a new love of mine.
Sat 2/20/10: Rachel returned home from the hospital today. YAY! She is doing much better. I'm glad the steroids have helped her so much.
Sun 2/21/10: I made pot roast today for our Sunday dinner. We watched some Danny Kaye during dinner, and I finished crocheting the blanket I've been working on for a while.
Mon 2/22/10: We stopped by the creek in Murray to feed the ducks for FHE. There were hundreds of them! Scott got excited when he saw a river rat run on the bank. Lizzy looked like she was wondering what all the commotion was about.
Tue 2/23/10: Finished watching "Little Dorrit" today. I LOVED it!
Wed 2/24/10: I put a whole bunch of other BBC movies on hold at the library. I'm anxious to see more after "Little Dorrit."
Thu 2/25/10: Cuddling with Bradley is a lovely, lovely thing. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband.
Fri 2/26/10: Feeling quite sick today. Scott stayed home with me and then I had to pick Emma up at school because she ended up getting sick, too. But it was nice spending time with them even though we were feeling miserable. I started crocheting a new scarf while the kids were watching cartoons. It's my first time making a scarf.
Sat 2/27/10: The kids and I felt much today. Scott and Emma were well enough to spend most of the day with Melanie, which gave Brad and me a chance to have some alone time together, which was a nice treat.
Sun 2/28/10: We went over to Bruce and Loralee's house for dinner tonight. Scott and Emma were thrilled to spend time with their cousins. Loralee made a yummy rice dinner and Lindsey made chocolate pudding.
