A Few Cuties and a Yummy!!!!!!!

I about died when I walked into Addison's bedroom this morning. My little lovebugs were sitting together and reading. It was the cutest thing ever!!!!! It makes me soo happy when I see these two getting along because usually they are FIGHTING like crazy!!! I mean, MELT MY HEART!!!!!
Funny girl!!
And this funny boy has been telling me, "POTTY!!" and then I take him potty and he goes tt. So proud of him!! It' the cutest thing ever. I don't even have to give him a treat or anything. He just loves being a big boy.

Oh my goodness, have you guys had the Thai Chopped Chicken Salad from Panera??? It's delish and it's only 10 WW points. YUMMY!!!!!
I am soooooooo proud of myself, for the first time since I've been staying home with my kids, I've stayed on my budget this month. And, I even bought Addison some Matilda Jane clothing this month. So, it's not like I was sitting at home wishing I could spend. Here are my tips: clip coupons, stay away from Target and plan ahead for meals. Oh, I also cut back big time on my Sonic trips. I am so proud of myself!!!! Have a fabulous day!!!!!

A Day Filled With Love

We started celebrating Valentine's Day on Sunday. Nate wanted Logan's Roadhouse for dinner so that's where we went to eat. As if we didn't get enough food to eat, we little piglets headed to Nothing Bundt Cakes to get these yummy treats!! Nate's teacher loves Sonic so he got her a little gift card for Valentine's Day. I thought it would be cute to wrap it up in a Sonic cup.

Nate got his little friend Kate a Valentine. We gave him $5 to spend and he picked some candy and a little dog. Nate heading to school:
Rob gave Addison a teddy bear
Nanis came to celebrate the big day w us!!
Addison and Ty had a blast at Nate's school party. They thought it was their party.







Nans and Ty left the party early because Ty was getting fussy. Therefore, we walked home from school. Such a beautiful day!
We came home and played outside for a few hours and then Rob came home with Wing Stop and cupcakes for dinner. Wow, we were feelin' the love from daddy!!!! This mamma ate 3 cupcakes. OINK!!!!!!

I sure hit the gym the next morning!!! It's nice to workout while the kids are still asleep. I feel like I have a better, more productive day if I go to the gym in the a.m. as opposed to the evening. Praise Jesus that we don't have another holiday for a while!!!!! I've still stayed away from Target and my cc bill is WAY less this month!! WOOHOO!! I think I deserve a cupcake. HEHE!!!

Valentine Confetti, Party and a Surprise

I made this Valentine Confetti for my kids for Valentine's day. This is all you need. 2 bags(popped) of Tender White popcorn, melted vanilla(got mine at Hobby Lobby) and M&Ms. Mix all together. So easy and yummy!!! I found it on a blog, once again, can't remember which one. SORRY!
We celebrated my nephew Ethan's 5th birthday on Saturday.

Addison LOVES her Nanis big time!! As we were leaving the party, Addison was crying and saying," I just love my Nans sooooo much."


Kate and Nate were holding hands and saying CHEESE!! Presh! They are only 17 days aprt.

Birthday boy!!!

When we got home, the kids opened their Valentine surprise from Nanis and Pappy. They were sol excited to get money. Addison screamed out, "YES, I got a hundred dollars!!" It was only 10 dollars but she doesn't know any better.
Thanks mom and dad for the surprise!! Love you!!!!
Today we have church and then Nate has baseball practice. I'm sure we'll throw a nap in there somewhere. Oh, our family hasn't eaten out in 8 days.... AMAZING!!!!! I keep think of the money and calories we are saving!!!
