weekend recap...

hey ya'll!
did u have a great weekend?

ours was ok...first, the good news...

the sickies never came back!!!
yay!

on Friday, i told ya about how a random fever was making its rounds in our house...well, thankfully it stopped with Jaden - that day at home with dad fixed him right up! Gabby never had the fever come back & Corinn steered clear of it all together! now, that's what i'm talking about!!!

the bad news?

we got some more damn snow!!!
grrrrrrrrrrr...

we woke up to a good 3 or 4 inches on Saturday...& it continued to snow off & on all day, leaving us with about 5 or 6 inches (just a guess - i didn't measure this time) by Sunday...

the girls were majorly disappointed...they had a birthday party to attend on Saturday, but it was postponed & they had to wait another whole day! ;0) i think they must have been on strike against the snow since it postponed their fun - cause they weren't really interested in trekking out to play this time around...they preferred their warm (& messy) room - playing Barbies & house...watching movies & doing more handstands...

Jaden couldn't wait to get out & play tho! Curtis took him out on Sunday...their main goal was to roll up another "giant snowball"...but this stuff was too light & fluffy...instead, they made their way to the far end of our yard where there's a small hill & did a little sledding...i stayed warm inside with the girls & attempted to snap pics from the front door...i wasn't very successful, but i did catch a glimpse of my boy thru the trees...

& this one right before he came inside...he's so darn handsome! ;0)

the girls pestered me the entire weekend..."how many more hours until Riley's party?"..."is it time to get ready to go to Riley's party yet?"...i'm telling ya, it was the event of the year!!!

but i don't blame em for being excited...it was quite the event!

i'd never heard of You're a Star before (can't find a link)...it's in the local mall & they host themed birthday parties...Riley's party theme was a "Rock Diva Party"...the girls got to dress up & have their hair, make-up & nails done...

they picked the color & flavor to make some lip gloss to take home...

they sang karaoke & just had a freaking ball!!!

the place even provides cupcakes & ice cream...

the girls each left with a fabulous goody bad (filled with more make-up) & a picture of themselves from the party, with all their friends...it was awesome!

it sounds like the parties are pretty pricey, but if u can afford it, it was such an easy thing for Riley's parents to do...they just showed up & pretty much snapped pics the whole time...the ladies at You're a Star took care of everything!

i ran on very little sleep this weekend...those 3 cakes had me putting in the 2nd shift both Friday & Saturday night...so by the time they were all delivered on Sunday, i was ready to crash! i was thankful for my 4-wheel drive on both days - we're finding out it does GREAT in the snow! Curt would drive & i would hold the cakes on my lap...we're a good team ;0)

school was canceled both yesterday & today...we have a winter weather advisory in effect right this moment (until 4am tomorrow), predicting 2-4 inches (it's putting down a light snow right now)...then i don't even want to talk about what's supposed to happen starting Friday! they're saying that if it moves just right, we may have non-stop snow for 4 days - worse than the blizzard of '93!!! ugh.

f'ing groundhog!!!
