Wow...it's been over a week

I haven't blogged in a little over a week! That is just crazy! We have had a ton going on around here though. Marissa has volleyball practice, I am at work most days until 4:00 and then I am running around to pick up all three kids. So since I have a free moment I will update you guys real quick!

First, I had this great idea that I was going to take pictures of my outfits for work each day. Really, I was only planning on taking pictures of the ones that I decided to layer. So I started off with Day 1 and then I stopped. I just don't have time in the morning and by the evening I am not looking so hot. It just wasn't meant to be. But here is a picture that was taken of me. I love this outfit and I love this sleeveless blouse. It is going to look so cute in the summer as well.
Now last Friday, I had my friend Avie come over and we made chocolate covered strawberries. It was great and wonderful. We had such an awesome time and then two other girlfriends joined us. After, they were here for about 30 minutes and us making our assembly line for the shovel Valentine's (which were a HUGE hit, by the way), my laptop got knocked onto the tile floor and the screen cracked. I was sick to my stomach so of course I had to have it replaced. UGH! Money down the drain.
Then of course we celebrated Valentine's Day. Each of the children got something small that they would enjoy.
Marissa: A new lunch bag from 31
Cade: A dart board and 3D Mario Gummies
Colin: Nesting Blocks that I decided not to give him at Christmas
Larry: His favorite candy, Whoppers, a note on the bathroom mirror in lipstick, and a Top Ten List made by me! (Ok so I didn't take a picture of his - OOPS!)

Me: Two cards - one from the kids and one from Larry.
My card from the kids was amazing. Marissa decided on each little card they should write me a message so they did.
Cade and Colin both signed this one:
Marissa wrote me this note:
This is probably one of my most favorite cards ever. It was just so thoughtful all the work they put into it. I know Marissa did most of it but the fact that she included the boys really meant a lot and her notes to me were too sweet as well. I love all my children so very much!
And of course last but not least the card from Larry! It was pretty amazing as well.
I am so happy we went so low key this year! Nothing crazy and over the top. It always makes life easier that way, especially when the one who keeps everything afloat comes down with strep the next day!
YES, my friends, I had/have strep. I haven't been this sick in YEARS. When I say years I am not kidding, the last time I had strep and felt this rotten was when I was pregnant with Cade so that was at least five and half years ago.
