Binge Blogging - Part Three
Just in case you're curious, as of February 2011, Eden would like to be a Shamu trainer when she grows up and Levi would like to be a World Cup Soccer Player. Easy decision for Eden. Levi, on the other hand was torn. It was between a soccer player and a professional wake-boarder. His daddy should be proud!

Binge Blogging - Part Two
We spent President's Day with my mom at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. The kids loved the glass bottom boat ride and we all learned that a snapping turtle has a really long tail? Who knew?
My mom remembers going there as a little girl and watching the mermaid show. The abandoned "sky ride" from the 60's is also still there (covered in vines) - giving the place a very nostalgic feel. After the boat ride, we visited a park and grabbed some ice cream. It was a perfect little day.

Binge Blogging - Part One
Well, Wow! One post in two months does not a happy blog make! I am way behind on updates and have no other way to catch up. Time for a little binge blogging...
My last post was about Eden's Valentine's Day preparations (and Levi's mustache shenanigans). I'll pick up where I left off...
We managed to squeeze in homemade valentines again this year. We have been going in so many different directions lately that I have to admit the box of Tinkerbell and Ironman cards at the check-out line were pretty tempting. But, despite the time crunch, we made it work. I was so proud of the kids for taking their time and really making each note special for their friends. I think they turned out perfect. My only regret: I didn't have them make one extra, for mommy.

Heart Scraps
Today's Tiny Treasure is this idea Levi came up with as he watched his sister cut out hearts for Valentine's Day.
Her heart scraps became his paper mustache. Eden loved the idea and had to get in on the action as well. My kids are hilarious!

A Donut Date
Today's Tiny Treasure: This Donut Date with my monkeys. Life really is about the little things...and I loved every second of this one.

A Work Perk
I won't lie and tell you there isn't a little piece of me that hates when I have to finish up some work after the kids get home from school. My absolute favorite part of the day is watching them come running off the bus and then walking home with them as they share tid-bits of their day.
But, once we're back in the house, I usually have a few things to wrap up before I can give them some serious Mommy-time. Lately, though...I can't help buy notice a little "work perk" that has popped up somewhere between the bus stop and dinner...
My little munchkins are having a blast playing together! Yesterday the giggles filled the house. It was a perfectly happy afternoon, capped off by sweet little notes they wrote to each other right before dinner. It was about 100 tiny treasures all rolled into one.

Plain and Simple
Levi just ran across the street for a playdate with his friend. All. By. Himself.
I stood at the door and watched his little camo jacket bounce across the street - his hood was up because it is freezing out and he is a good boy.
Right before he left I helped him put his shoes on and told him I would miss him. His response, "Yes. You'll definitely miss me."
Once his shoes were on he took a couple steps down the stairs, turned around, gave me a sweet little dimple smile, then threw his arms around me for a kiss and hug. Oh my word. That boy just steals my heart. Plain and Simple.
