A Wonderful Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day I got a beautiful personalized pillow from my hubby. I loved it. He is so thoughtful and goes out of his way to find something unique. I'm not much of a flower girl anymore. I do however love different kinds of flowers...like Lily of the Valley. Those smell so amazing. I'll post a pic of the pillow tomorrow. I also got a new Webkinz pink fish. Yes I do like Webkinz. My kids all do it. They are adorable and it's kinda fun. It's something our whole family does and the girls get really excited about it. If you aren't sure what they are, well you are missing out! haha Go to www.webkinz.com to see what I am talking about. I also got a few scratch off tickets. I won $10 on a Betty Boop ticket. I got a beautiful card that brought tears to my eyes. I got a delicious candy bar that said I Love You on the wrapper. It was pretty yummy. Oh geez he spoiled me to death. I got two cami tops. One white, one grey from Aripostle and a pink Aripostle shirt that is just cute as can be. So yeah, he did spoil me a bit. He's always doing that. I love him to pieces. My girls all got a Webkinz and a Webkinz charm. They all came with codes to use online so that's like gold for them.

I bought the hubby the new Journey CD and dedicated a song to him. It's called "After All These Years." You should really have a listen. You won't even believe it's a new lead singer. He is almost dead on. It's just amazing. That song is gorgeous and really perfect for a couple who have been together for awhile. Hear the tune here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucecxNwOna8.

I bought him a card and a two new shirts as well. I guess we went a little overboard this year. haha Around 6:00 p.m. I talked to my sister and she wanted to know what we were up to. We were just hanging around at home last night. We had went out Friday night. We were staying home with the kids on Valentine's evening. So we invited her hubby and kids over. We turned on our DJ/Karaoke rig, got out the instruments and sang away the night. Another couple whom are good friends of ours called to see what we were all up to so we sent them our way too. It ended up being a really nice evening! I didn't get to bed until about 3 a.m. haha Everyone left around 1:45!!! Yikes. Anyway we had fun. Here's a video for your enjoyment of my sister and I singing Sweet Dreams are Made of This by the Arythmics. Her husband is goofing off dancing by her while her little boy ran circles around us. haha

Halloween Party Success

The Halloween Party went very well. It was a lot of fun. My mom came over so that she could keep the kids upstairs. We just let them stay here so they could play in their rooms and Gabbi could sleep if she needed to. They came down and enjoyed the party every now and again. My friend taught the older 3 how to do the YMCA. It was funny. They loved it. But for the most party they were told to stay upstairs and play in their rooms. They didn't really understand why. I wanted them to know that they had their parties and this was mommy and daddy's party. lol

The hubby came as Captain Jack Sparrow and I came as a ladybug. He looked great and I liked mine too. The skirt was a bit short and I felt like I was struggling with yanking it down all night but it was a lot better than the problems I had with my other costume!







My cousin came in and shocked me to death dressed as his girlfriend. Haha That was interesting to say the least. All in all we had Caesar, Cleopatra, a Gypsy fortune teller, an escaped convict, ladybug (me), bumble bee, Captain Jack Sparrow, a vampire lady and a few others I think. It was great. We sang and danced a little and socialized for the most part. I had a great time.

I'm glad we weren't sick anymore and got to enjoy the party.
