Overview of new rooms. Josh is on the right, Sarah on the left. Painted the back wall blue, a color they both agreed on. Sarah wants her side to look like under ocean with dophins, fish and turtles. Joshua wants his side to be the sky with parakeets flying all over.

Valentine Dinner

It was my month to be in charge of the special theme dinner this month, and in case you couldn't already figure it out I choose "love" as the theme. We used our fancy dishes, candels, flowers, and hearts everywhere. For the food I choose tri-tip steak, mashed potatoes, corn, and brownies for dessert. And everyone got there own soda bottle - for my kids that is pretty huge because I don't usually have soda in the house. In the pink bowl on the table there was slips of paper that had reason why I love everyone in the family and we took turns reading the papers.

Ethan took this picture so I could be in it. Rare - very rare!

New Traditions

We are starting a new tradition this year of doing one themed meal a month. Joshua was in charge of the first month and he wanted a Chinese dinner. It was also the Chinese new year which made is really easy to find decorations for it. The overall theme is the color red which is a lucky color in China.

This year is the year of the dragon.

Ready to eat. We also had our nephew Devin in town for the weekend. He came in to help Shaun build his shed.

The man in charge.

I found colored fortune cookies.

Each kid got a red envelope with money inside with their named written on it in Chinese writing. We all ate with chopsticks. We had egg rolls, pot stickers, rice, and fruit. It was a lot of fun. Stayed tuned - Mom's in charge of the dinner next month.

Planning Ahead

Target had Halloween Costumes on super sale so we are planning ahead for next year. I told the boys they could try them on one time then I was packing them away so they won't get ruined. Even Sarah joined in on the fun.
