Day 59 - A Winter Walk on the Beach

Mike and I took a walk down to the beach before heading home today.  I couldn't decide which pic to post, so I will post a bunch.  LOL

Just a fun path in the grasses...

(Mike jumping into my picture.  I think it turned out GREAT!)

Day 58 - Our Getaway!

For the first time in 6 years Mike and I went away! 

Away from the kids.

Away from the messy house.

Away from work.

Away from the sink full of dishes.

Away from all responsibilities!

It was bliss.

This is where we stayed.

Our suite

The Stainglass in our suite was so beautiful.  This doesn't do it justice.

The scary frog plant holder in our room. 

Another cool decorative piece in our room.  I think it is some kind of animal horn... possibly a ram??  I thought it was pretty neat either way.

Day 45 - Valentine Games night!

To celebrate Valentine's day we took the girls out for lunch, and then went to buy stuff to redo our bathroom! :)  This is something we have been meaning to do for a LONG time so I am super excited!  Tomorrow is day one of redecorating. :)

After our nice steak dinner, we decided to play a few games until Paige was so tired she was begging to go to bed. (no nap today due to errands) 

We decided to try out our new Headbands for Kids game.  They LOVED it!  It was a lot of fun actually!

Gotta love Paige's smile! LOL

Am a food??

Do I fly??

Day 17 - Tobagganing and h-o-t t-u-b-b-i-n-g

My friend and I took the girls tobagganing today.  It was the second time for Haley but the first time for Paige.  They both had a great time and it really amazes me how they really have NO FEAR!

Haley doing her stuff!  She had a riot!

And Paige and I going down!  I couldn't believe how much she liked it!!

And who could resist THIS! ;)

Then for a relaxing afternoon, Mike and I decided to take the girls into the hot tub (first time for them in the winter).  The funny part was that we were trying to keep it a secret and when I started spelling HOT TUB, Haley right away said "Are we going in the hot tub?!?!?"  Darn it... when did she learn to spell???  Secrets out. ;)

Anyways, here is a couple shots from then.

Before...

During...

"TOES!!!!" 

Day 8 - A Different Kind of Dinner

Mike and I decided to make dinner a little fun for the girls tonight.  Instead of giving them forks/spoons we had a "utensil supper".  I remember them from when I was a kids and have very fond memories... lots of laughs.  Well... have to say, our table tonight wasn't much different.  Haley managed her entire meal, but Paige needed a spoon eventually. ;)  Oh... and parents were included too of course!

This is Paige trying to figure out how she is going to eat rice with a wooden spoon.

This is the girls being fairly successful. ;)

And of course Daddy wasn't left out! :)
