tallb , they are a lot of work, and we will probably have to work with a company to learn how to properly care for the pool for at least the first few years. I do like the idea that our summer entertainment can be right in our own backyard. We are pretty firmly set on our current house being long term since it is in a good school district and great size for us. I have recently creeped our neighbors house thinking that is the house that would make me move. It's the same floor plan as our current house but has a finished walkout basement to a great entertaining area and pool. I am sure MH would laugh in my face if I suggested that house though

flamingo I really love that color. What do you think of it in a master bedroom? Could definitely work. The same friends actually just used it on a jumbo-sized barn door separating the playroom from their kitchen. It looks really nice inside, too, esp. if you get good natural light.

That why the red light district has red lights 😉. And I love a firman red front door, ours is navy, with brick and white trimmings. Apparently this is scandalous, because dark green is the traditional colour...

Morning! Everyone is up super early, so I'm going to try and make some blueberry muffins for breakfast. DH and I were looking at quick, drivable getaways for spring break last night. I would love to do the Great Smoky Mountains or Mammoth Caves in KY, but I will also be 8 months pregnant at that time, so maybe I am being ambitious about being in the car for 7-9 hours and hiking around a national park. Le sigh. I really wanted to do Mammoth caves but it really doesn't have hotels nearby and when I was looking it was just 2 of us and we weren't intersted in hiking. But hiking even the caves might be a little much. Anyplace in Michigan? Or Wisconsin?

Hahahaha I just heard Katie Couric explain why the Dutch are so good at skating. Apparently we skate as a means of transportation in Amsterdam (because Holland/Amsterdam is the same thing) during wintertime, you know when all the canals are frozen. 😂😂😂

oh flamingo, I love that color! I've been wanting to paint our door and I think this would be great. Our house is a yellowish tan, I think this would work really well.

I am being a big procrastinator today! E slept in until just the right time so I am not grumpy. And we didn't have to blow our noses or cough. It was amazing. I bought a bunch of Cardinals tickets because they are on sale for $5. We aren't huge fans but I like going when there is a deal as something different to do with our evenings. I'm feeling the Valentines day stress. I need to get stuff for E's party and he wants to write his name on the cards but MH has plans to take him to the store for my present as well as ice skating lessons tonight. I might just write his name in all the cards myself and not even worry about him wanting to.

I really have no idea!!! I think I skated to school a few times as a kid. But this is not s common occurrence. Last time the canals where frozen enough to skate on was a few years back.

lol tgrimes! Yesterday, 2 days before valentine's day, DH said "you aren't doing anything big for me for valentines day, are you? Let's not" So obviously he hadn't thought of anything yet. Sorry dude, I like to plan a little more in advance so yes, I am doing something for you and it's too late since I already paid for the cooking class. So I'm sure I'll be getting flowers and chocolates, which I'm fine with, but I wish he'd try once in a while and think of things more than 2 days in advance!

My 2 month old is 13lbs, 7oz! He also rolled over 4 times for the doctor even though he's never done that at home.
I'm not good at Valentines, I have something for 2 of the 4 kids and nothing for H. I did run around looking for stuff but no luck.

Mh's go to is a single red rose. It has been since our very first Valentine's Day together. This year he gave it to me some days in advance along with cupcakes and said "Happy Early Valentines" so that he could be done with it. Tonight we are going to eat at the Mexican food place next to Cadence's swim class.
We are not romantic.
