My funny Valentines

I am so in love with these two!! They are such sweeties and are so much fun to be around! We had a great Valentine's day after our two snow days (two too long). And to surprise daddy, the kids even helped me make a big cookie with icing and sprinkles on it! Yummy!


Also on this day, it is amazing when you think about all the people you love in your life! It is overwhelming how many people in my life affect me so much and I can say I have love in my heart for. Thank you to you all and I hope I let you know often how much you mean to me!

My friend Karen had this on her blog and I thought it looked like so much fun! Sadly both of my kids fall in the look the same like their mom and dad - would have been more interesting to see which one of us is favored. Maybe I will try another picture sometime...

So do you know what a power path is?

Or how about how many doors does a sand crawler have? Or what color is Obi Wan's light saber? And did you know that the lego police station - the new one not the one I have - has bendable parts on the garage? What kind of animal is Chewy?

Well - neither do I!!! But these are the kinds of conversations that I have daily with my son. Today I actually sat down with my son for lunch - just he and I - and our entire conversation was about his game Rock Riders by Lego on the computer. He told me all about how this building has 4 power paths while it only needs 2 and guess how many power paths this building needs - only one! And that if I walk into this hole then push this button that I can blow up the rocks so that I can get to the stuff built underneath?

So I sat there thinking to myself - do I act like I am interested in this converation even though I have NO IDEA what he is talking about??? Is that what a good mother would do? I found myself doing the grin and nod and saying "really?" alot. He must have been okay with that since he kept talking anyway!

I look forward to the day my daughter wants to talk about more girly things. Now mind you - I am in NO WAY a real girly girl but - I would definately do better with discussing which princess ate the poisonous apple or which shoes look better or should the princess ride on the horse by herself or with the prince (it's all about girl power you know).

These things I can understand and actually have a more intelligent conversation about! Light sabors and power paths - not so much so.

SO for now - I guess i will continue to grin and nod and keep saying "why don't we call Daddy and ask him!!!!" And hope that the time does not come too soon when he will decided he doesn't want to talk to Mom any more cause she is not cool - because I know it will be sooner than I want!! So, I'll just revel in the fact that he still thinks I am cool enough to share and maybe some day I will actually learn what a power path is!!!

M & M Potty Party!!!

It is party time in the Perry household!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lexi finally decided today to use the big girl potty!!!! Some of you may know that this is absolutely HUGE!!!! She has NEVER done this in the past - was willing to sit but that was it!!! But twice today she has gone and we had big celebration with M & M's and Mike and Ikes candy.

I had always assumed that since she was a girl then she would be MUCH easier to train than Logan - But last week - she offically was the age (3 yrs 3months) that Logan was when he trained - So I was obviously getting disappointed. But hopefully no more!!!!!!!! Now we just have to keep with it and have a PARTY every couple of hours!!!!!!!!!

Wish us luck!!! And send us some M & M's or Mike and Ikes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps - sorry this was such a bizarre post - never thought I would post about peeing.....

This is fabulous!!!

Okay so the other night my MOMS CLub was invited for a sneak peek at the new DREAM DINNERS store in the area. About 20 of us went (bringing our own wine) and they let us make for free an entree to take home to feed our family the next day or whenever. Dream Dinners is a place where every month they have a new menu and you choose what entrees you wnat to make and they have ALL the meat, pasta, chopped product, spices and directions for you. It takes just a few minutes to put together one entree following all their steps and how easy they have the whole workstation laid out. It was amazing!!! So we got to make Cornflake Crusted Chicken with Ranch Dipping Sauce - and it was really yummy! Even the kids ate all of theirs!!!! Now THAT is AMAZING!!!!

Each time you go you would make about 12 meals and I have heard that this is a great place to get your freezer stocked for those last minute meals as well as for good and unique recipes. My friend Erin goes about every other month and she raves about it constantly!!! I can't wait to try more meals. Some of us gals signed up for a private party at the end of next month there and Todd and I are already planning on what items will be on our menu!!! I'll be sure to post someof the fabulous meals I will be making! See I might be a gourmet sometime yet!!! hee-hee

My family will finally get homemade!!!
