I CANNOT Believe It!!

That title was in honor of the Little Einsteins! Okay, so what is up with this weather. God gives us great weather and then today...rain, ice, sleet, now snow. Actually, I think it is a snow/sleet mix. This is absolutely crazy weather!

*********************************
This morning Ainsley found an old cell phone and preceded to talk on it! She held her own little conversation. So cute!

********************************
Jack stayed at Papa and Grandma's last night. He is being very cute tonight. Jeff bought me a Wii this morning (a complete surprise, but I had really leaving lots of hints around!) and so we played a little at my parents house. Jack loves bowling! When we got home he informed me we needed to play bowling. Unfortunately, we had to wait...Mizzou game was on. Of course, I'm watching the last 7 seconds and they are loosing...maybe we should have played.

Aaahhh...

My wonderful husband gave me a gift for Valentine's Day...a spa package at the Integrite Salon. Now, I feel really bad because I didn't get him anything...we agreed nothing because we were skiing in Colorado, but he got the salong package for me. The salong is located at 135th and Roe, in Leawood KS. It is a 4 visit deal...first visit is a hair cut, second visit is a nail day, third visit is a facial, and 4th visit is a cut and color. I decided today to go ahead and cut and color my hair. I met with Ella this morning, who has an incredibly cute red haircut, which I loved! She colored my hair followed by me sitting in this great messaging chair. Now, I've sat in all kinds of massaging chairs, but this one was great!!!! After about 30-45 minutes in the chair, she gave me a deep conditioning treatment (ahhh...I love getting my hair washed and scalp massaged...best thing EVER!) and then she cut my hair!

This place was great--so relaxing...cool water wall by the entrance/shampooing area...fun place to get your hair cut!

After my 2 1/2 session it was off to the Plaza for lunch with my family. Today is my big brother's 35th birthday! He is soooo old. He wanted Jack Stack, so I met the family there. A little shopping after dinner and then it was back home for dinner and cake. Gotta love my aunts cakes!

Finally, I was back home and ready to hit the bed. I've got a lovely cold happening so it's off to bed!

Brown Chicken!

Tonight we had some fish and mac and cheese for dinner. I was proud--I cooked a nice meal. However, Jack informed me he loved the chicken and then we had to sing the chicken song from Wiggles! Never a dull moment in our house!

As for Ainsley, I just watched her climb in the dog toy basket and preceed to sit and then fall backwards! She is a character too! BTW--she is the machine gun stage!

12:00 aka Midnight

I absolutely dread midnight right now...this is the time Ainsley has decided to wake up the past couple of nights and scream...for a long time...oh how I wish for sleep again!

PLUS: I have had a 13 hour work day today and a 12 hour work day tomorrow--gotta love conferences!

Ahhh...Painting

Thank goodness for grandparents! Jeff and I spent the ENTIRE day painting our family room and downstairs a shade of brown! We love it but we are incredibly exhausted! Jack and Ainsley spent the entire day with Papa and Grandma while we painted. All we have left to paint in our house is the downstairs bedroom and hallway. Each will be done by fall! Such a nice feeling to have this huge task done!

Did you see that Mizzou game! Finally, Mizzou won a Big 12 conference title! We beat Baylor for the title! Go Tigers!

New Dog Trick

SO...Jack has a new dog trick today...carry mom's paper in the house like a dog! Yup...my son's a dog!

My son, the dog

Jack has decided to become a dog. He barks at dad when he arrives home. He licks our legs like Roxy. When in the bathtub, he shakes like Roxy when I poor water on his head! When getting out of the bathtub, he has decided to "shake off"! I really need to video tape this as blackmail one day...

Oh my son!
