Love Month!

HAPPY FEBRUARY!  I've always liked this month... I think that is largely because of the pink and red girlie decor. Not to forget, usually flowers, chocolates, pink-frosting and date-nights are involved. It will also include a trip to see our families and going on the Annual Scofield Snowmobile Ride! This year, I think the best thing about February... it's one step closer to SPRING!!

I have to apologize to my readers for my last post. I think I have misguided you into thinking I'm a cool mom that always does fun stuff with my kiddos. IF ONLY it were true. Truth is, my kids probably think I'm a super boring Mommy, and there's NO question that I let Tianna watch way too much TV and/or movies. I think we've seen just about every episode of every show that plays on Disney Channel and don't get me started on how much DORA we've seen.

I wish I could be one of those mom's that wakes up at 6 am and plays with her children on the floor until nap time... then they all settle in for a good nap while Mommy takes care of her household duties . When the kids wake up she resumes playing with them until it's time to prepare dinner.  That is when the real fun starts because the kids all help mix, stir, measure WHATEVER healthy, well thought-out meal she's preparing. Then once dinner and dishes are done it's time for bath time, stories, good night kisses and everyone is tucked into bed by 8:00.
TIS NOT SO Folks! Not at my house.... Maybe someday.

 

Until then, I'll just post pictures of the occasional fun activity we actually do. Then I'll LOOK like Mommy of the Year, but you now know the truth. I'm kind of LAME Mommy much of the time.  I think I'll blame it on this though... it's been so stinkin' cold and frosty here. When it's not storym, everything is covered in a nice layer of frozen frost.... which don't get me wrong, is gorgeous and FUN for a little while, but we're talking over a month of this now. It's hard to entertain your family all day every day when you can't even go outside.

Saturday night we shipped the kids off to Luke's uncle's house while we went to a USU hockey game with some friends. Tianna was thrilled to go play at Uncle Mike's house and we were thrilled to have a night out.  And we enjoyed a FREE night out in more ways than just free from kids! As Luke E. is a Pepsi guy, they get free VIP seats and catered dinner which this night, happened to feature Dominos! It was an exciting game and so much fun!! Thanks Luke and Stacey and GO USU!!!
