Children's Museum and Frozen Yogurt

First of all, our computer is down so I'm blogging from my phone today.  My mom suffered a stroke on January 2nd and spent two weeks at Harborview in Seattle.  Last Wednesday she was finally moved to a care facility in Mount Vernon, where most of the family live.  Now that she's further away we hadn't seen her since Tuesday so since Paul had yesterday off we went up to see her.
We got up there at noon so we took the girls to Red Robin for lunch, then visited mom.  My sister-in-law and niece were there, too, so we got to see them and also a family friend.
Since we were going to be up there we also arranged to go to the Children's Museum with my niece (the sister of the first one) and her two kids, the girls' 2nd cousins.  We don't get to see them that often so it's always fun to get together when we can.  My best friend and her son joined us also so it was great to see them, too.
After the museum we stopped for frozen yogurt.  This place was really cool.  You chose whichever flavor (or flavors) you want, fill your bowl as much as you want, chose whatever toppings (and there is everything under the sun) you want and weigh it at the end.  Kayley had cookies and creme with sour patch kids, marshmallows and nerds.  Paul did Olivia's so I'm not sure what she had but I think it was less "exotic" than Kayley's concoction.  Anyway, I haven't had frozen yogurt in forever so maybe these places are common, I don't know, but it was cool.
I wanted to get some pictures of all the kids at the museum but after two the phone died.

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
