I can't believe that it's been over a week since I got a post up on the blog. The week has flown....thanks to all sorts of excitement around the ole Mileski hizzle! We are soooo busy. Work, school, talent show rehearsals, school projects, church stuff, sniffles, 911 calls, household projects, birthday festivities, snowdays.....whew! B.U.S.Y. !!!
This weekend was all kinds of fun though. Snow....
WE. HAD. SNOW!!!!
Greer and Daddy marched around in it for over an hour before the big kids finally made it home from school. They managed to make it for over half the day, and enjoyed a snowy recess....a rare occasion here in the deep south! Days like these are what memories are made of! Right? Right!
Gotta love a snowy sunset......something we rarely may never, ever see again.
I want to freeze this picture in time! Gorgeous, huh?
....or maybe this is the most gorgeous photo of the weekend!
Chris and I went out for our Valentine's date last night (more on that and the 911 call tomorrow)....
....but today we made it special for the kiddos!
It was cold and dreary this afternoon, so I decided that an afternoon at the movies was the perfect solution! I took the big kids to see "The Tooth Fairy" while Chris and Greer set up for an awesome candlelit dinner at home! The kids LOVED it!
Dim lights. Candle-light. Cheesy, dollar-store gifts and decorations. Plastic Champagne Flutes filled with sweet tea (we forgot the sparkling grape juice). Norah Jones on the Apple TV. Jarred Spaghetti (their favorite). Paper Napkins. Mom and Dad waiting on them hand and foot (we had the waiter and waitress thing down pat!).....
Lucy said, "Y'all are the best Mom and Dad, EVAH!"
Reeves asked, "Are we Rich? Are you our Servants?"
Chris said, "Yeah Buddy, something like that...."
He's our all boy, athletic, Daddy loving, amazingly messy, school adoring, people pleasing, ultra sensitive, fruit craving, mercifully giving, bed hopping, dangerously destructive, absolutely precious first born.
She's our extremely funny, big hearted, completely dramatic, very talkative, nurturing, terribly sassy, independent, fashion forward, chocolate craving, brown eyed, Mommy helping, sorta sneaky, beautifully stunning second born!
4 kind words:
Loved the candlelight dinner!!!! WHAT FUN FOR YOUR KIDS AND WHAT A GREAT MEMORY FOR THEM! (sounds like it needs to be SCRAPBOOKED!!!)Hey, I used the very same "CHEESY VALENTINE GIFTS" (new Dollar Store by Target, right?!? Don't you LOVE it?!), for mine and Terry's Valentine/Anniversary dinner! LOL! He enjoyed the cheesy Valentine flutes, too!...Hope the 911 call wasn't for an accident!...Miss you ! Hugs! Mama Fry xxoo <><

Dear Blogfriend~
I think it's so awesome that you made such a fun deal of Valentine's day for your kids. We always try to make it special for our kids too, not JUST make it about mom and dad going on a date or something. I think I may have to copy you on this next year!!
Can you tell me how you cross out your words on your post? I always have things that I want to say and cross out like that and don't know how to do it!
And from up here in the Frozen Tundra of MN, you can have some or all of our snow!! :) Although it does make things beautiful and bright when the sun is shining!
