this last week

michael caught the stomach bug the kids had so i got to spend friday  night reading my book and eating a leftover cookie

 i love seeing these two play together

 he is so loved and taken care of

 nice mustache

 finally got to go out for a valentine's day date on saturday

we went to dinner at the cheesecake factory with michael's birthday gift card from last may

and then to see the greatest showman with michael's free movie tickets from work

so it was a free date and so much fun! i loved it

 olive and i made her a new dress for church on sunday

using the fabric my mom made me a dress with when i was her age

she loved it so much

 meanwhile i stayed home from church with some boys

 who were still recovering from the stomach bug

jude loves being scooted around

 he is sitting on my lap while i'm trying to read my book

he reminds me of his dad :)

 president's day started out with some playdough

and jude learning to climb on the table 

 tuesday bedhead

 and playing in the kitchen with all the chairs and stools

 i always line the girls backpacks up before school once they have their lunches packed 

but henry wanted his lined up, too 

so cute

 baby shower prep

lots of balloons

 i had been wanting to try my hand at a balloon arch and i'm pretty happy with how it turned out

 mr nakie pants running away mid diaper change

 the spread 

it was all delicious

 the guest of honor and her soon to be baby boy

 today we woke up to snow!!! we haven't had snow since Christmas so the kids were thrilled!!

 sometimes i get impatient so instead of waiting for michael and his muscles i do things myself

the girls bunk beds were recently separated so they were both on the ground

but they kept sleeping in each other's beds

 so we decided to trade noah's queen for them so they have more room

 a twin fits so much better in noah's small room 

 henry got the other bunk in his room

 so heavy. i was sweating

 olive and eleanor's new queen to share

they will love having more space

and they are so cute sleeping together

quite the work out

i am wiped but it's nice to remind myself i am strong and can do hard things
