Anton was out of town on my birthday this year, and I had to work so I went into my birthday thinking it was just going to be another day in the life of a Mom. But, it ended up being a really fun day thanks to so many people making me feel special. I walked into work and my cute co-workers had tied balloons to my chair...who knew getting balloons as an adult could make you feel so special?! They also bought a cake and a sweet gift. I work with some pretty remarkable people. That day I also went to lunch with Emily, Nate and my parents for my birthday lunch. Anna and Jake couldn't make it, but we didn't want to push it off for fear of it not happening, which I am glad we didn't cancel because it was so much fun.
Later that night, I hosted my monthly dinner club. I made my favorite chocolate cake from scratch, and they were in charge of bringing all the delicious food! It was a fun birthday after all!!
Like I mentioned before, Lilly has been wanting to cook lately. This particular day I just really really really didn't want to make a mess in the kitchen and cook something. So, I casually asked her if she wanted to make a yummy drink instead, with hopes of her saying yes...and she did! We went to the store and bought the smoothie mix, and she made herself a smoothie! Win win!
Getting ready for valentines. I love this picture of Lilly. She is so sweet.
I worked on Valentines Day, but I was still able to go and help out in the girls classes. I was in charge of Lilly's class party, and ended up having a lot of parents come to help out so I went to Claire's class to help because they were short of parent volunteers. I love going into their classrooms - it is one of my favorite things. How cute are their mailboxes?!
We have a lady at work that does the most darling balloon animals. She has some serious talent! She was taking orders for these cute little balloon animals that were attached to candy cups so I ordered one for each of the girls. The little alien guy even lit up! He was perfect for Claire. The girls loved it, and I loved that I didn't need to come up with something clever for Valentines Day - it was so easy, and the girls loved them!
My mom and I went shopping for my birthday and went to the most darling boutique. When we were checking out, we saw these darling stuffed animals. My kids need a new stuffed animal like they need a hole in the head. BUT, these were just too cute and the funny looking Ostrich just screamed "Claire", so my mom bought it for Claire and I bought the little owl for Lilly. They loved them!
Claire thinks you need to remove your shirt when doing arm wrestles. Yikes!!
