our LOVELY little life: Sweet V-Day Weekend!

We had a super fun and busy weekend. Drew has been playing basketball for the YMCA this winter and is having a ball! He is the youngest on the team and almost the smallest but he is a little scrapper and is always right in the middle of the action! He doesn’t come close to making the ball to the basket even with the hoops lowered. But he sure does a great job hustling and going after the ball and he's not a bad dribbler either.

We spent our Saturday night with friends and a fun trivia night benefiting a little boy with cancer. We had an awesome table of friends and food and of course drinks. I made some V-day cake balls and also brought along these awesome chips which happen to be made right here in STL. So good…but yet so bad. I feel a major diet coming my way SOON!

The weather this past weekend was the icing on the cake…fantastic! We were able to spend some time outside on Sunday cleaning out the garage (major snow crud) and finally took down the Christmas lights…pathetic, I know! Drew played outside most of the day with his neighbor friends and this was the first time since Brooke started to walk that she was able to run around outside without all of the snow. She loved it even though she did fall and got a little bump on her forehead and scrap on her nose.

We finished up our evening with a trip to Imo’s and then back home for the Grammy awards. It’s amazing how good pizza taste when it’s delivered to your table straight from the oven. We are so used to ordering pizza and having it deleviered that we TOTALLY forgot what a hot and fresh pizza tasted like…so ooey and gooey and delish! Again…another reason for the much needed diet!

Darren is out of town this week for work so the kids and I are flying solo. Monday was fun and I was able to attend Drew’s V-day party at school. I love seeing him in his element at school and wish I could be a fly on the wall everyday. Interacting with those little kids is so fun!
