Please note that we were out in a parking lot of a car lot and she was not wearing her seat belt since we were waiting on the guys to get done. SHE DOES always have her belt on when we are driving.

CRASH 365:52&53

My son's car was hit while parked :( turns out that it was totaled. It took up two days of our life. he's quite upset but as I said to him life is full of ups and downs. We will get another car and things will move forward.

I just love her SO MUCH

Busy Sunday

I had to get some grocery shopping done and was proud of my coupon and store sale savings :)

Meanwhile back at home Billy was trying to get the ceiling fan down (a six week project) and was having a hard time with it. The trick is that the ring against the ceiling has to be broken off to expose the screws.

Later we had his family over.

Valentine's dinner

Tonight we went to the Hibachi grill at Yuki Japanese It was really fun and the food was pretty good. We were seated with a bunch of college kids celebrating their 20 something birthday's. They looked at us like the old people and it was pretty darn funny.

Sick

Husband was sick today so I didn't take pics of anything. I will say it was nice to have time to myself since everyone else was in bed by 8pm ahhhhhhhh alone time :) I did have a glass of wine and relax.

Basketball :)

Tonight we went to SO basketball. This was Em's first time doing Special Olympics or any kind of organize ports and it was really kinda fun :)

Today, is about Millie

Today I am sharing Millie.

I should have shared her yesterday on Valentine's day but today will have to do.

Millie is an orphan with Down syndrome and she needs a home; TODAY.

Adopt Millie TODAY

People often ask why I care about a young girl that's half a world away from me and the answer is very simple; she needs someone to give a damn. I know that if my own daughter was in and institution she would not have come this far AND like my daughter Millie is nonverbal which makes her extra vulnerable, she cannot tell you when something is wrong. SO, I keep caring, posting, praying and hoping that someone will see her and be able to adopt her. Is that someone you?

So when we got the house last year one of the annoying things about it was that there was CARPET, yes, carpet in the kitchen!!!

Well, I have been hesitant to take it up because

I was worried about what might be under there.

Today, I took the carpet up &

THIS is what I found. Yes, the pattern is ugly BUT the floor is in great shape

Kidney stones were the words for these two days and I was in no mood to take pics or post pics ALTHOUGH it would be cool if I could get my xray's from the dr!

Today we did stamping, I got this great Melissa & Doug Stamp set from Kids Woot.

She kept signing "help" even though she was doing just fine with it, I think sometimes she just wants me to do it for her. She did a good job with it :)

Salute!

This pic cracks me up, she SO into the TV show.

We're having such a crazy winter. Usually we would have several feet of snow on the ground but as you can see we're snow free. LOVING every minute of it :)

Emily and I continued to work on our Valentine project but I ran out of glue stick, I really don't understand how since I feel like I buy those every other week.

Nicole's homework was to show where she is today and map out the next 50 years of her life, this is what she came up with :)

365:30 Starting our Valentine cards

Today we started on our Valentine Day cards. I am having Emily color on construction paper and then

I am VERY proud at how well she holding the paper and marker now :) such HUGE steps.

I am taking that paper and cutting out hearts to form these cards, she will then add stickers AND stamp her name. We have to start early because there are many to do.

365:27 Home sweet home

I'm in NY for the weekend and I have to admit that I love being home. The Landmark Diner was a place we used to go after late nights out, I was shocked to see this two story fantastic restaurant. I have to say I really miss diner's living up here in NH.
