This week was comprised of snow, no school, and Valentine's Day activities! Madeline didn't have school all week due to the weather and Presidents' Day. She was so looking forward to her party at school. Her box remains on our table ready to go for Wednesday. Of course, we have another snow storm coming so who knows!! 
I am still figuring out my camera especially when it comes to focusing. Once I get the basics mastered, I hope that the details will fall into place. Here are a few of my attempts. 
Grandma gave the girls Valentine aprons which they have worn 80% of the time since receiving them. HA :) So I decided that we would put them to good use by making a cake. The girls were especially good at putting the sprinkles on and eating the remaining icing. 
Saturday night we ( including Grandma) went to eat at Bistro GQ. What a yummy meal! I had veal and peppers which I polished off. I even had a Chocolate Kisses "martini" a.k.a. chocolate milk with some alcohol and a hugs kiss at the bottom. We saved the cake until the following day since we were all stuffed.

They were so cute. Matt picked out the girls' cards this year and he nailed it! He bought them musical cards; Hannah Montana for Madeline and Jonas Brothers for Meredith. Meredith LOVES her card. We have heard the tune a million times so far. She loves to dance to it , too! Lunch we had Papa over to visit. He suggested Chinese takeout so that is what we had. Yet again, it was another great meal, but this time with leftovers. 
For dinner, we were off to Grandma's house with Panera. Yes, for a change we got everything that we ordered. Madeline and Meredith were very excited to eat the iced cookies that Grandma had made. We could barely get them to play between dinner and dessert!
The previous post was in regards to our failed attempt of dislodging all the CDs out of the Bose player of Grandma. We were hitting it, using screwdrivers, followed the "instructions", etc. and NOTHING. It was then that we found that article and decided that a professional is going to have to take over from there.
