It SNOWED today!

On Sunday we almost reached a record high temperature. . .somewhere around 78 degrees. It actually felt HOT. I came down with a bad case of SPRING FEVER. Yesterday the high was about 30, and then today it snowed. A lot. Like 10 inches in some areas. Just writing about it is depressing me. . .so I am going to talk about more exciting things. . .like this past week-end!

Saturday was a very busy day for us. Mackenzie and I went to a birthday party for Calvin (the neighbor across the street). . .who was celebrating his fourth birthday! We went to one of those really cool and crazy places where the kids get to bounce, slide, run, and jump on those HUGE bounce "houses". I LOVE that place. It totally wears the kids out and they have a great time in the process.

After the bouncing the kids got to eat cupcakes, ice cream, and chips. They also got their fair share of lemonade and/or fruit punch. After they finished their snacks, Calvin got to open some very cool gifts. . .


When the party was over, each child got a "loot" bag FULL of some little trinkets. Mackenzie's favorite?? The eye patch. Go figure.

Matt had to miss the party to do a commercial photo shoot for the St. Charles Business Magazine. So Matt had to work while Mackenzie and I got to play! :) After the photoshoot Matt picked us up from the party then we all went home and took LONG naps!

Saturday night we had another party to attend. . .this one just happened to be at our house. . .but it was hosted by Matt's parents! Every year they host (from far, far, away. . .in a totally different state) a Valentine's Day Pizza Party. As many of their kids, in-laws, and grandkids get together and celebrate V-Day by eating pizza, playing games, and spending some very good quality time with each other. This year we had a blast. . .we ate Papa John's pizza, salad, wings, and brownies! YUM! Afterwards we bowled, boxed, and played a bit of tennis. . .on a Wii of course! It was great!
