A Little Something Extra

When you do nursery duty in church, there are a few things you can expect (especially in the 7 months to walking nursery). 1) It's a great hour of social time, especially when your good friends work with you. 2) Get ready to have to yell over the screaming. If one starts, it's more than likely that the rest will chime in as well. 3) You may get sick. 4) Someone might get sick on you..

This last one was experienced by Will last Sunday. It may look silly to have a flower apron and latex gloves on when dealing with children but it saved Will from getting the full brunt of the attack. The child (whose identity has been hidden) decided, after eating a bunch of cheerios and drinking his 8oz bottle of milk, that his stomach didn't like the contents and he vomited all over Will and his shoes. I felt bad for the baby but it did make all of us glad that it was the one wearing the "protective gear" who got "blessed." Thanks, babe!

This week is Valentine's day, as we all know, and I had to take a picture of Lynnea's shoes that I especially bought for pictures during Christmas. Since I didn't even take a picture of her at Christmas but they're perfect for Valentine's Day too and they look so cute! I LOVE baby shoes.In other news, snow arrived in Southern California. No, it was just the residual snow that had been brought in to provide a little entertainment for the preschool crowd. On Sunday, this was all that was left. Since my kids had never seen snow, it provided at least 20 minutes of entertainment before we dragged them away (almost kicking and screaming).

Some friends of ours are leaving the area and moving up north so we went to their going away party. Lynnea got to say goodbye too. We'll miss them!

Here's my sister holding Lynnea. I haven't seen her too much in the last few weeks so it was a treat to see her at the party.

Here is the family shot they got for the going away party. Are we weird or what? Let me go on record as saying this was not my idea. It turned out cute anyway, even though I feel like I have a little bit of a "dimple all the way around my face" thing going on...oh well...

We had the priviledge of having the Goyers over the other night for some Survivor catch-up. We both hadn't seen the first episode of the new season so we got some pizza and hung out. It was lots of fun-they're so much fun to be with.

The kids enjoyed the pizza and breadsticks too. Little Caesear's pizza has $5 pizzas! You can't go wrong.
Beware: if you get the garlic sauce, it's easy to overdose on the stuff. It's bad for those of us trying to go back to the gym. It's worth it, though. MMMMM!!!
