No, we're not dead/Stuff from February

Riding the bus on the way to the cookie factory...I was a bus chaperone. :)

Rockin' the hair nets getting ready to tour Bud's Best Cookies...we rode a train through the factory, and even got some fresh warm cookies!

Ok, so here's my attempt to do a little catching up on this blog. I think I've said it before, but once I got a smart phone last Fall and could check email and surf the 'net, I really did not want to get on this slow computer. Really all I do on our home computer is print stuff, download stuff, and blog...all of which are rare occurances. But with a new baby coming in 18 days or less, here's my attempt at catching up.

So, February was pretty boring, at least looking back at pictures there was not much I deemed camera worthy, I guess. :) I know one thing missing is pics from the Bean's class Valentine's party, and that's because those pics are on my phone and I still can't figure out how to download them to my computer. Calling Verizon is on my to-do list. :)

The pics above are of us playing at a park with some good friends, on the Bean's class field trip to Bud's Best Cookies, and also of the Valentine's confection (brownies) that the Bean and I made.

February done. :) One month's post down, four more to go...

February Fun

The Bean loves her some party hats...you can barely see her skates in this pic. Yes, I skated, and I didn't break anything!!

The cookie decorating extravaganza

The cookie decorating attendees

Here are some photos of the Bean and I having fun this past month. Our SS class had a cookie decorating party for Valentine's at the Galleria, and all the kids had a blast! The Bean decorated her cookie, but didn't even eat it. She did, however, ask for more gummi bears. I don't think any of those made it on her cookie. We also rode the carousel afterward, which was a big hit w/ the Bean.

My brother's b'day is also in Feb., and to celebrate his wife threw him a surprise roller skating party! We left Baby G w/ our neighbors and took the Bean to Uncle Drew's party in Gadsden. She was a little scared of the roller skates at first, but then decided to give it a try. RR didn't skate, so he walked around the rink w/ the Bean holding her by the armpits so she could "skate." She loved "walking on wheels", as she called it. She also got a glow bracelet (there were black lights in the rink, so that was super fun) and had some cookie cake. She had so much fun in fact, that she did not go to sleep on the way back but chatted it up with us until we put her to bed around 10 pm. :)
