~GIRLS WEEKEND~

We spent the weekend at the cabin doing pretty much whatever we wanted to. Gotta love weekends like that! Stephanie brought her card making supplies with her and we scrap booked and made cards until we were creatively drained. We all love to make cards but without Stephanie there we are like babies learning to take our first steps...She has to hold our hands and show us everything. Lucky for us she is sort of patient! Lucky for us she has all of the "stuff" that is needed to make everything and when I say everything, I mean "EVERYTHING"! We turned out card after card each one getting just a little better than the one before. By the time weekend was over we had all become what I now refer to as "Cardatiers" ie one who makes cards.

THANKS Stephanie for your talent and your patience with all of us.


It was fun to have Ali there with us for the weekend. She thinks that at "6" she is now a teenager. She wants her mom to talk to her like she is a teenager and treat her like she is "big". None of this little girl stuff...Until she needs the little girl stuff to work for her that is...Then it is okay to be "6" again. She LOVED playing with the dogs. Thor is so much bigger than her. Well, Thor is pretty much bigger than all of us but, Ali is not one to be intimidated. She just used her big "teenager" voice and pretty much ruled that dog.

Stephanie had a project that she was doing for Valentines Day for her kids. Making Owls...We are all now very skilled at making google eye Owls! They are so cute! Yes, along with everything else that she does, she also makes the kids Valentines. These when they are done will say: "Who loves you". Where did I get her and why didn't I get some of that artsy-fartsy stuff that runs through her veins?



We played in the snow with the dogs. We read our books. We watched movies. We played scrabble. We put together puzzles and even slept in! What a great weekend. Let's do it again soon!
