Happy belated Valentines Day.
Posted Sunday, February 15, 2009, 9:38 AM, CST by Dawn | Happy Valentines Day late. We were busy running errands yesterday and doing some shopping. Hank got the girls and I teddy bears and a rose. I got chocolate. I felt bad because we weren抰 going to do anything special and I hadn抰 bought him anything. He didn抰 care of course. We have been going back and forth for about a year and a half about buying a Play Station 3. It is a game system that uses Blue Ray technology. We bought a high definition TV last year and we have a video camera that records in high definition. We haven抰 been able to watch the home movies because we don抰 have a Blue Ray player. We also wanted a PS3 because we like the games Rock Band and Sing Star better on that system. You can download new songs unlike the Wii which is very limited. Yesterday I finally told Hank he cold have his PS3. We went out and bought it and also bought the Rock Band kit. I told him we have a little extra money so he抎 better go and get it because it will be a while before we can afford it again. I can now say I out did his Valentines gift. We watched some of our home movies on it last night. They look beautiful. We also played Rock Band. Jordan likes the drums and guitar, So does Hank. Alyssa likes singing and the guitar. The drums are a little hard for her but she will get better. I like to sing. I can do the guitar but haven抰 in a while. We will be getting a second guitar soon so 4 of us can play at once. Ashlyn is a little young to play the instruments so she likes to dance while we play. Amiyah likes to sing so we give her a microphone that is not plugged in and she has fun. Hank and I have to go do Girl Scout cookie booth soon at the BX. Hank doesn抰 have to work tomorrow so he will have a nice 3 day weekend with us. I bought coat hooks for the downstairs and the girl抯 room. I always have coats, hats, bags and purses floating around the house because the girls can抰 reach to hang them up in the closets. Hank is putting the hooks low so they can reach. I bought Amiyah a water table for her birthday. I also got her a Little People airplane. She likes Little People. She got a house and school bus for Christmas. I won抰 buy her much. She gets a lot of toys handed down from her sisters. My sister-in-law Jenny mailed me a box of maternity clothes so I should get those in the next week. We have taken turns with them for a couple of kids now. We add things each time so we have quite a wardrobe now. We had pastries at school with the girls on Friday morning. We had to get up early to get there buy 7am. They had a good time. Hank took Jordan and the girls to skate night on Wed. They all love going to that. I got some much needed housework done. I have more energy in the evenings but they are all usually home so I don抰 bother trying to clean around them. I cleaned out the laundry room and moved the computer into it on Friday afternoon. Don抰 worry the desk has wheels and Jordan helped. This freed some space in my dinning room. We are trying to make space where we can. We will probably be in this house for a while before we get to the top of the 5 bedroom waiting list. I had my 20 week ultra sound Thursday. He is still a boy and he looks great. He was somewhat uncooperative for the tech. I though of course he is he is my child. Well I am going to take a shower before I go peddle those demon cookies. Love you all.
