FINALLY!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!
I am all caught up!! YES!!! Feel free to take your time reading through my million update posts... or feel free to skip over them all together. I wish I could've just skipped past doing them to finally get back to present blogging, but if I didn't do it now, it never would've happened, and all those cute pictures would've been wasted. So... let's just hope that the next time you hear from me will be sooner than two months.
Rewind: Caleb's Song...
(February 2010)
All afternoon I've listened to this. He's gotten a lot better. At first I couldn't even recognize the song.
(This is the song he was singing.)

Rewind: Soccer Playground...
(February 2010)
Caleb used to have soccer practice at the other end of the neighborhood. There is also a playground there. To distinguish between the one by us and the one over there we have 'our playground' and Caleb calls it 'my soccer playground' (in my head I can hear his little voice "Which playground? My sotter playground?"). Today we rode our bikes to the soccer playground.

Rewind: Girl's Night...
(February 2010)
We had a Girl's Night at my house and watched this:
I love Love LOVE this movie. If you are a Pride and Prejudice fan I highly recommend it. (If you have Netflix, it's one of their Instant-Play movies) It's the P&P story with a whole new twist. We also had lots of tasty treats to munch on while we enjoyed our movie:
(No, those are not brownies. They're peanut butter bars. Thanks Kacey)
(Cupcakes from Pollyanna)
(Avocado Truffles)

Rewind: Mini Luau...
(February 2010)
It was my turn to host playgroup this week. I decided to have a mini luau. We strung paper leis, ate fruit salad, and made an ocean-in-a-bottle:
(I love this photo. This is the classic Caleb face he gives when you ask him too look at you. He raises his eye brows really high and then looks out of the corner of his eye where he wants to be looking.)

Rewind: The Ball Pit..
(February 2010)
Caleb has a ball pit that's never been pulled out since we last moved. I decided to just sell it since we don't use it anymore. I put it up on craigslist using a standard product image I found online. Someone emailed me back asking if I had any real pictures of it. So I pulled it out, blew it up, and threw some balls in to snap some photos.
No pictures were taken. Just video...
Needless to say I'm not selling it. The sound of those giggles are just too precious. Marcus especially loves it. I moved it into Marcus's room one day to get it out of the way and I kind of forgot about it. While working around the house I could hear some type of screaming sound coming from the other room. I thought they were screams of distress, but as I got closer, I realized they were squeals of delight. Many squeals of delight, with grinning from ear to ear, and lots of giggles. Makes me feel guilty for even thinking of getting rid of it.

Rewind: Darren's Birthday...
(February 2010)
So I tried to plan a little get together for Darren's birthday, but what I didn't realize was that evening was when the Superbowl was on. Whoops. But we had a good time anyway. We had good food (including teriburgers and sweet potato fries to name a few), and for dessert we made MALASADAS! We had a bit of difficulty finding the right temperature for the oil (because the numbers on my skillet are all scratched off), but there was plenty of dough (and then some) to experiment a little before finding perfection.
I wasn't thinking and didn't take any pictures. Here's one that Darren snapped of the malasada-making. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the birthday boy on his birthday. Whoops again.
The one success of the evening, no "whoops" required, was Darren's gift. I compiled a book of letters written to Darren (not old letters, but letters written specifically for his birthday book). Thank you to all who contributed! I'm so pleased with how it turned out!!!
