Saturday Adventures

Yesterday I got to go out for the day and celebrate my Shanna's birthday with pedi's, tasty food, and shopping.  We made it all the way down to Southcenter, which is real far away from our usual Fred Meyer, Costco and Target haunts.  It's amazing what's out there beyond the five mile radius of my house.

I ♥ my girl and loved our time together.  Thanks for a fun day, Shanna love.  So glad that I got to spend so much time with you yesterday, my sister of the heart!

While we were away, Chad took the boys on an adventure to the snow.  I was a little nervous for him to journey with all three of the boys to the wilderness without me there to remind us all to be cautious and careful, but they managed just fine without me.  (Well, to be entirely honest, Chad DID get the Adventure Dodge stuck in the snow; it's unlikely that would've happened with me there!  But other an that, all was well and everyone returned to me unscathed.  Well, to further the honesty, Chad DID come home with a giant scratch that spans the length of his arm, but other than that, everything really was fine.)   To read all about the boys' undertakings in the wild, click HERE for BWBB - Special Ops.

After such a great day, the fun continued with the Edwards girls coming over for dinner (which they brought....BONUS!), and some dancing, singing, and Play Doh'ing.  I even got to paint little Addison's toenails and fingernails.  It was so fun for me...and fun for her too, but I think a little more for me.  (I asked if I could do a little mini make-up session on the girls while they were left in my care; Amy said yes, but Daddy Derek seemed to disapprove, so we kept it strictly to appropriately light pink polish and nothing else!  We don't want the girls to get banned from the Boyd house because someone is too crazy over girl children to keep herself together!)

Addison kept telling me that her toenails and fingernails were, "So beautiful."  I couldn't agree more!  (I also asked her if I could do things to her hair, but she was opposed so I respectfully refrained.)



Such a fun day for everyone.  And let it also be mentioned that the SUN was SHINING!  This makes everything even better!  Hurry up, Spring!
