My Cowgirl and Dinner Out!

Valentine Day Festivities!

Charlotte gave her Daddy big smiles when he got home from work on Valentine's Day. She always does this. :)

 That day was extra busy for us because Morgan still had ballet.

 Because we got home so late we opened our gifts to eachother the next day. Daniel had already brought home a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and two delicious gourmet cinnamon rolls for me. I felt spoiled and I'm not going to lie, it felt good!

Below, Daniel gave Morgan a pink rose. It was all his idea. I loved, loved, LOVED this!

 Morgan's face was so sweet as she opened her gift which contained a card, Valentine Elmo book, a marshmallow treat and a box of chocolates. 

 She picked out her bows. She's constantly bringing me bows and asking me to put them in her hair.

 This is what her daycare provider made for each child. I love that she makes each holiday so special. It is very much appreciated!

Feel The Love!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had some friends over one evening so I made heart shaped brownies.

 We made Morgan's Valentine cards this year.

 Morgan was delighted to make treats and pass them out to the kids at her daycare. I stayed a little while at her daycare while dropping her off today to witness the big smile on her face as she passed out her Valentines. So cute!

Hope you're feeling the love too!

Even Want to Remember the Sick Times

I'm good about documenting the big events that take place in the Irwin household but sometimes I forget to document the little day to day stuff. I think this is the stuff that will evoke more emotion when I'm looking at this blog much later in life.
Right now Morgan has a pretty bad cold. She awoke from her nap yesterday with a fever and both Daniel and I were losing our patience because she wouldn't stop crying long enough to take some fever reducer. Right at the peak of our frustration poor Morgan threw up her ENTIRE lunch all over herself and her bed. She was laying on her back and began to choke as I swooped in to sit her up. This of course meant that I put myself in the direct line of fire. Daniel immediately started running a bath and grabbing towels as I began to strip the clothes off of her. I'm so thankful that I have him by my side especially during times like this. We both jump into action somehow knowing exactly what to do. Morgan is fine but still real congested. I enjoyed bathing her and while drying her off I kept telling her it was okay because her Mommy was here and would take good care of her. I layed her on our bed with a blanket, pillow and tissues and let her pick out a movie.

I'm trying to prevent anyone else from getting sick especially since there's a two month in the house but that's kind of a joke with a sick three year old. I'm constantly reminding her to cover her nose when she sneezes and to use tissue and wash her hands. She's doing better but let's just say our house is a germ fest right now. While looking around the house today I couldn't help but like the way it looked with tissues and blankets everywhere. Our home is our little safe haven. Not so much because of the structure but because of the family living within it.

Library

There are some great classes offered during the week at the library. I just took Charlotte and Morgan to one where Morgan was able to sing songs and listen to stories with other children her age. I'm going to take the girls a few more times before I go back to work.

Success!

Whether it's warranted or not, I'm proud of myself for getting a cart full of groceries while having both girls. Morgan sat in the cart while Charlotte was strapped to my chest in her sling. I'm starting to do more around town with both girls and it feels good. 

The Girls Lately

 I've been able to keep Morgan out of my jewelry box for 3 years now but I knew it wouldn't last forever.

 Morgan joined Charlotte on the floor to watch some cartoons.

 Daniel took this picture because he said he loves the look on Morgan's face when she watches tv.

 I love our baby sling! We've been taking advantage of the fact that I'm off during the week. We drop Morgan off at daycare and then go on lunch dates together. As long as Charlotte is in the sling, she doesn't make a sound.
