weekend over already?

with mike being out of town for most of december i feel like my own schedules been out of whack-meaning no planning like i usually do. most of saturday afternoon was spent looking at houses since mike was actually home. the house that i had high hopes for ended up falling short and the house that i felt "oh we'll just go and look at it " ended up being the one we love. i'll post more on the phaeton place later.


sunday was sweet kaylee's birthday. and this is what i mean by having nothing planned. no cake, no special birthday meal etc... since mike was to leave after we looked at two more houses. she got to open up a present in the morning. since she loves to do crafty things, like her mama, i got her her own craft tool box similar to the shims+sons. inside i put a jewelry box painting kit, scissors of her own, pencil sharpener, eraser + markers that click to open and shut- love those! at last minute we headed over to olive garden for lunch. we pretty much had 45 minutes to eat and drive to the first house. we ordered as soon as we sat down. here's kaylee opening her last present from us. she did take her sweet time.

besides the bike we got her late summer, we also got her a digital camera. this camera also plays a few games and its a video recorder too. it downloads to a computer or tv so she can "edit" her images. she totally loves it!!

and we cant forget about my handsome ham. he had 15 minutes to shower and get ready for lunch which he so appreciated- ha.

mike got ready to leave around 5pmish. kaylee kept telling him "don't go' (reminded me of the little girl in the patriot with mel gibson) and she would block the door from him. i could tell that she didn't want to cry but she ended up crying anyway. it was really sad and i even got teary eyed. after 10 minutes that mike had left she was still crying. i called him to tell him thanks for leaving me with a clogged up toilet. he heard her crying in the background and said he would come home and just leave around 4am. i told him he didn't have to but he said he didn't feel right leaving kaylee crying on her birthday. he did end up sneaking out around 8pm. we heard the roads were going to be pretty slick in the morning. i distracted her by having her watch "hanana patana" {kayleeism}.
