The Routson Family B & E: We are so spoiled!

Another week with snow and we stayed home from school for 3 days!!! My kids are getting so used to me being home - just practicing for next year ;). Beckett ran into our bedroom this morning, as he always does, and yelled to Neal "Is mommy home?!" and Neal mumbled "yeah" (It was 5:29 am) and Beckett fist pumped a loud "YESSSSSSSSSS." Yeah, my kids love me - feeling's mutual kiddo.

We had fun on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday playing in the snow, doing things around the house, working in Beckett's preschool work book and trying to keep Emerson off her cast! It has started rubbing behind her leg and she gets really upset if you put a bandaid on any part of her body! Just falls out over it - my little diva. <3

Saturday, Neal and I got a babysitter (gasp) for the day! We got to start celebrating Valentine's Day early this year! We went downtown and tried to get into the Black Sheep but the wait was ridiculous so we went to Legends and had some beers and talked over lunch. It's hard to believe this is our 15th Valentine's together. We were holding hands and he said "Are you getting tired of me yet?" Not even close homie. We are in a really good place right now. I am trying harder than ever to work on our marriage being first, which can be difficult to do with a 2 and 4 year old in the house, but it is so rewarding. Love really is the greatest gift.

We went on a family walk last night since it was finally warming up outside and a lady passed us in her SUV, stopped, reversed, rolled down her window and shouted at us "All y'all need is another kid and another dog! hahahaha" OH NO, no thank you lady - we have our hands full already. It gave us a good laugh but we probably looked like quite a sight with a wagon, a bike and a 100 lb. lab pulling us along. :)

Here are our weekly photos! Phil saw his shadow today so maybe we'll get lucky with a few more days at home in February!
