Happy Valentine's Day! (A little late)

To all our Valentine's.....Happy Belated Valentine's Day!!!!!!!! We have been racing around this week and unfortunately could not get to the computer to work on the blog until now.
A Very Quick Valentine's Day "I LOVE YOU!"
(This really is the best picture I could get!)
Our Valentine's Day celebrations consisted of sending our Valentine's that Gwen did herself, making pink play dough, making pink cupcakes, and wearing a new pink shirt!!!!! Her favorite color is still pink in case you were wondering! We had a nice candle-lit dinner (sorry I didn't take pictures) and then watched Finding Nemo--sooooo romantic!

As usual, Gwen is keeping us busy and entertained. She recently discovered that ANYTHING can be a hat...

How to draw Mickey Mouse....(using a bowl to trace out the body and little help from Daddy for the face)
And that life is better when you can be outside!!!!!!! We hit 68 degrees today and bolted for the playground as soon as we came home from school!
I called her a "cutie", but she was calling herself a "cootie"!

"Do you see any buried treasure, Mommy?"
(Thanks to the new Disney cartoon about pirates that started this week, play now is all about hunting for gold and treasure!)
"I'm sooooo excited to be outside again!!!!!!"
We're almost there. Today marked 36 weeks, so only 4 more weeks until the due date!!!!

Brad is thinking I won't make it to March 16th; his guess...March 12th. We shall see!!! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and will be keeping everyone posted on how it goes. As of today, contractions have slowed down, I am having about 1-3 a day now instead of that many in an hour. I am definitely getting tired faster, but other than that I am feeling great. I still have a cold that I just can't shake, but I can't complain. I'll keep everyone posted on tomorrow's updates.
