The Sleepover

Ok, so I know I haven't blogged in a very long time. So here's the most blog-worthy stuff that's happened lately (other than Christmas, which I forgot to blog about). First of all let me tell you about this WONDERFUL swing that Ben & Michele got me for Emily (Baby Shower present). It's the most amazing creation there is! I put Emily in it & in a matter of a couple of minutes she's out. It's so great :). I know that sounds terrible, but I just have to have time to my housework & me time. The swing is the perfect baby accessory & I recommend that everybody with a new baby have one. So again, thank you my saviors, Ben & Michele; you guys are so wonderful!


On Tuesday Hila came by & stayed the night with us. It was a fun night. We can't call it a girl's night because Nick was at the house & involved in some of the stuff we did. First we went to Ben & Micheles for a little bit to visit & give Michele back her book, New Moon. After that we went to the store & picked up a few things for dinner & for the cookies we were going to make later. When we got home at around 5 pm we started dinner. We had hamburgers & chips (appropriate food for a sleepover, in my opinion) for dinner. While we ate dinner we watched family videos, which are totally hilarious! Nick got a kick out of them, especially because I felt the need to strip in the majority of the videos (I was only like 2 years old so lets not freak out) haha! Man I had issues. After we finished dinner & Hila got her shower we started on our cookies, YUM. We made Melt in Your Mouth Sugar Cookies with powdered sugar icing. Desiree told us that she wanted pink flower cookies to eat, but as the evening progressed she forgot about the flowers & told us she wanted pink heart cookies; which was a tiny bit of a problem considering the fact that I don't have any cookie cutters. We were able to improvise on the hearts at least. Hila cut one of the finished cookies into a retarted looking heart (sorry no pictures of her botched heart....haha, I love you Hila) & I molded some of the dough into little hearts for Desiree. Once the cookies had cooled Hila dipped them into the pink icing (Hila brought food coloring just for Desiree's pink cookies). While we were finishing the cookies we watched the two first episodes of the new season of Scrubs, the first episode wasn't that great, but the second one was pretty funny. After Scrubs we watched the Mentalist, well Hila did anyway, while I did some mom stuff. Once the shows were finished we went back to watching the rest of one of the Family Videos DVDs...we really are a crazy family (especially then). It was so much fun. After the end of the DVD we all went to bed, well, Desiree went to bed about 9:30. We had such a fun & busy day that she zonked out after about 10 minutes of being in bed, a very rare anomoly (spelling?), especially for the tiny bit of a fit she threw to stay awake (those are worse if Aunt Hila's not here to witness them & offer incentive); my poor baby was so exhausted, here are the results of our fun & busy day with Hila, & Desiree's hear cookie.

Even Emily couldn't keep up, my cute little squeaker :). We didn't get to bed until like 2 am. So the next day when Desiree woke Hila up at 9 am I felt so awful. But Hila didn't mind, Desiree was just so excited to see Aunt Hila & tell her about sleeping in her own bed all night without any accidents. She's my cute patoot. Poor Hila didn't get very much sleep, but she got up with Desiree & made her breakfast (Princess cereal). Emily & I got up at around 10 something & while I was feeding Emily, Hila made Egg in a Frame for us to eat for breakfast. After breakfast we watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, it was a pretty cute movie. I watched more of it than Hila did, & here's the reason why.

That's me looking at Hila's blog & laughing about the picture of my little frog (little squeaker laying on me). After the movie we had lunch & watched tv before Hila had to go to take Grandma & Grandpa to an appointment. Poor Hila. That was our sleepover.
