Big Birthday Weekend

The weekend of the 14th was a big weekend for us, both Mr. S and the Twin Snowflakes celebrate their birthdays that day, so we (I) had a lot to get ready for.
Friday evening while Mr. S was at football practice with Jr.Mr.S, TS2 and I did a WHOLE LOT of cooking!  In addition to party cooking, I also made the twins their b-day dinner so Mr. S could chose what he wanted on their actual birthday this year (TS2 chose last year).  Since TS1 LOVES shrimp pasta - that's what I made for them and even though I made up my own recipe (I forgot all of the ingredients for the recipe I have), it went over REALLY well (almost better than the real recipe).

It's all about L-O-V-E

I haven't always liked Valentines Day, but this year I'm feelin' the love from my wonderful husband and 5 great kids, so I want to go all out.

It started Thursday with my wonderful husband sending flowers to my office.  They're so pretty.

Busy, busy Snowflakes

As I wrote in my break-down post last night, it’s been a really busy week and a half around the Snowflake household. Here are a few highlights:

Last weekend, Mr. Snowflake asked his mom to babysit the girls so that we could finally have a date night. It was nice to have a few hours of time just to us; it’s been too long since we had an evening to ourselves. We caught a matinee showing of Sherlock Holmes (very good movie) and used some gift cards we got for Christmas and had drinks and dinner at Olive Garden (yum!).

Psst...I have a secret

I'm not a very cook and cannot bake.  There are a few things I cook for meals that are out of this world, but I'm pretty limited.  So when the meal-making falls on my shoulders (Mr. S is great and cooks about half the time), I turn to my secret recipe weapon: KraftFoods.com.
