our active day

Well, I've got some time to myself as Belle is down for a nap, to blog what we've been upto since this morning...I have to do it now as I plan on just enjoying this evening and the weekend with my family.
Today, Belle and I ran to make an errand. We had a healthy lunch (cesar salad) and she also had some other healthy snacks. We came back to do some chores in the house and I like to get them done so I don't have to worry about it on our weekend. It is supposed to be a lovely one too so I want to get outside...I'll post some pictures on Monday of our, "out and abouts" :)
I also put some of our colorful Valentine's Day themed decorations outside. I love this time of the year...the weather is cool, I can have the windows open and decorate for the up-coming holidays. Our pourch I decorated with some homemade tissue paper and pink paper flowers (I stapled them to our lit tree outside)-should look really pretty tonight. I have our wreath up along with a sign on the door that says, "Love". Also a "Welcome" sign birdhouse and some Hello Kitty Valentine's. I still may re-arrange and place a bouquet of flowers (on the stand) on the pourch...We'll see. This is it for now :)--------------->

I plan on doing some major cleaning while Belle is asleep...gives me at least 2 hours....so, I better get going....
Oh, I noticed that our neighbors (Stacy and Eric) whom are two doors down, had their baby boy....How exciting! Balloons and a blue bear hanging in their flower pots!! I can't wait to see little Keegan and have some play dates in the future. They are nice neighbors. We've gotten to know them better from the last few months....
Our other Neighbors (Alan and Jean) are going to be leaving for NJ on Sunday...this week has flown right by fast....we plan on getting together Saturday night (tommorrow) before they leave. We've been so tired and busy too that we've not been able to get together. We hope they have a safe trip back as northern weather looks questionable.
Ray has to work another Saturday tommorrow, overtime as usual. But, he should be here with us at normal time (just after 3pm) Thank God! We miss him dearly!!!

Middle picture and bottom picture of Belle two nights ago...
her sleeping at night is still bothersome to her so this was pictures of her trying to settle at midnight on Wednesday the 12th...I wait until she is ABSOULUTELY tired before she goes into her room at night. I caught her sucking her fingers on the couch next to me and the other picture was of her being sweet with me as she wanted the phone in her hand---------->

Well, here's to cleaning for me....and we all hope you have a great evening and weekend! Updates Monday :)

Take care and God Bless!
