Monday Musings Done A-musingly

Happy Monday to you! Happy Presidents' Day to you!

We're past the midway point in the month and cruising crazily towards March already. Amazing, huh?

We enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend, complete with a birthday celebration and lots of hearts and chocolates.

Edward truly enjoyed turning 8, I think. I find it hard to believe he's that age. Sigh. Only two more years and he'll be a decade old. In the double digits.

We went to Old Country Buffet for his birthday dinner. Not the sort of place you'd think would be crowded on a holiday focused on love and romance...right? Wrong. We got there close to 4 p.m., and it was already packing out. Hmm.... On our way home afterwards, we got caught in the throngs of traffic. It reminded me of Christmastime, the crowds were so thick.

Ethan seemed to enjoy his first Valentine's Day. He was indeed a heartbreaker in his "irresistible" t-shirt. He'll probably enjoy it more when he can partake of the chocolate treats for which this holiday is infamous. He turned 5 months old on Valentine's Day. Another fact that's hard to imagine. He'll celebrate his first "half-birthday" next month. Still no interest in trying to roll over again. He did it once, and I guess he's satisfied. But he's desperate to sit up. He does "crunches" all the time. Stuart said it won't be long before he has abs of steel.

Well, I'm off to enjoy a school holiday. You have to love our prezzies for creating a nice break in routine in the middle of the winter.

Ciao for now!
