So I know I have A LOT of catching up to do (which I will do in successive posts); but I figure I might as well start with the most recent!Thursday morning we said goodbye to Grandpa Treiber who stayed with us for 2 weeks. It was great to have him here and the girls loved having another person to play with and harass (just a little)!
We were sad to see him go and I spent a good chunk of the day trying to explain that Grandpa wasn't upstairs or on a walk, and that he was on plane on his way back to mom and dad's homeland! So, it was a good thing that we had a few things to keep us busy! With so much going on I almost completely forgot about heart day (even though people can go a bit overboard with the "holiday") so we had to get creative.

The girls' first time with finger paint was quite entertaining. Stella was pretty grossed out by all the "gunk" on her hands at first, but quickly summoned her inner Picasso. Lucy was all about it from the second I squirted the stuff out of the tube.
Next we got the cook books out and paged through until we found something tasty (it was actually more like going through webpages, based on the ingredients we had). We selected the not-very-unique, but very tasty, red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I received some lovely cupcake cards from my mamasita that I used to place quotes on top for the hubs. I also attempted to rearrange the cheetah lounge into a "restaurant" so that Dave and I could have dinner up there. We hustled to get everything done, but we did and then the waiting began!
Dave got home from work with wine and steaks in tow and we got to work getting dinner together. We delayed feeding the girls until we were ready so we could eat at the same time (just on different floors- is that bad??) The girls still use their high chairs and they love to be strapped in anyway, so they strapped themselves in, they got some good dinner eats, and the extra special treat of dining-room-table entertainment of Elmo and Super Grover as Dave and I booked it up the the Cheetah club for our own meals. We had a solid hour. It was great!!
