Spider Woman!

Can you believe that I went rock climbing this weekend? We had a wild time. I have two friends with birthdays in February, so we decided to combine their parties and do something crazy! They chose to go rock climbing at this place down in Everett. I had so much fun. We had two instructors there that put us on ropes and let us climb up the walls about 2 or 3 stories. It was great. It was the fact that we were six grown women doing this together that made it so much fun. To my amazement, I was pretty good at it. At least I could go pretty fast up the walls...until my arms gave out from exhaustion after about 2 hours or climbing. Afterwards, we came back to my house for a friendly dinner and some "Dance Revolution" (that's my dancing video game that us girls love to play). I'm glad that we can all still be kids at heart!

Backing up to Friday night (Valentine's Day), we had a party here! Yes, there were 9 kids running around here. We had a bunch of friends leave their kids with us so they could get the night away. It was actually a really great time. After heart-shaped ham and jello for dinner, a little crafting, and Care Bear movies, the night ended as a success. The boys jumped on and played pillow fight with Mike and I tried to entertain some of them with making cards and other crafts. We didn't make the older kids go to bed at all. They just laid around the livingroom floor in sleeping bags and watched movies until their parents came to get them at ten. Maybe we'll even do it again someday.

Sunday was a lazy day for us. I took a long nap because I was so wiped out. The girls have a little bit of some kind of cold, so they have been sleeping more. It seems like something else has gone on lately that I am forgetting. Oh well, right now everything is great. Love to you all, Shawna
