What a great weekend...

A busy weekend as usual, but with a lot of fun thrown in. Saturday was my mix it up day...
Once a month I head to the Mall of America with a some friends to attend a Mix-it-Up workshop. Never heard of Mix-it-Up you don't know what you are missing....It is the "best" thing I have discovered since chocolate :) go here to find out more about Mix-it-Up www.mixitupmeals.com I actually love to cook, imagine that!
Kevin and the kids joined me this time and we made a day of it at the Mall of America. We went to the Dinosaur Walk exhibit, Anthony loved all the Dinosaurs, Yahaira was completely unimpressed (she slept thru the whole thing) see pics above. We enjoyed shopping at the mall, it was the kid's first time, they did awesome, one always wonders about taking three small children to a crowded busy environment such as that. I was thrilled to visit a couple of Scrapbooking stores, found some great new papers, can't wait to use the frog one. I also found a new pair of shoes, they are called Crocs and they are so unbelievably comfortable you don't even know you are wearing shoes. I love these! When I saw the kiosk across the way I made a bee line for it...it took only a moment after I tried them on to know I had to have these. I had read a lot about these shoes and was curious but skeptical...So glad I got to see them and try them. I was hooked from that moment on. Want to see what they look like? Go here www.crocs.com mine are red. I am wearing them right now, and my feet are so happy...One warning they are so light weight you won't know you are wearing shoes...Walking in them for the first time was quite the challenge, my feet knew they had shoes on, but I couldn't feel them.
Sunday brought church, Anthony sang, I love when the little kids sing. In the afternoon we attended a Valentine Pool Party hosted by Eve. She is Anthony's age...The kids had a blast! Yahaira cried and cried to go back in to the pool. I send my praise to Eve and her family what a wonderful afternoon we had, big thanks for including us. Attaching some pics...Yahaira had a hat and shoes to match her swimsuit, I know overkill, but dressing little girls is just too much fun :)
after the pool party we went to Mt. Lake to visit our neighbor Dennis. Dennis is in the nursing home there, he looks so much better, this is for now a short term thing until he attends the pain clinic in early march. We hope the outcome will bring Dennis back home, but for now he is being very well taken care of. Well the laundry is calling my name :)
good night,
