Hey everyone! Well things have quieted down in the Daleen House. Everyone seems to have recovered from the flu bug. Thank God!! And I never got it! It's a miracle!!!
We celebrated Valentine's Day this past week. Rick had to work, so we all went to Winfield to have dinner with him. There's really only two places to eat...the Winfield local IGA grocery store and a take-out Chinese food restaurant...so we opted for Chinese!
Today Emma went next door for Sydney's 5th birthday party...she had a great time! She LOVED the birthday cake...well, really just the icing! Then, we went to see the new Veggie Tale's Pirate movie...and then we stopped by the grocery store to buy everything we needed to make real homemade ice cream sundaes! Now we're nestled in for the night...Jackson and Emma (after fighting most of the day) have now opted to play together...they're in the princess tent playing pretend restaurant...cooking up a storm! I've been at the computer for the last hour, looking at recipes and coming up with a weekly menu plan to help me be more organized and add some variety. Look out Julia Childs and Rachel Ray...I'm stepping out of my comfort zone!!! It's somewhat of a challenge to find things that are Weight Watcher's friendly that the kids will eat.. They love anything covered in Velveeta cheese and that just doesn't work for me! Wish me luck!!

The House of Sickness
Well--we've been home-bound all weekend. I'm now moved into the guest room...Rick has been in bed since Wednesday. Seriously...since Wednesday! Emma and Jackson have the runny nose/cough left from their bout with the flu.
We had 8" of snow here--I let Jackson go out and play for about an hour. Emma has been dying to go, but I haven't let her due to her cold. So I let her wear her snow boots in the house and I made snow slushy drinks.
I've cooked all weekend--homemade chicken noodle soup, beef stew, oatmeal raisin cookies, cinnamon rolls...grilled cheese, homemade quesadillas...There isn't too much more I know how to cook!
Super Bowl is tonight--Emma keeps asking when the golfball is coming...She's a little confused:) No big plans other than to camp out and watch the game/commercials with the kids.
Hoping that maybe tomorrow Rick will feel better and come out of the bedroom! Wonder if everyone wasn't sick, would we just jump right back into our crazy lives...maybe this is God's way of forcing us to take a break and just spend time together. For as sick and crabby as everyone has been, it's been really great to be home and take care of my family.
