EXHAUSTED!
After a fun-filled hectic weekend, I am exhausted! Every weekend we hit the ground running. I seem to fill every waking moment with activity. Part of the reason is because you want your kids to have fun and be active, but almost a bigger reason is the guilt of being a "working mom". I never thought I would be a working mom. I really don't see how anyone can afford it. I am, however, very lucky. My mom lives next door and takes care of the girls. So when I am finally off work, I want to shower my girls with love and adventure! On Saturday Ruby and I went whale watching with Kim and Trevor. We saw tons of dolphins, a couple of sea lions, and one whale. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The unfortunate part, you always anticipate your children to have sooo much fun, well, Ruby wanted me to hold her the entire time, then fell asleep on my lap for the last hour(her only nap of the day). Needless to say, Trevor had a blast, I enjoyed relaxing and talking to Kim. That night I had a Valentine's Party for the kids. We had over Kim, Trevor, Taylor, Ang, Brian, Brady, Aubrey, Karen, Greg, and Jade. We all had a blast! It is such a joy to watch all of our children playing and having fun. Brady and Trevor are the best together!! Taylor is so adventurous. Aubrey has the cutest personality. Jade is a doll. And Ruby and Abby are "mama's girls". I truely have the best group of family and friends! Sunday I brought the girls to Seal Beach (our usual routine) and then went to the farmer's market. Then the plan was to get the girls home for a good nap, then go to Kim's for the afternoon. Kim called to say her kids were refusing to sleep so come over early. I said "no way", my girls are exhausted and will take a nap. Well, Ruby and Abby screamed and screamed - I think they were feeding off of each other. Anthony got Abby and bounced her to sleep. Ruby continued to scream. So I got her up and put her in our bed with me so she wouldn't wake Abby. Again, needless to say, Ruby never slept, Abby slept for 40 minutes. No cooperation! We went to Kim's, I thanked her for jinxing me. They were asleep by 7:30. Another weekend I barely survived! To top it off, Anthony is sick! You know he's got to be when he didn't play his basketball game last night! I'll add pictures later. I love you all!

Yeah, one more blog to read. Your V-day party was the best... the kids had a blast and they are expecting one next year as well ;)
Yeay! Welcome to blogging, I'm with Ang, I love having another one to read... especially when we can all relate so well to each other (o:
Sounds like a great yet busy weekend! I hope Anthony feels better ( probably a little more for you than him... no offense! heheh )
This is great, & I've never blogged before. Thank you so much for putting it together, now I can keep up with what's going on back home. I love you & miss you! I can't wait for the bachelorette party! Give the girls our love:)
This is great! Now I can "see" the girls grow up and know how you are doing. All is well with the McCutcheon family (Thank God) and life is good!
You finally did it.I'm so excited that I have another one to read.
I am so excited that I will be able to read about you and your family. This is great. I look forward to reading more about what everyone is doing.
