Ten for the Week

1. Frank and Savannah surprised me at work on Friday and took me out to lunch. Savannah is potty training and went in a public restaurants bathroom for the very first time. She is getting closer and closer everday to being potty trained. I recently purchased her some new underwear and pullups at night to help her make the transition.

2. Savannah has started to climb into the crib and is getting closer to transitioning into a toddler bed. I told her when she turns 3 years old I will buy her a new Dora bed. She was totally excited! I recently purchased her party favors for her birthday in about 6 weeks. She is really looking forward to her birthday. I'm going to have it outside in a Gazebo near our house and let the kids play in the park. I will transition the party to the house if the weather doesn't cooperate.

3. Friday night I went scrapbooking with some friends from work. I had to replenish my stock pile and had so much fun doing scrapbooking. I have to make up some lost ground from years 2010-11. I didn't have much time with cancer treatments and raising my daughter, etc... I printed off about a year of photos and still need to work on Christmas/New Years.

4. I'm looking forward to Easter and can't wait to have a Easter Egg Hunt in my yard this year. I have already started purchasing candy and little gifts for Savannah. We will going to a Easter Egg hunt at the park district in a couple of weeks.

5. Frankie had a job interview on Friday night and hopes to get his first job with Ooz Fruz (frozen yogurt shop). It is right down the street and is within walking distance. A couple of months ago Savannah painted Frankie's room with nail polish. We are having to re-paint his room now. He really wanted to paint his room school colors. We are leaving the top half white and than painting the bottom half purple.

6. Today we are heading over for a family party to celebrate all the March birthdays. I'm turning 36 this week and am looking forward to visiting with family. We are having corn beef for dinner in celebration of St Patrick's day. The kids are at their mother's house this wekend and will not be coming today. We are leaving church a little bit early today. Frank made me open up my birthday present early since he was so excited to give it to me. He purchased me a Samsung Galaxy S tablet. I was totally excited about my new gift!

7. On Tuesday I have plans to go back to the dentist to have my perm crown placed on my tooth and than heading down to Chicago for lunch. My best friend and I are taking the kids downtown and will get to have a little fun witht the kids. Frank is taking me out to dinner for my birthday. I can't wait for spring!!! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous all week and warm.

8. Next week Frank and I are taking a trip down to Atlanta for a retreat. The wives get a spa day while the men to go work and attend meetings, etc...We are staying on a ranch and will be able to go fishing, canoeing and go horseback riding. I will be taking Savannah with us and the kids will start spring break the following week. We will be leaving Frankie here with supervisor and than Frankie and Sarah will be staying with Grandpa Schoen over the weekend.

9. Frank is all moved into his new office and will continue to work on the buildout on his own. The office looks amazing and I will forward pictures when it is all completed.
