Today was wonderful

Paul and I had today off together and it was exactly what we needed.  We woke up around 6:30 (he loves that I work day shift now and my sleep schedule isn't all messed up).  We got out of bed by 7am and headed to our favorite coffee shop as a fun treat.  My mom had given us some coffee money as a valentines gift and it was so fun to have a day off together to be able to enjoy a quick date!

I have still been watercoloring and trying out my hand at animals.  I have a few fun books all written by the same lady that teaches you how to draw simple things to watercolor.

Kittens got out into the garage one night and left paw prints all over the car...

I was sitting reading a photography book on Sunday (before taking my dear friends engagement pictures) and realized that everything was a gift from Gabe. The cardigan, the dress, the blanket, and the book.  All separate presents all things I love. She knows me so well. 

The crazy butter filled frosting!  Amber did an awesome job on the cake (though she was way to critical on herself about the frosting and everything), it was yummy.

So we all know my kitties are super naughty.  Well a while ago Eric peed on the couch while I had the cushions off to vacuum. I cleaned it and we seemed to have no more issues.  The other night I smelled cat pee again and I think Eric got underneath the cushions and peed again. And then I think he peed on the cushions before I had a chance to clean up the other mess (they like to pee where they can smell their pee).  Sooooo I looked up a recipe to clean pee up on the internet and it seems to have worked a miracle.  I have sat on the one good cushion of the couch a ton today to make sure Eric stayed away.  He seems to know he did something wrong and has been staying away from the couch.  I have to wait a little while longer for the cushions to dry but I pray this took the smell enough away (I can't smell it at all anymore but cats smell so much better) that Eric doesn't pee on it again. 

I made another banner with my silhouette.  I absoutley love making seasonal banners that I would have never spent the money on before when my only options were buying them on etsy or the store.

My mom is going through all my grandparents photo albums and oh my goodness are there some unattractive pictures of me!  I laugh as I see them though. I was one chubby baby!  And my mom can't believe she let me chew on a desitin tube. Haha, I am sure my kids will do the same. 

And that is all my dears.  I am off tomorrow as well and am cherishing these few days off before I have to work my four day stretch again.  I have been sooooooo tired lately but am unable to sleep in because of my internal alarm clock.  My tiredness is nothing compared to Becca's I am sure but oh my I hope I get some sleep tonight!
