Monday. Our anniversary

7:03 AM

Today is Me and Eddie's anniversary. 12 years!

Saturday we went to the grocery store and Eddie bought some corn beef hash. He's never eaten that before. I was a little scared. It wasn't that bad actually. Vallerie seemed to like it too.

Vallerie had a purple bath with bubbles. I don't think she realized it was any different than her normal baths, but it was pretty.

I made some cookies. They were sugar cookies, and I used the gnome cookie cutter my sister got for me. They turned out pretty good. I ended up buying the premade dough and just flattening it out. Here's a picture:

I had some left over dough, so I made a few mushrooms. The hats and mushroom tops were colored with red food coloring and egg yolk (put on before baking) The beards and mushroom spots are vanilla icing. 

Eddie and I watched "Your Highness" It was kinda funny. My stomach was a little upset, so I was kind of more concerned with that than the movie.

Sunday was kind of a lazy day. I did the dishes and we had awesome hot ham and cheese for dinner. I did quite a bit of napping.

I could not sleep last night. I tried and tried. I think I finally dozed out at around 3am. Little Vallerie thought she would be cool and wake up at 4:30... Luckily it was a temporary thing. I got up around 6:30 when Vallerie decided to wake up for good. I'm actually less tired than I thought I would be.

Eddie and I don't have plans today for our anniversary. I think his little sister is going to take Vallerie next weekend. We haven't decided if it will be for a day or a day and a night. I'm not even sure if we could handle not being with her that long.

My sister is coming to town this weekend for a wedding. I think we are going to go to lunch. My aunt leaves for Budapest the same day my sister is here. We're going to try and see if we can get our gpa to go to lunch with us.

Vallerie drew (scribbled) her first picture today. We gave her a few highlighters and she had a good time coloring. When we tried to take the highlighters away she would swing her arms back and fourth and screech. It was pretty cute. I have it hanging on the wall. I'll put it in her baby book later.

Got my book in the mail today. It's the final book in the Flowers in the Attic series. It tells the tale of the mom from the first book. Should be good.
