Day 58 - Sunday, February 27, 2011 - I made the boys put the DSi's away. So they cuddled together on the snuggler and read a Pokemon book. Please not the ace bandage on Owen's foot that he insisted I put on him because his heel hurt and he couldn't walk. Well, he couldn't walk UNTIL I put the ace bandage on, then he ran around the house like a banshee. Kind of like putting a band aid on a boo boo that isn't bleeding.

Day 49 - Friday, February 18, 2011 - I love the way our movie room came together. Notice the things that I think are important (the decor - round placemats hanging on the wall, napkins stretched over canvases on another wall, fun throw pillows). Now, if Kevin were to take a picture of this room it would be of the Samsung 60 inch 3D TV hanging on the wall. Different priorities.

He had his picture taken with Rodney Stuckey and got a signed mini basketball from him, in addition to other goodies. A night to remember!
