Sharin' the Love

For the last couple of days the Stannix's have been a little bit grumpy. Poor Mr. Stannix has three mid-terms in a row next week and I've been chasing our crazy kid around, cleaning, packing and keeping the house in order. Yesterday night I decided it was time to cook up some love in the Stannix home. Camilla and I made and decorated heart-shaped cookies for Valentines Day while Daddy was at his meeting. We had a lot of fun (and Camilla ate a lot of cookies).

Before they were even cooled her little mitts were all over the sugary yummy-ness. She scarfed down two whole cookies right off the bat! I smiled as I heard "mmm" and "num!" between crunches. What a nutt!

I finally finished decorating them all after she went to bed.  I got out the Valentine treats to get ready for the big day next week. I love celebrating holidays. Mr. Stannix stopped by Wal-Mart on his way home to pick up the final season of "Lost". He was so sweet to think of me while he was there and brought me home a heart shaped container full of sweets as an early Valentines present. We kissed and made up from our grumpy day and then tidied the house together. We then turned the lights down and plugged in the first disc of season six! We munched out on chips and salsa as well as our treats. It was a great night! 

In other news, I'm pretty much thinking of banning crayons in my house. The other day, Camilla scribbled with orange all over the back of our bedroom door, and yesterday our kitchen floor was a rainbow of orange and blue. Crazy kid. Thank goodness for Magic Erasers. With the move coming up, I've been trying to get on top of packing and cleaning. I scrubbed the oven for an hour yesterday and it is now sparkly clean. I debated taking a picture because I was that impressed with it! I also packed the rest of our books up yesterday. Our poor living room looks so empty without the books on the shelf. Camilla is in heaven with all the boxes we have kicking around. 

She played in this one for hours yesterday evening (when she wasn't chowing down on cookies). She's so grown up now! At night, we've made more progress with her little bed. Mr. Stannix was so smart and thought she was afraid of the dark a little, so when we put her to sleep now, the door is cracked a lot wider than we used to. She now stays in her bed! I tuck her in, and she'll reach up her little arms for a "hut" and wrap them tight around my neck. Then she'll pucker up her little lips for a smooch, and wave buh-bye as we leave. It's so nice that she's happy and content when she goes to bed now. Anyways, I'm off to make some waffles for me and the Mr.
Happy Friday!
