Magpie, The Coloring Genius!
She is either advanced in the coloring department or completely OCD...I pray it's the first!

Mini Honeymoon
Matt and I just wrapped up a wonderful weekend spent with just eachother! Friday night, we stayed in G'ville and went to the movies. Then, Saturday (after sleeping in) we headed to Atlanta! We had a WONDERFUL time!!
We ate at Ray's on the River which was amazing...
We were entertained and laughed until we cried thanks to Brian Regan and all of his hilariousness...
We got Cheesecake Factory to go, and ate it in our pajamas in the hotel room...
It is always good to get away just the two of us. It's such a refreshing reminder of just how many great qualities my husband has, and why I am absolutely crazy about him!
*Special thanks to Mimi & Papa, and Nana & Pal for taking good care of the girls and making this weekend getaway possible!*

Date with Daddy and Doughnuts!
Since Maggie started sleeping in her big girl bed (at 22 months), she has gotten up one or two times a night. She will have a week or two that she doesn't, but more times than not, she is in our room about 3 or 4 am. Matt has always done a great job of putting her back in her bed...thankfully, we haven't gotten in the pattern of letting her get in our bed.
Recently, we have started trying a few new methods of rewards and consequences for getting out of her bed. Last week, Matt told Maggie that the first night she sleeps all the way through the night without coming in our room, he would take her to get doughnuts. Last night was the night!! This morning, Matt came for a meeting on this side of town, so he took out his sweet little date to get her reward! Let's hope this is the beginning of a new pattern!

Side Note: I would appreciate any successful "night waking tips" from any of you parents out there...I feel a little guilty for even asking that because Maggie is such a good little girl. But, who knows, we might find something that keeps her in the bed more times than not!

Not The Typical Flurries
We woke up yesterday to at least 6-7 inches of snow! It was beautiful!
Matt spent the majority of the morning trying to decide how he was going to get down to Georgia to install some graphics and plaques for some of his clients. I kept thinking that it was insane that he was even brainstorming the idea, but I tried to be supportive....not trying to make him feel guilty for having a good job. =)
After it was decided that a couple of other guys would go instead, we headed out in the snow! We only stayed for about 20 minutes, but the girls had fun. We came back in and enjoyed some hot chocolate. I really do love a good snow day!
