With Brandon's Mom here I am trying to take full advantage and get some sewing projects done. Tabitha was our helper Thursday at the fabric store, she would find some fabric and carry it around and say how cute it was and she wanted to make something for Gabrielle. She was pretty good while we shopped because she knows if she behaves she gets to choose a sucker. She was also a great little helper when we got home and loved to carry the pins around her neck, they make a cute necklace!

Brandon got tired of our beta fish dying so while I was at work one night he and the girls came home with a much larger fish tank! He had one growing up and has been very excited along with the girls to have a variety of fish. The water has to be just right before you add the fish so for the last 2 weeks he has been tending to that and arranging the plants just right. We had plans to get fish much sooner than this but with Tabitha being sick we just got out on Monday night. The girls each chose a frog, we have already lost Gabrielle's, but Tabitha's bubbley elmoey is holding strong. Gabrielle chose 5 black tetra's, with two named so far, little babier and hider. Tabitha chose 5 five black neon tetra's, they are named "all kinds of names". They do have plans to add a few others but you have to introduce them over time. They love to stand and just stare at the tank and watch their fish swim all over.
Tabitha spent two nights in Primary Children's Hospital with RSV and got to come on Sunday afternoon. She was doing so much better Sunday morning and insisted on Pizza for breakfast which she gobbled right down. I took some games that Brandon and I played with her that morning, which was very nice to see since she had just layed around not wanting to do anything for a week.
I had a Valentine's Day Tea Party for the girls and their friends on Monday. Poor Tabitha was asleep during the party, but Gabrielle had a great time. I did not take many photos, so my photo for the day came from Camille, you can go to her blog to view more pictures.
This was my Sunday photo and Tabitha looked like this from Saturday afternoon through Monday. She had a really bad cough and pretty high fever. We took her to the doctor yesterday and she has pneumonia, an ear infection and her lungs were pretty tight. She has had a hard time breathing and so we have been doing her breathing treatment a few times a day and now she is on an antibiotic and steroid. We sure hope she gets better soon, it is so sad to have sick kids.

Waiting for her ride to pre-school. They learned about the letter J, with a few nursey rymes, made jack-in-the-box's and had jelly beans for a snack. 
...party at the library. The girls had fun dressing up, playing games, making crowns and listening to Miss Sally read a book. We have a great lady that does reading time at the library. Over the years we have only gone a few times because of schedules, but this year she opened up another hour and we go after ballet on wed. 
The girls were playing around in my closet and came out all dressed up. Gabrielle said they were like Mulan, "because everyone in that movie dresses the same", (another movie that saved us last week while gabrielle was sick, thanks Laura). When I went in to clean up the closet later in the day Tabitha had used her stool to get in and completely dump out my jewelry box, notice her ring and watch!
We had fun watching the superbowl with my brother scott and friends Gregg, Camille and Truman. I always love watching the commercials and this is the first year that I really watched a lot of them. We also celebrated Gregg's b-day with a cute, yummy Basketball cake that Camille made.
