Wishing all of you a wonderful day filled with
LOVE!
My kids were so excited for their class Valentine's party this week. They had all of their valentines sorted out by Monday or Tuesday. They spread out in my bedroom and got their lists together. They folded/punched out the notes, wrote the names on, put a little candy inside, etc. I love independent kids!!!
Austin wrote all the names on his valentines and I noticed some funny scribbling on one of them. I held it up and noticed that this particular note, addressed to Eliza, had the word "valentine" scratched out and "friend" was hand-written instead. Hmmm, looks like someone might have a little girly friend or crush??? Ah, to be in 3rd grade...
I loved seeing Olivia's cute writing on the notes. She is such a natural organizer. She likes to line things up, make a list, check each name off, etc. A girl after my own heart!
Ashley only has about 10 kids in her preschool class, but she was just as excited to write their names on the valentines. She asked me over and over and over again, "Whose name is this, Mom?" holding up each and every valentine about 10 times. She chose to add Kit Kats to her Hannah Montana valentines and I found the candy wrappers ALL over the house this week, in typical Ashley style (under her bed, behind the couch, in her drawers). She only used 1/3 of the candy bag for her classmates, so she wanted to be sure we didn't waste the rest of the chocolates! Isn't she so sweet?!
This morning I was awoken for a delivery of breakfast in bed. It was great! I love this tradition. Olivia and Dad worked hard in the kitchen. Mine was a breakfast wrap, yogurt and blueberries, and potatoes on the side. The others had French Toast or scrambled eggs.
After breakfast the kids all opened a little gift from us
Ashley's was a Princess diary that she can write in, scribble and otherwise fill to her heart's content. She loved the fact that Belle was right on front since her 4th bday party this week has a Belle theme.
Olivia got some shoes she has had her eye on at Target...
and Austin finally got the last Percy Jackson book. He's been dying for it and it's been taking all my patience to save it for Valentine's!!
Last night Jared and I got out for a little date. We were very rushed, so our dinner ended up being a quick Quizno's trip for sandwiches at a total of $7.45 for the two of us. What a bargain date! Not exactly what I'd had in mind... but at least we got out... We'd barely finished chewing before we had to rush over to the theater to see what else? Valentine's Day! It was very enjoyable, I liked it a lot.
Hope you all had a great day!

It looks like you had a great Valentines! Who wouldn't with breakfast in bed?!
I had to smile at Olivia making the peace sign in her photo Lily does that all the time :)
Glad you liked the movie Jared should get a gold star for going...Cord refused. I'll be sure to tell him that Jared is the better husband. :)
Sounds like an awesome day! Harrison read this post with me and he is drooling over Austin's new book. :)
(And the thing about crossing out the 'valentine' and putting 'friend'-- hilarious!!! Can you start to imagine all the girls starting to call????? )
Thanks Robyn for a wonderful date! FYI we have the cutest kids ever.
Love ya
You really do have the cutest kids ever! :)
Sounds like a great day! I love the breakfast in bed! That is a tradition I would love.
Heidi, for Cord's benefit, I have to confess here that I purchased the tickets without even talking to Jared about it (didn't give him a chance to refuse!). I decided this is definitely the way to go in the future! I was not going to Transporter 4 or Fast and the Furious 5 on Valentine's Day!
