A Park Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!!  I got sweets from my Sweetheart and the kids are well so I'm a happy camper.  Bummer that Dave had work today but we'll continue celebrating tonight. 

Took the kids to the park this afternoon.  It was a bit nippy but that didn't bother the kids.  They had a blast!  Afterwards, the kids picked out a couple of Redbox movies to watch tonight.  At home they enjoyed some soup-rice as they call it (today it was beef/vege broth).  A nice, cozy Valentine day with the fam.  Life is great!

They're sproutin' up aren't they?

Rainbows, Apples, and Cookies

Still slow in updating here, sorry. Well, we're doing well. Mondays this year though have been busy. Dave and I enjoy our weekly Monday date night ..or more like date day. We usually go out to see a movie, dine out for lunch, or both. Then in the evening while Dave is at work, the kids and I have Family Home Evening (spiritual evening.. prayer, lesson, activity). In due time, Dave will join us as well. :)

The weather was shady today. Looked like it would rain cats and dogs but ended up a drizzle here and there. The kids saw a rainbow and came to get me. They were so jazzed and S&S couldn't help but play in the rain (drizzle). Then, later the kids and I worked on their Valentine cards for their classmates. I also put together a small treat for their teachers inpired by a Pinterest.com "pin" (is that the term?). Man, I can browse Pinterest all day! I'm not ready to join yet. I'll never see my kids if I do! ;)
