festivities

A little Valentine's Day report:

- I am doing Grant's playschool this week, so the day began with a small crowd of kids, songs, stories, heart monsters and carrot sticks.

- We enjoyed a viewing of the highly anticipated premiere of Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney Jr. It is a big deal around here.

-We joined about 50 friends from church at the park for a party. The kids crafted paper bags, exchanged cards and candies, ate heart-shaped sandwiches, decorated cupcakes and played in the sun.

- The kids and I enjoyed a quiet (comparably silent) afternoon playing with Eden and recouping from the crazy fun of the first half of the day.

- We watched Gaslight while folding loads of laundry and playing "the cup game"(the kids current favorite pastime of building things out of dozens of dixie cups and knocking them over). And, by the way, Ingrid Bergman's dresses in that movie! I could die!

- I kissed dimples and squeezed our squishy baby all day long.

- Cori gave his sweetheart a night off and took us all out to dinner. He also came home bearing books for each of the kids and flowers for yours truly. Sweet man.

- Once the kids were in bed, it took all of 3 minutes for them to zonk out.

- Cori then donned his "The Love Guy" t-shirt...


Gracie has a week off of school. I'm so excited. We are taking advantage of some sack lunches and our Zoo pass today. Happy Tuesday!
