Valentine's Day

• We had our traditional Valentine's breakfast.  The kids started asking about it right after Christmas.  A couple of weeks ago Halle got upset when she realized she would miss it because of school.  I promised she wouldn't (planned on doing it at supper.)
• School was canceled for the Principal's funeral.  (Sad story.  Happy Heaven.)
• Preschool time was spent painting to find secret messages (thank you, Pinterest.)
• Lunch was extra-lovey.  :)
• An afternoon outside was WONDERFUL. 
• (not pictured)  JD and I went on a date without any kids for the first time in 6 months.  It was the first Valentine's he's been home for in 3 years!

The girls' Valentines for church: 

 (Halle's for school look like Cate's ^.  Not sure why I didn't get a picture of them.)

 

 

 

** Thank you to everyone who send cards and gifts!  We love you all!! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

(Eventually, Isaac had had enough:)

 

Ty begged for a turn to hold Isaac and he wanted a picture of it.  I was pretty nervous, but I did get one- Ty was so proud!  :)

 



Today the girls threw a party:

Sunny Day

 

Preschool lately-

Lots of color/car matching:

The only color he still struggles to get right every time is blue.  Black, brown, grey- no problem.  Just blue.  Weird.

 

 

This girl has a new hobby- she dictates a story to me and then copies it in her notebook.  TWELVE FULL PAGES so far.  Again- weird.  But whatever.  Her handwriting is improving!  :)

 Computer time!  (Hands-down favorite preschool days.) 

Cate does starfall.com stuff

 

 

Playing 'School' after school:

When cars and princesses have a parade:

They need candy, of course. 

 

A very rare and unexpected treat in this house!

Notice the line of spectator cars in the back:

They didn't get any candy.  :)

"Cheese!!":

 Isaac slept through the fun in his car seat:

"Cate, let's do a train!"

 "AGAIN!"
