baking Valentine cookies while big brother & sister were in school
eating Chinese food and watching a Lion Dance at our neighbor's restaurant
All 5 of roommates received a photo book from me for their Valentine's Day present. They love their books! After looking at her book about our trip to California last summer, K has decided to switch her dreams of living in Florida to living in San Diego.
This little one had her first cookie booth the day before Valentine's Day and couldn't have been happier. She not only met her goal of selling 175 total boxes of cookies, but ended up selling 421!
She also got to tap a maple tree at one of her GS meetings. Now that was pretty neat.
One of my good friends from high school came out to visit and stayed with her bestie south of Denver. It was so fun to have hubby take a day off work to care for the children while I hung out with friends and ran errands on the way home.
We had some gorgeous weather that let us really enjoy our walk home from school.
And we had some illness too. Husband was sick with strep throat and I was late to church so settled the children in the Relief Society room to listen to Sacrament meeting. Turns out the kids love it in there.
Hubby also missed the good bye party for our neighbors who moved back to India. We miss them dearly but it was such a great opportunity for them that we can't help but be happy for them. The card Ekta wrote me before she left brought me to tears because it was so kind and simply full of love.
Twinners! M took swimming lessons at the rec center again in February. She is a great little fish but decided she really doesn't like swimming two times a week when it's chilly outside. We are going to wait until summer time for more of that. One day we packed a lunch to eat in the car and visited the museum when we were done and then took M straight to kindergarten. It was fun to do something we hadn't done for a long time but used to do often. I am so glad M is in half day kindergarten instead of full day. This gives me one more year to squeeze in fun like this before she is legally required to be in school from 9-3:30 like K & D are.
This year's Chinese New Year program at the local high school was great once again and this time we were carted from the bike racks to the front door in style. M & N were so happy to fly kites when we got home!
This year I got to help decorate for the annual adults stake activity. I am amazed by all the work our stake activities committee puts into these things. In order to up attendance, the Valentine's dance was changed to a late February luau and the numbers skyrocketed! While we waited in line for the potluck I overheard people relating the place to Disneyland. lol.
