Valentine's Day this year was rather uneventful - Dan did his best - the kids got bathrobes/pajamas which they loved and our usual Valentine's breakfast biscuits. He got me a soda maker which looks like it will be a lot of fun. I made him his usual heart shaped cookie - I tried to make Pink cupcakes for the kids, but Eileen turned off my timer so she could use it to practice piano and they burned.... We had plans to go out for dinner on Friday - even had a babysitter planned, but we didn't want to leave a sitter with a very sick and cranky baby, so we got some take out from Outback and had a night in.
Paul and Candace were out this way for a neice's baptism and they stopped by for dinner and games and playing tonight before heading home - it was fun to see them - the kids all get along so well together and we all had fun playing. We also got to chat on Skype with Grandma and Grandpa Jones for a bit - the kids just loved talking to them and telling them all about their lives.
Eileen sang a musical number today in Sacrament meeting along with the other Activity Day girls - it was so funny to watch her - she kept taking her shoes on and off and dropping papers. At one point she lost her place, then when she got to the chorus she just gave up finding her place and started singing - despite all her goofing off - she seemed to know the song well and sang it beautifully - but it was rather amusing to watch. :)
Saturday we went to the baptism of a friend of Eileen's from church - it was fun to go and she had tons of nieces and nephews there, so the kids had a blast playing after. I was glad to go support a friend of mine (her mom) and be there to try and help out when I could.
Now on to another week and another set of adventures!
