Valentine's Day

The kids still dont fully understand Valentine's Day, I think they know they get stuff but that is about it! Lisa got them balloons on Friday along with the beautiful flowers Ethan & Paigey gave me. I made Valentine's cookies for the kids with little hearts and everything. They seemed to enjoy the cookies.... Me and Joel decided to go out on Friday night instead of Saturday due to beating the crowds but it was still very crowded on Friday night as well. We had a nice dinner an went out for ice cream afterwards. Saturday he made me breakfast and let me sleep in (that is so nice it doesnt happen very often) then we had to get the kids ready for my moms of multiples Valentine's Party at the park. It was a little cool but I thought they would still have fun. An burn some much needed energy! I had called Pawpaw (my dad) to see if he would like to join us an of course he couldnt resist. So the kids were excited to see him as well. The ran, climbed, slid, jumped everything. They had a pond with ducks on it they were very interested in that. It was hard to keep them away from it. We will defintly have to go back an feed the ducks one day. They played for about 2 hrs or so an started to get hungry so we decided to go get something to eat and stop by Grandma's house (Joel's grandmother). They were to busy playing there they didnt want to eat! So by then we were way past nap and decided to head home so they could take a nap. So we had a wonderful nice Valentine's day. I am so thankful for my kids, my husband an my family an friends an this day made me realize to treasure the time I have with them. Our family defintly misses the ones that have left us but we do know that they are in a better place and we will always remember them no matter how old we are.
