Valentine's Day..It's all about love

We had a great week leading up to Valentine's Day. Kate had her first official field trip on Thursday to an assisted living home in The Woodlands to bring Valentine's cards and goodies to grandmas and grandpas. She loved the experience and loved riding on the bus...she just couldn't stop talking about the bus and who she sat by. Very sweet. On Friday, she and Wesley had their class Valentine's parties and she was all decked out in her Valentine's best and since Wesley didn't have a Valentine's shirt, she made him one. I painted the words and she put the finishing touches on it with all kinds of Thomas the train stickers and heart stickers. In the end, everyone at school knew that Wesley was Kate's Little Valentine. Man I love them so much!!

On Friday night, Justin and I got to go out to dinner..everyone knows that going out to dinner is my favorite thing...no cooking or cleaning-you can't beat that! So we had some great Outback steaks and dessert. We got to have an entire conversation without being interrupted. Made me realize how much I love Justin and how grateful I am for 13 Valentine's together and as much as we enjoyed being able to eat an entire meal without interruptions or little mouths poised to be spoon fed, we agreed that we missed them so much and headed back home. But not before we got them some little heart balloons to wake up to on Valentine's morning! Don't ask what happened to one of the balloons when Justin accidentally started the ceiling fan on Sunday morning and forgot about it....let's just say he had to get his ladder out and do some surgery on the fan blades (oops!)

On Saturday night we got to see Robbie and Marianne (Mary Grace and Cade), Charlie and Stacy (Elizabeth and Julia), Danny and Leah (Erin and Anna), and Wayne and Brandy (Jack--Boston Terrier) at Wayne and Brandy's new house. Gorgeous house....we are so happy for them. Their new house has an amazing hot tub which the girls thought was a blast. They had such a great time with their dads. So its been a weekend of much fun with all the people we love being with! We are looking forward to a great week ahead.
