Happy President's Day

So I hope that everyone enjoyed their day off this week. I know that the boys did. We had a lot to get done, but it was fun and we had a great day.
We headed to Chick-fil-A for breakfast, and it was very good! Then to K-Mart to return some Christmas gifts. They have just been sitting here and I am trying to clean up and out. It will make it much easier when we move if we do it now. Then we headed to Learning Express. I got a few Christmas gifts for kids at 50% off which makes me happy. The boys got some cool stuff and Danny got John Michael a birthday present. He is such a sweet baby. Then to Target, this time to take back extras from Valentine's. When we got the things to do the goodie bags, we might have gone a little overboard. It is all good though. While we were there I got invitations fr John Michael's party and he got a pinata. I also got goodie bags, I just hope that I can find the time to turn them into legos. We shall see. Then we headed to Books A Million. I needed the next Alex Cross book. I just started reading the series so I am way behind. Danny also had a gift card that he wanted to use. Subway was lunch and it was so good! Then to Staples for a return and then to WalMart. We had a few returns and ended up getting a few more things for John Michael's birthday party. It was a super busy day, but so much fun to spend the day with the boys.

Getting Ready for Valentine's Day

The boys' are so excited about their Valentine's Day parties at school tomorrow. We had to go to Target to get what they needed. We were so behind. Oh well, it was a fun trip with my boys and they had the best time getting the things to make Valentine's for their classmates.

The got Candy, tattoos, and all sorts of random things to add to their Valentine's fun. John Michael got his teacher some gorgeous flowers. He also got the other Kindergarten teacher a small box of chocolates. Danny got his teacher a box of chocolates and his religion teacher a chocolate rose.

When we got home the boys had a blast making their Valentine's bags for their friends. We all had a good time, and it was a great night.

Snow and Valentine's Preparations

John Michael's Valentine's party is tomorrow so we finally went to Target and got some Valentine's and the bag of candy that I was supposed to bring the other day. Better late than never....and it is not really late, just really cutting it close. Well, we went on and got Danny's and then I got a few things that I needed to get I was out of Ziploc bags...craziness.

Well, we had a visit from our favorite Aunt B today. The boys adore her and so do Brandon and I. It is always great to spend some time with her.

School's are already delayed 2 hours tomorrow morning because of the snow threat that is now here. The snow is so pretty though, I almost forgot how pretty it was since we have pretty much only seen ice this winter. We plan on getting up in the morning like a regular day so we can have a little bit of time in the morning before school to play. As pretty as it is a day at home would really not hurt my feelings, I like to play in the snow...and take pictures ;) with my men. I am hoping that Brandon is at least delayed too that we we can have some family fun before the day starts.

Today on Monica vs. The House John Michael's room was the headline. Monica won! Closet cleaned out, drawers cleaned out, under the bed cleaned out. I have three bags and two boxes of clothes to get rid of and added to the special clothes that I have from the boys. One day I will make a quilt or something from it so that they are actually used. We shall see I know how to use my sewing machine now but quilting is a whole different monster. I will definitely try will just regular material before I take the scissors to the clothes, blankets, and bibs that I am just too attached to. There will be no episode tomorrow if there is school since I will be there taking pictures at the Valentine's party.

Well, it is after 10, so not before 9. I am going to keep trying though! Before I go to bed tonight I will as always pray for all of my family and friends. I have a special intention that I would love prayers from you all for. Thanks in advance.
