Valentines Day

We love Valentines day around here, so much fun going on!

   

 The girls looked so cute in their red and pink hearts

 Isaac and I made cookies for our YW activity

 I chaparoned Luke's Valentine's dance.  

 I wanted a picture, and he barely let me take one quick one.

 Tuesday nights are usually terrible for us.   Carly has piano at 3:45-4:45, The girls have activty days from 5-6, Luke has scouts from 6-8, and I have YW's at 6:30.  Ben usually gets home around 7.  So, I usually burn dinner on Tuesdays.  I keep trying to not let it happen, but it always does when I'm running kids around.  I always want them to finish eating before I leave so they don't choke during the half hour before Ben gets home.  My parent's always bring the kids mini papa murphy pizzas for Valentines.  I felt especially terrible when I burnt their dinner.  Hailey and Ike were so upset, the older three put on their best faces and said they didn't care and I was the best mom anyways.  They helped me keep it together, and since I had to leave while they were still eating, I was extra grateful that no one choked.

Since YW was on Valentine's day, we offered free babysitting to the couples in our ward.  The YW made fun games and activities for the kids, and they also decorated sugar cookies.  I sent this picture to my friend, Sarah, because her little girl, Sawyer, was so sad when she dropped her off. Sawyer was my little buddy that night and followed my around.  The activity ended up being more fun than I thought it would be.
