Valentine's Day

Paul and I went out to dinner Saturday evening at our church. Every year the youth group always does a Valentine's dinner and this is the first year that we've ever attended and Lauren and Kristin's first time helping serve. They really did a great job! The room was lit by candlelight and soft music was playing in the background. All the youth helping wore black pants and a white top, they all looked very nice and professional. Kristin brought some of the food to eat at home, none of the youth could eat until it was over so they got to choose from all the leftovers, she choose fettuccine alfredo.
The next day, Valentine's Day, I gave each of the kids a box of chocolate. Each one was different, Zach's was a crab with big googly eyes, Kristin's had a puppy on the front plus she got this...

...a boyfriend! I gave Lauren the same Grow A Boyfriend with a Twilight box of chocolates.

I found the neatest box for Megan, it has a chalkboard on the front.

So now we have enough candy to last till the Easter Bunny comes!

Did they really go to school today?

Yes! They FINALLY went to school even though it had snowed overnight and had started snowing again this morning. Only a coating though so it wasn't too bad. I'll take a coating any day over what we've been getting. At preschool Zach's and my class were finally able to have our Valentine's Day parties. We both brought home so much more candy. Zach got this heart shaped lollipop from one of the other teachers that he visits after school.

There's a room that connects ours and once school is out Zach will wander the halls and loop around through that room then pop back in mine. The teacher in that room is so nice and just thinks he's so funny and cute. She's the one that gave him the lollipop.

Megan finally makes a wish...

...by blowing out her birthday candles. Since she didn't feel well on her actual birthday we postponed the cake till the next night. So I of course had to include that here.

Which now ends her birthday for this year. Hopefully next year's is better!
