Our Long Weekend

We sure enjoyed a very fun and exciting weekend. This was how it went.

FRIDAY
The kids thought it would be fun to exchange Valentines this year, something we haven't really done in the past. So they made invitations earlier that week and had some of their friends over to our house. They passed our the cards they made earlier that week and had fun playing. That night, we agreed to watch our neighbors' kids as part of a babysitting swap, (they watched our kids on Saturday). We fixed homemade pizza and the kids all ran around a played, again. We finally turned on "Night at the Museum" so they would just sit still for a minute and pretty soon everyone was asleep.

Saturday - Valentine's Day
Dennis went to work out in the morning and took Afton with him. They came home with a big bouquet of yellow roses for me!(One day I'll share the story that started the tradition of the yellow roses.) We had our Saturday dounuts,(Krispy Kream) that were delivered as part of a fundraiser. That afternoon Dennis and I went to the Provo temple together. (We narrowly avoided getting into an accident when a big truck ran a red light in the middle of a pretty good snowstorm. I certainly hope there was a camera on that light.) Afterwards, we sat down to eat at my favorite Chinese Restaurant and realized that we had better get it to go, due to it being Saturday night and we have early morning church. We picked up the kids did a last minute pick up of the house, showers and actually got them to bed pretty early. Dennis and I made chocolate dipped strawberries and enjoyed eating them with our Turtle Pie and drank Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice in our only two fancy smancy glasses! We snuggled on the couch and watched "If a Man Answers" which was so funny! It's an oldie but goodie that we borrowed from the Wallace's.


SUNDAY
We had most of my family come to our house for a little get together and dinner. We pulled out the Harry Potter Clue game, chatted, played air hockey, and just had fun together. (It sure is nice having the additional space in the basement!!)

MONDAY
Because of President's day Dennis didn't have to go to work, so he stayed home and grouted the bathroom shower! Afton went to a birthday party, the boys played with friends and I pulled out some more boxes from the garage and put them away, and actually vegged on the couch a bit.

Wow!!! It was so much fun to play all weekend long, but I've got to tell you that on Tuesday it was pretty hard to get going again!!
