Valentine's Day, bowling and other random thoughts...

Well, we have finally thawed out and started to smell spring in the air this week.
That makes me so giddy...I love spring (except the tornadoes that come with it)!

We are trying catch up with school after being off a few days from the snow. Usually I try to do school during snow days, but this time I decided to lighten up and allow the children to enjoy God's gift to them. Even though they didn't stay outside very long, I knew that this opportunity would be fleeting and I wanted them to enjoy what moments they have=).

 For Valentine's Day, Dale and I usually spend the day with the children. This year we have a marriage conference followed by a banquet to attend to celebrate a little later, so Monday night was about speading some love to our children.

I always get new pjs for them and little gifts.

I want to swipe this caterpillar from my six-year-old.

 The Very Hungry Caterpillar is my (and his) favorite book!

And with the theme of enjoying my children, every day the boys try to pull me in their room to admire their newest Lego scene. Usually it is the middle of me trying to get dinner on the table=). This week I seized the opportunity and even took pictures of all their scenes.
They were beaming...

 

And finally we were able to enjoy some bowling time with our cousins.
I wanted to bowl so bad, but Dale nixed that because of my swollen belly=).

 

Hope you are finally thawing out this week.

Do you smell spring in the air?
