Valentine's Day.
Okay.
So,
Sometimes,
When I have a 3rd Grade Boy
who could really care less about
making a Valentines Box,
then I tend to care less, too.
We were on the same page.
And Basically,
We created a box that at the very least got
HIS Love and Affection-
the Kansas City Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium.
With Favorite KC Chief Players
Lovingly Adorning the Sides.
[Insert OOoooos, and Aaaahhhs]
He was the only One of my Boys who needed a Vday Box this year.
Hoo-Ray.
(And? Obviously, I Rocked It, No?)

Also, on Valentines Day,
I Got to go to Preschool with Youngest Child,
Where, I was the Substitute for the Day!
Everything was already planned by his well organized teacher,
so I carried out the Vday Games, Stories,
Card Exchange, and Cookie Decorating!
It was Rather Fun!

And Since Sometimes,
I Stink at getting Pictures,
I have no more Pics of the Day,
but wished I would have gotten pictures of
Me and My Handsome Date,
going out to eat at one of My Favorite Places,
Going to see the Movie
"Safe Haven",
and coming home and finding
that the Boys were in Co-hoots with Dad,
and had been busy making Hearts
and putting them up everywhere.
And while I waited in the car,
they lit candles,
spread out blankets and
pulled out My Favorite VDay Desserts.
That We all sat and ate
in the Candlelight.
Together.

Basketball Season

We spent many Saturdays
from December through February
watching this Guy
Hoop it Up
at his
Basketball Games.
And?
His Parents were Tons more Nervous
about everytime He got that ball,
than He was.
I'm Certain
He Loved Every Moment.

Family Date Night

We started out a Friday Evening
with a Trip to a
Card Shop.
A couple of the Boys have really gotten into
Collecting and Trading Cards
at Home,
and at School.
They have tons of
Football, Basketball, and Baseball Cards,
but we found this little Shop,
and thought it would be fun
to take them to get their Card Fix.
While they searched for their Favorite Teams and Players,
Their Older Brother waited patiently,
and Him and I searched the whole Shop over
to find the Most Expensive Card.
 
 
After Purchasing some Very Special Cards,
We went to a little Ma and Pop Diner,
and Scarffed Down
Veggie Burgers, Pancakes, Waffle Fries,
and a Banana Spilt.

Happy Birthday!

And How did the Big Birthday Boy
Choose to Spend his Birthday?
He wanted nothing more,
than to
Play Games,Order Pizza and Watch a Movie
 with the Family Piled all Over Him.

Jolly Ol' Saint Nick

Christmas Service Advent Calendar Part II

I mentioned about how Our Family was doing
and Trying to do a Service Everyday Before Christmas.
 
Wanted to Take Note of a Couple of things We did,
that Meant a Lot to Our Family:
 
We helped make 85 Fleece Blankets,
to Donate to Cancer Patients,
at a Local Cancer Hospital,
 
We Volunteered to Spend a late night Cleaning
our Church Building.
We arrived Several Hours Early,
and Cleaned and Set up Chairs,
till We thought We would Drop Dead.
We left a Merry Christmas note,
so when the other Volunteers arrived
at the appointed time,
They would be Surprised!
We got a Sweet Note the next Day
from some Very Thankful Friends,
Who didn't have to stay up all Night
Cleaning and Setting up Chairs!
 
One Night,
We went to a local Senior Center.
We had made Snowflakes and Notes
and wanted to find someone
who needed a Visit, some Snowflakes, and some Christmas Cheer!
We Ended up Going into the Room of a Woman named Barbara.
We decorated her Room with Snowflakes,
and Spent a While Talking with Her.
We Really Enjoyed Getting to know Her,
and Went back on Christmas Day,
with a Gift We thought She would Enjoy.
She was Excited to see Us,
and had Kept our Notes close-by,
and had told Everybody about her Snowflakes!
 
By the end of the Month,
it was a real Eye-Opener to see what a Difference
Small, Do-able things made,
and meant to People.
The Notes and Thanks We received
were Un-expected, yet so Touching to Us.
It made Us more aware of the Little things We can do,
to Brighten someone Else's Day.
