Dear Family and Friends,
It’s been a great week.
Valentine’s and a birthday ensured that it would be. Monday was a normal day. Groceries, FHE, etc….
Tuesday was Valentine’s Day.
Since B-man has to be up so early, I didn’t do anything special for
breakfast. There just isn’t enough time. But pretty much the rest of the day I spent
working treats for the day. Here’s what I
made; bread (nothing romantic about that, but we were out), red jello with
strawberries, and chocolate covered strawberries. Actually now that I wrote it out, it doesn’t
seem like much, but it felt like a lot… It was actually a lot of fun and J loved
helping. B-man was thrilled that he didn’t
have any homework after school. The
weather was also nice enough for him to play outside for a little. That night for dinner we had pink pancakes,
jello, and then our strawberries for dessert.
B-man and I ran off fast after dinner to get him to basketball practice.

Wednesday was a busy day.
I ran to the grocery store, ran home to put away the frozen stuff, and
then ran to get B-man from school and to the dentist. Of course all these things were on separate ends
of town. The dentist we have is so great
and only for kids. His office is decked
out with toys, games, and videos for the kids to play with. It made having two kids there waiting a lot
easier. We ended up staying longer
because the doctor wanted to put in sealants on hid molars and I told him to
just do it so I wouldn’t have to come back again. Sadly our dental plan doesn’t cover them, but
they are less than paying for a filling so we did it. After a clean report we got B-man lunch and
then dropped him off as school. I then
fed the little boys and let them finally sleep.
That night M had mutual.

Thursday we didn’t do too much. It was a much slower day; in a busy fun week
it’s nice to have a quiet day. Friday
was my birthday. It was a great day, I
slept in guilt free until a little after 7.
(Never in my teenage life would I have ever imagined that to be sleeping
in…) Then the rest of the day I got to
spend with my favorite people. M had the
day off so he was home all day. He made
a load of bacon and juice to compliment our traditional cold cereal Friday
breakfast. We ran errands and when we were coming home we
just happened to run into a friend. She
was dropping off a treat for me and when she saw that M was home she insisted
on watching the little boys so we could go to lunch. She is really so kind and I need to remember
to do these types of things for other people.
We went to lunch and had a free sandwich from a shop nearby that we
liked. It didn’t take long, but it was
great to have no little boys to wrangle with while we were eating. When B-man got home we had a pretty quiet
hour or so and then we left to go to dinner.
We wanted to eat early and also return a few things on our way. (Stores that I don’t get to as often.) It’s a long story, but all of my return
errands failed and I couldn’t return anything.
It was pretty frustrating. One
return was in the mall, and while I was trying to return stuff M let the boys
play on a little play set inside. They
were having a great time running around with all the other kids. We then tried our best to clean their hands with
wipes and headed to Red Robin for dinner.
When we arrived it was empty and we were happy that we decided to eat
early. The boys loved their dinner, and
although it was crazy, I don’t think we disturbed the guests around us. J especially loved having his own drink
cup. He downed his first cup of apple
juice super fast. It was amazing. They all ate great dinners, and got our check
as fast as possible before things really started to deteriorate. Once home we bathed the boys and then got
them in bed. That night M and I watched
some shows on Hulu, and took breaks to chat with people that called. It was a great day. (My sister even hijacked my blog!)

Today has been another fantastic day. M had no meetings, and we had a great
morning. Church went pretty well
(despite the senior primary having a serious bout of the wiggles). We had our home teachers over in the afternoon,
and then had some friend’s over for dinner.
We are anxious to get back into the habit of having people over. We have a long list of people that we need to
invite. This family happened to have
several children that match up with ours, and B-man loved having them
over. It was an easy night. Now the kids are in bed and we are enjoying
the peace and quiet. We love our kids,
but we also love their bedtimes…
Love,
The C Crew
