Happy Valentine's Day, a little late...

This past week and a half kind of flew by again. Nothing too crazy has been going on, just the usual grind of work and evening activities with the kids, but time sure finds a way to keep chugging on by.

This past weekend was packed full of activities. On Saturday, Emma and I had a girls date where we went to the zoo to play, and then we had a lunch date at McDonalds per Emma's request. We also did a little shopping, and then ended the day with a little crafting. It was a fun mommy and Emma day. Elliott had two naps during the day, so he didn't get to come along, but him and daddy hit the town and did their own thing.

On Sunday, we took Jim and Barb to a Stampede Hockey game with the kids. Everyone had a really good time, and we got to see the game go to overtime, and then a shoot-out, so it was a pretty good game.

The highlight of this week was Valentine's Day. On Monday evening, Emma and I worked on her Valentines as well as her Valentine's box. She was so excited to help work on it, and then show it to all of her friends. She loves holidays, and gets so excited for them! It was pretty cute to watch her enthusiasm. She came up with her Valentine's Box all by herself, and called it a "silly, robot monkey" box. It was adorable.

Elliott helped me with his Valentine's a little, but mostly he just enjoyed sampling the goods, and scribbling with markers. Pretty typical.

Tuesday was Valentine's Day, and the kids had a blast at daycare. Emma came home with a bucket full of Valentines and candy, and she got to wear her PJs to daycare, so it was a great day, and she loved telling us all about it.

Elliott's room had a Valentine's Day Party as well, but I'm not sure he knew what was going on at all. But he enjoyed digging into some of his candy this week.

The rest of the week has been pretty quiet. The weather has been absolutely amazing though. It's about 54 degrees outside right now, and tomorrow is supposed to get into the 60s. I am really enjoying the warm weather. I am thinking about bringing the kids to the park for a little while this afternoon to help them burn of a little energy, it should be fun!
