Our simple Valentine's day

Friday was a lot of fun!

I got to spend the morning in Jordan's

class helping out with Valentine activities.

The kids are so much fun to be around and just love having you there.

After a couple hours in the classroom I stayed for lunch and recess too!

At recess Jordan and his friends played a game of run wild with a ball

and try to get it from one another. When they got bored with that they joined a game of basketball.

I went home for a few hours and then returned to his school

in time for them to open their valentines!

That night we dropped the kids with my mom.

We headed into Bellingham to do a little shopping.

Afterwards we got some dinner. We were going to go

see a movie but going home and cuddly up in bed to watch one

seemed way more appealing. So that is what we did. It was a

perfect evening together. Nothing fancy but I wouldn't have 

done it any other way.

We celebrated Valentines day with the kiddos tonight with yummy dinner, 

strawberry milkshakes, fresh baked cookies and hedbandz.

Jordan absolutely loved playing this game.

It was a really fun little family night.

 Looking forward to date night with Josh tomorrow night!!!

My mom is going to have the kids and we are going out!

We are going to go shopping, dinner and maybe a movie!!

Josh and I celebrated a few days early on our date night.

Every Tuesday is our date day!

I met Josh at his office but first I really wanted a yummy

coffee. I have been having my coffee pretty bland at home 

so a Starbucks coffee is a very tasty treat now!

We wanted to do something different this week

so we went to shoot guns.

It was a first time for me but something I have been wanting to try.

After a few shots I was pretty comfortable

and didn't have that bad of aim either!

Afterwards we ran a few errands like Costco and Walmart.

It is all about the time spent together right!

Then we went and had some yummy pad thai for dinner.

I had bunco that night so I went one way and he another to get Jordan.

On Valentine's day we had a pretty low key day.

Cohen stopped by to bring me a card and a yummy dessert.

Josh took flowers to Michelle at school and hand delivered them to her.

She also came home with a teddy bear and flower from a boy.

We all ate dinner as a family.

We gave the kids their Valentines baskets and decided last

minute to surprise them with our trip to Disneyland.

We were going to wait until the night before but I was ready to tell them.

I threw in a bunch of Mickey and Minnie things in their baskets.

When we told them Jordan could care less but Michelle was excited.

I don't think Jordan even knows or understands what Disneyland is.

We will change that soon!

We leave in 9 days!

Josh had a church league basketball game that we all went to.

Then it was home for strawberry milkshakes and Beauty and the Beast.

  

Apparently Jordan had already seen this movie while he was in my tummy.

My tummy has a tv in it and satelite coming out of it too!

After kiddos went to bed got in a dessert and a little snuggle time.

Love Day

We kept our Valentine's Day pretty low key.

I love doing little things to make any holiday a little more special and memorable.

Our garage is stuffed with totes that I have filled with special things for each holiday.

So today I pulled out all the plates, place mats, cups, ect.

For breakfast I made Chocolate chip banana pancakes.

Recipe here.

Michelle and Jordan both went off to school with their Valentines.

Jordan was having a party the last hour of his class so I went to that.

When I arrived I was the second parent there so they were able to start the party!

The class was divided into two groups and I took one group to the bouncy house.

After a while we switched and went to the play structure to play.

Then it was time to head back to the class room for passing out cards and snacks!

We kept our gifts for the kids simple this year.

Knowing they would get enough sugar and treats from school.

We just picked out an item for each child and a small treat.

For Michelle I picked out a t-shirt and tank top to layer.  

That apparently is all the style now.

For Jordan we got an angry bird toss game.

I love decorating for fun occasions.
I set to work as soon as the kids finished snack.

Jordan wanted to share his candy with everyone so he went around and placed one at each spot.
Michelle decided that was a nice idea so she too shared a piece of candy with everyone at the table.

When Josh came home he brought flowers for Michelle and I.
As Josh was handing Michelle her flowers Jordan was super excited because he thought the red roses were for him.  When Josh told him they were for me he got really sad.  So we pulled one out for him and put it in a little jar at his place.  He was very happy!

Josh was amazing and came home and jumped right into making dinner for us!

Steak, potatoes, and strawberry milk shakes!

After dinner we opened up cards and gifts!

My parents stopped by on their way home from dinner to visit.

Jordan got grampa to play some angry birds with him.

After they left we watched a snuggle show (the voice).

It was a nice, relaxed family evening.

Nothing fancy but alot of fun!
