V-Day Fun

Carson thinks Valentines Day is great which makes me love it even more.  It is fun to make a big deal about it and his favorite thing about it is the heart tablecloth and the heart paper plates.  He is a funny kid.  We got up and going a little late which was not good because Carson had a party at school.  I totally thought it started at 9:30 but it started at 9:00.  OOPS!  So we put it in high gear.  We ate pink pancakes and I gave the kids their little gifts- chocolates, a balloon and a shirt to wear for the day.  It was brilliant to give Carson a shirt because he was so excited to put it on and he got ready faster than he every has before.  We hurry and jumped in the car and were off to the party...a few minutes late!  We made it and had a great time.  They had the cutest little activities and crafts which Carson was NOT interested in.  All he wanted to do was swat the balloons and hang out with his best buddy James.  He did think it was awesome that he gave everyone a Valentine and that he had a bag full from his class so I was glad at least that was exciting to him.  I really wanted to do something cute for his class, but Carson really wanted to get the Justice League ones with tatoos from the grocery story.  It was hard for me for a minute and then once again I had to stop and say...."This is about him...NOT YOU!"  This happens often to me!  Ha ha.  We hooked a cute little thing of bubbles on the Valentine and he was SO excited.  It made it all worth it to see him so happy.  Anyway party went well and we came home and Carson has his friend James and his sister Naomi over for a few hours.  They have so much fun together and it is great having them over.

I was planning on making a nice dinner but wasn't sure Chill was going to make it home so I decided it was Happy Meals for the kids and I would just eat something at home.  I know fun for me!  Well when I was in line at McDonalds, Chill called and said he was on his way home.  That was the earliest he'd been off in weeks.  It was nice for the kids to see him.  After the kids were in bed I decided I needed something good for dinner so I hopped in the car and got some Chinese takeout.  Chill and I enjoyed dinner togeth at about 9:30 p.m. but it was delicious so it was worth it.  All in all it was a good day!

Random Note....

Carson tied his first ever bow!!! 

He was tying his balloon to the chair and did it all by himself. 

I was so dang proud..ha ha!
