Valentine's Day

Happy belated Valentine's Day (the worst holiday ever). Kristin added to V-day being the worst by stressing over what to do for the boys'school Valentines. I thought you just bought a bag of cards from the store, taped on a piece of candy and called it a day, but apparently that is not good enough. She ended up printing pictures of the boys, gluing them on paper, and taping a sucker to them (it looks like the boys are holding the sucker). They look nice and I wasn't trying to make fun, but I made the mistake of asking if it was normal to have your own photo on a Valentine's Day card...seemed a little strange. Kristin was not happy that I "made fun of" her creation. I'm not sure why suddenly my opinion matters.

I do feel bad though. I told Kristin I would take care of dinner Friday and was going to really step up the romance. Sadly, I was not able to bring home the heart shaped pizza from Rocky Rococo's as planned. I called three different stores and they couldn't take any more orders. I had no idea the heart shaped pizzas were so popular.

Lots of practice signing his Valentines, finally became legible near the end of the stack

On Sunday we went to Pheasant Fest to visit Bampa, who was working the convention. The boys had a lot of fun running around, climbing on the displays and petting puppies. There was an Animae convention on a different floor in the same building and we enjoyed checking out their costumes  There were some pretty crazy outfits and kinda funny to see that crowd mixed with the camo-wearing Pheasant Fest crowd.

Cole is working on a "mail" unit at school and we had to write letters to him that could then be delivered and opened. I only bring this up because he said that he liked my letter better than Kristin's. Admittedly, he liked mine better because I included a picture for him to color,which was actually Kristin's idea...but I didn't tell him that, just enjoyed the praise. 

Henry started out the school V day party with a little timeout for using that big blue rug as his dance floor and not listening. He really has some moves and feels the beat
