Valentine's Day Fun
Could yesterday have been more awesome? :-)
This is the first time Melisa got to experience Valentine's Day in a "real" school. Let me tell you, she just ATE IT UP! She came home with a teddy bear given to her by a boy who has a crush on her. She was told that she is the FIRST girl in their class to ever get a "special" present from a boy! I am SOOOO not ready for this! I am getting ahead of myself though....
The day started out with chapel at the school. Melisa's class dressed up like Abe Lincoln to say the Gettysburg Address. They were just TOO cute! When I get back on MY computer I will post pictures. Then, she got to experience her first school party day! :-) She was SO full of sugar that she was bouncing off the wall! When I picked her up from her classroom, she had a sandwich bag full of Valentine Cards, candy, and other goodies. She also had a vase of 5 carnations from the carnation sale (I sent her 3 and she got 2 from friends) and her teddy bear who was named "Mr. Cuddles" but has since been changed to "Love." I am telling you people, I am SOOO not ready for this!
Cali had a school party as well. She came home with 2 flowers, a bag full of cards and goodies, and a tummy full of SUGAR! :-) She was so proud of her cards. She went through each one naming the friend who gave them to her. I don't think she could have been ANY cuter!
As if they hadn't had enough excitement for one day, after school we headed to Miss. Kristy's house for a Valentine's Day party/sleepover. I am not sure all that they have done, but I know they made homemade pizza, watched a new movie, played games, and lots more. They called me around 9:00 to tell me goodnight and I haven't heard from them since.
Clark and I actually got to go on one of those things...what are they called...it has been so long I can't remember! Oh yeah, a D-A-T-E!!!! We had an AMAZING dinner at Olive Garden (and ate WAY too much). Our next stop was Baskin Robbins where we got some chocolate chip ice cream to take home and devour. Our final stop before home was blockbuster. We rented "Fireproof" and headed home to cuddle up with a good movie and ice cream! We actually got to watch an ENTIRE movie without getting interrupted ONCE! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my girls, but it was so relaxing to just sit and watch a movie without jumping up every 5 minutes!
Today maybe Valentine's Day, but we are back to reality. We have to get the house clean, do some laundry, get fitted for my dress and Clark's tux for the wedding in March, pick up the girls, and grade papers. We may be back to reality...but I have a feeling my patience will go a lot farther today, lol!
