Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow...what a fun weekend.  It's always fun to have Alfalfa and Miss Rascal here, they are SO good with Spanky and Darla and the little ones just LOVE the time with get with their older brother and sister.  This weekend we had some friends visiting so that just added to the fun.  On top of it all...It's VALENTINE'S DAY!

We have been busy leading up to this weekend with Spanky.  He had a party at school on Thursday, we made "Robot" valentine's.  Spanky really did help me make them.  He helped me cut the cardstock with the paper trimmer...under my CLOSE supervision.  His favorite part of making the valentine's, was of course, THE CANDY!  Since it's a "Peanut free zone" at school we weren't able to use the Mr. Goodbars so Spanky made it his goal to eat as many as he could to really help the cause of not wasting any...of course this was a BIG help to me so I didn't eat them! :)

Spanky really enjoyed getting "Valentine's" from his friends and again, the candy is just too much fun!  It Spanky is a "Lover" of somethings, it's CANDY!  He told me to hold his valentine bag, but "don't eat the candy or Mrs. Hedstrom (his teacher) would get mad".  It's a serious deal, that Valentine Candy!

Friday we enjoyed a fun lunch and play date with the Arneson's and had a great time with Nick and Amy visiting.  Spanky just loves Amy and her "hubbin" Nick.  We all do, but Spanky just thinks they are WAY FUN!  Amy brought some delicious cupcakes and cheesecakes for us to enjoy...yum!!!

One of Spanky's new favorite games is hunting for monsters.  You know, I tried for a LONG time not to allow "guns" in the house, you know, let's just not...really do we need to be violent?  Well, turns out that all boys at a certain age think "hunting" for something is just so fun.  SO, lately we've been "Monster Hunting" at our house.  Now Alfalfa and Miss Rascal set the bar this weekend for "Monster Hunting"...Alfalfa will encourage the drop and roll before you shoot, Miss Rascal has gone "Under cover" for the hunt....it's been GOOD times with the Monster Hunting!!

All of the kids had a great time to just hanging out and bonding, making memories and enjoying one another.  It's so fun to watch your children laugh and play together.  We are so blessed.

I need to wrap up this post so my wonderful "hubbin" can take me out to dinner.  On a side note....my "hubbin" has lost 35 pounds!!  He's looking so good and I am so proud of him!!  Oh and my friend and I got 10th ROW TICKETS TO TIM McGRAW for her birthday!! YEAH!!!

Happy Valentine's day you all!!
