Valentines Day

Valentines Day here actually started Thursday evening and Friday morning with the boys working on their Cards for their classmates.  Grand mom Bowers sent over cards for this the week before. Valentine's Day at the house consisted of the same exact flower as last year being given followed by a special "reclate" breakfast.  It was finished by the kids performing a magic show for mom.

Friday night movie night.

Never gets old

Darth Vader

Ok so I have gone Pinterest crazy. Zaky's birthday party will be this Friday and the theme will be StarWars. We have watched the first three (4,5,6). I am now attempting a Darth Vader piñata. I am crafting it with card board and duct tape as the kids and Bill are listening to Weird Al Yankovic Star Wars parodies. I lift up the frame and Bill gives a nod, Jonas says "what the?", no he din'ent. Yo yo yo Yoda, Yo yo yo yo Yoda....

Jonas' first cavity

His first cavity was a doozy. He by nature is very physical (he hits).  I prayed all afternoon for him while he was at the dentist. Bill had the honor of taking him. I took the last child who bit down a little to hard on the poor dentist.  I called after the appointment was over and asked Jonas how he did

"I didn't even hit him" 

"Daddy held my legs down, but I didn't kick him either"

"Daddy bought me a Santa Clause hat and is giving me a green money, I earned it!"
