Won't you be my Valentine?

We had a great Valentine's Day this year. Both kids were big enough to get really excited about the day. Pat had a great time helping me get ready. The weekend before we made a mailbox for his Valentine's at school. The box turned out exactly like he wanted. Also that weekend, Pat also begged me to take him to La Salette to see the lights. Even though it was freezing cold, I agreed. We took a hayride all through the paths, and got to see all of the lights. It was super cold, but pretty.

The night before Valentine's Day, the kids and I went to the craft store, and picked up supplies so I could decorate in the morning. Pat and I baked a cake and hid it so he could give it to Daddy on Valentines. On Valentine's morning, I got up super early and decorated the kitchen. Then, I made a yummy breakfast, and woke everyone up. We opened our gifts, and had a family breakfast before I had to go to work.

Mini Mudders

This summer Kenny is planning on running in a Tough Mudder Race. Basically, it's 10 miles through obstacles and really tough terrain. Patrick has been hearing him talk about it, and has been running "races" outside. Today, I decided to build him his own obstacle course in the back yard. He sad he's going to practice so he can run with Daddy in his race this summer. Renee even got in on the course.

Up and over!
