Valentine's Day 2010....
We had spinach stuffed manacotti and heard-shaped breadsticks for dinner. Tyson helped me make it. We've had a lot of fun cooking together on Sundays now that we have church from 1-4pm. We make something and put it in the oven to bake while we're gone. His goal is to make a whole meal by himself soon. I LOVE having his help/company in the kitchen.
Valentine's Eve: Rick and I went to a party with some friends. Tyson babysat (Paige slept). We came home to this. It was so sweet. Bradley was on the floor next to them.
We had a fun morning as a family.
The boys all got new sneakers, Paige tried them on, while getting her fill of chocolate. My Valentine to her was a helium balloon. I knew she'd love it. It was also part of the center piece with some flowers for our dinner.
But they couldn't have been more excited about the Valentines' from Grandma and Grandpa Hoyle. After Kate saw her $4 dollar bills she shouted "I'm free!." Later, she said "I can buy ANYTHING I want!"
Showing off his 8 dollar bills. He was so happy that Grandma rounded up.
Paige helping herself to one of her favorite and most accessible foods. Thankfully she put something healthy in her body after all that chocolate.The next two days were mid-winter break (shortened due to the teachers' strike in September). Monday, the kids played with their friends all morning, then we went to the Supermall as a family in the afternoon to rent skis and climb the wall. Tuesday the boys went skiing with Rick. It was Bradley's first time, and Tyson's 3rd.
