Our Valentines Day was full of Sweet Treats and Parties..............
Cary surprised us with our favorite Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the morning. My favorite are the lemon filled and the glazed. The kids always go for the chocolate and the sprinkles. They were so delicious with a tall glass of ice cold milk.
Kate and I had two parties to go to. We started at Joshua's class party. His teacher had a great idea for all those Valentine cards that usually get thrown out as soon the kids get home. She made a book with all the kids names and had them paste their Valentines in the book as a keep sake. It is really cute!
Then Kate and I were off to Braeden's party. I didn't get many pictures. I couldn't get them to sit still long enough to snap pictures. I think at this age they are kind of over passing Valentines out. They just want the candy.
When we got home my good friend Julie brought us some very yummy goodies.
Cary usually brings me flowers every year............which I love, but this year he decided to do something a little different. He brought me a bouquet of chocolate covered strawberries and some heart shaped pineapple that had also been dipped in chocolate. They were so delicious!
I hope everyone had a fun filled Valentines Day and feels as loved as I do!!
Kate was invited to her friend, Adria's birthday party. She had so much fun! I am behind on posting pictures so there will be more to come. Stay tuned!

Braeden had to do a science project for three science grades. If it would have been an option we wouldn't have done it.....to much work! He decided to test batteries. He chose Duracell, Energizer, and Rayovac. He used 3 identical flashlights and checked them every 30 minutes. Two flashlights went out at the same time so he had to retest. He checked them every 15 minutes until they started dimming and them every 5 after that. He found that the Rayovac battery was the stinkiest. Energizer and Duracell lasted a long time but Duracell came out on top. I guess the Energizer bunny doesn't keep going and going and going.
The cub scouts had their annual Pinewood Derby race last night and Braeden came in first place. It was very exciting for him. He did some research on the internet and found the design for his car. He chose it because it looked really cool. He and Cary worked on the car over the weekend and there hard work payed off. Congratulations Braeden!!
We had an awards assembly last week at school. Joshua got the star student award. Two kids from each class for each of the nine weeks in the semester are awarded the star student award. Braeden received perfect attendance for the semester and he was the only kid in his class to get "A" honor roll. GOOD JOB GUYS!!!
Ok......so the weather men here in North Texas DO NOT know how to predict weather. Last night Cary and I were watching the news and the weather guy....(Ron Jackson to be exact from Fox 4 news) said it would be cold but mostly dry with a very, very slight possiblilty of snow flurries to the south but probably nothing to the North of the metroplex. Well, we woke up this morning with school being canceled and a white front yard. I have to say it was a very nice surprise and the kids were very excited. Snow does not happen very often here so when it does everything pretty much shuts down......IT'S "SNOW" MUCH FUN!!!
