Valentines Fun

Well, with Jeff gone to Taiwan, we have been busy holding down the fort and getting ready for Valentines Day.  That meant something totally different for each child.  Morgan had the Sweethearts Dance tonight.  So, crazy us thought we could make her a dress.  Well we could, but that poses its own difficulties.  So after about a gazillion hours working on this dress and fine tuning it to fit her, we finished and she is off....  And by the way, she found these super cute red heels to go with her outfit.  Unfortunately, they make her taller than her date (ooops).  So we had her take them off for pictures.  Then, surprise, her date picked her up in a motorhome.  Crazy kids!

Then Mason asked a certain girl to be his valentine a few weeks ago.  So on Monday he gave me a list of the things he wanted to get her.  So I asked him how he was going to pay for it.  He kind of walked away and left it at that.  Well, Tuesday comes along, and he comes home from school and says, "Mom, what can I do to earn some money?"  So we gave him a list of chores and he got right on it.  He got his valentine some candy and wrote her a cute poem.  I haven't met this one yet.  I was hoping to meet her when I picked the kids up from the choir practice, but she wasn't there that night, bummer.  He felt bad because she got him more candy than he got her.  Young love, what can you do.

Then there was Sydney.  No valentines for her, other that the obligatory ones for her classmates.  We looked on Pinterest to get some good ideas, and we settled on the army man one, "Glad you are in my troop valentine", or "You're worth the fight valentine"...  but we couldn't find any army men.  So we found some crazy straws.  She picks them up and says "You SUCK valentine!" and started laughing.  Since we couldn't find anything else, we settled for "Life would suck without you valentine!"  It was pretty funny.  And then she made her valentine box to look like a box troll.  they loved that movie and it fit nicely with the box theme.

I am waiting for my Valentine tomorrow.  I get to pick him up in the morning.  Hope you all have a great Valentines week-end and enjoy the pics!
