Weekend Update

The sun peeked out on Thursday so we hurried into shoes and jackets and headed to the park to enjoy it!
 

 
I am a sucker for anything Disney princess.  As are the girls.  So, when I saw these princess bed tents on sale for 75% off, I was sold!  The girls each got one and spent most of Friday playing in them.  And even sleeping together in Laurel's twin bed and the princess tent.

 

 
 
Sarah and I are training for a half marathon in mid-May and Friday night was our first training run together.  My mom watched the kids while we ran and then we all had dinner together.  They really love being at Grandma's house.....which probably has something to do with her candy drawer that they are all tall enough to reach.  Here are some adorable pictures of Levi stretching with Aunt Sarah.

Love

On of my favorite holidays is Valentines Day......a day when I get to go over the top to show those I love that I love them!
 
The kids woke up to find personal hearts on the wall telling them how much we love them.

They seemed to love each other a little more than usual on Valentines Day.

We made cookies for our friends we love and delivered them.

Erika had a Valentines part in her class where they made cards for senior citizens who receive Meals on Wheels.  That day, they got a little special surprise from kindergartners with their meals!

And she received a bunch of cards and candy from her friends.
 
My mom and I took the kids to Dairy Queen for a very special, and messy, lunch date.
 
We also were able to experience God's love for us with a beautiful warm and sunny day in February.  And the love of an earthworm.
