Valentines Day

 We had a busy day this year. We spent the first half of the day cleaning and then we sent the second half having fun. We went to the park and then Target so the boys could look around and spend some of the money they have been saving

 After that we came home and opened a few Valentines, had some pizza, tried a new drink V8 strawberry lemonade sparkler and then had some chocolate covered strawberries.
 Spencer tried to "Photo bomb" all of my pictures. :)

 He especially wanted his blue tongue in the picture. :)  He has a blue tongue because he bought he and grant a Juicy Drop pop at target with his money. It is a type of sucker that has some sort of sour stuff you can squeeze on it. My boys love them.

We decided on chocolate covered strawberries that morning as we sat down together and made a meal plan.  Grant really enjoyed doing this. I was able to explain the idea of having limits when you choose what you will make. We talked about how much certain things cost to make and much the time and energy they require with preparation and clean up.We also talked about food groups and trying to coordinate the meals so that we get in all the food groups and limit the sugar stuff. Grant told me that he wanted to do this with me every week and hang it up on the refrigerator so he always knows what we will be eating.

Spencer got a cute Creative Journal

 Josh got two of these balls.

  Grant got some Pokemon Cards. Tyler got a coupon for a night off with no chores or kids or noise. Just silence and time to do whatever he wants.
I got a small planner for my purse and a coupon for a pedicure. :) I have only had two in my life--both gifts. I am sooo excited! The boys all got a pack of these Asian cookies that they love.
