i spent valentines day running around like a crazy lady. between going to the school to help in paige's classroom in the morning, then running to town, then running back to the school to help with carson's party, then getting homework done, then running paige to her 4H sewing class, then trying to get a little valentines day dinner ready for my family, this mom was exhausted. luckily, we had a lovely little dinner, opened some valentines day presents, coop went to bed at 7:30, and then this tired mom got to relax and enjoy the rest of the evening.
once the kids opened up their valentines, they all disappeared to enjoy the goods. now that i think about it, they might have just headed to their rooms to consume more candy without getting in trouble;)
carson was so excited about his new lego's. thanks to a few of my good friends for finding and helping create the sweet lego guy organizer thing...cannot think of what else to call it. he loved it and spent the next hour filling it up with some favorite lego's.
since my girls are way too big for toys, they just get practical stuff. i do love that they get excited about socks, makeup, earrings, and even "electric toothbrushes" as carson called them.
i tried to buy coop a few things, but since he is always with me when i run to the store, he seemed to always find what i was trying to hide in the shopping cart and have it opened before i could stop him. luckily he is pretty easy to please. he would have been happy to just have the candy.
so grateful for all of my valentine's.
