Valentine's Day & Other Random Things...

Valentine's Day was busy but fun for us. We made heart pancakes with chokecherry syrup for breakfast (sorry, I tried to turn the picture but it kept changing it back when I would copy it over - so, imagine it turned horizontally. :) )


Then I had to go to work until 2:00 and the boys then had a basketball game. Then we came home and relaxed for a bit before starting dinner. We usually have dinner by candlelight with the boys on Valentine's Day rather than try and go out because every place is so crowded and you have to wait for forever to get a table and eat, so we have learned that we just stay home with the boys. We usually have spaghetti, french bread, cherry 7Up (the boys favorite), beans and cherry cheesecake for dessert. Well, this year we changed things up just a bit and had Tortallini (spelling?), shrimp (ugh - but David, Bryson and Logan love it!), french bread, beans, Cherry 7Up and cherry cheesecake. The boys always love this dinner, I don't know if its the candles or the glasses we put the cherry 7 Up in or what but they get so excited about it. After we ate we were invited to our friends house to play games and have some more yummy dessert. (And it was yummy! :) ) Then off to bed for the boys and David and I watched a chic flick - I know, he is so good to watch those with me. :)

The other night when the boys were getting ready for bed Bryson and Logan were playing with George (Curious George) and Bryson told Logan that it was time to put "Dorge" (that is how Logan says it) to bed. They put a pair of Logan's underwear (Handy Manny) on him, a pair of hot wheels slippers (they were actually just the right size for George), and a sun hat and then put him to bed with a bunch of blankets and pillows. What a combination! Then of course they all said that they needed a picture taken by George. Funny boys!


Dillon came home from school the other day with this - he had made "Walley" (from the Disney movie) from recycled materials at school. He did such a good job on it - he is so proud of it.


And lastly, the boys were taking baths the other night and Bryson and Dillon had put their swimming goggles on and were going under the water and so on... well, the next thing I hear is little feet running and then a splash in the tub. I went in to see what was going on. Logan doesn't have any "swimming" goggles but he does have a pair of goggles that came with a set of toy tools he has. He had run out and got them and put them on in the tub. Needless to say they don't keep out water like "swimming" goggles do but he was happy with them anyway. He was so excited that he had some "gogo's" too. Oh... and those are Dillon's feet in the picture. :)

You guys are so creative! One of my other friends did a candle light with their boys too! I think we are going to try it next year! The girls probably would enjoy it more than going out to a restaurant! And so would mom~Sizzler's was a little crazy for the girls! Your boys are so cute!

Funny Jen, I was quite concerned when I saw just how BIG Logan's feet were but was very releaved that they were Dillon's instead :) Love your valentines tradition. Did you cook or did David? How did you handle the smell of the shrimp?:) Cute picture with Dorge:)!
