Happy Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

This year we started early, AJ loves to help decorate se we put up stickers on the window, set the table, decorated the piano and put a wreath on the door. I gave AJ the choice to pick valentines for his class or to make them, so we made 30 alagators, its tummy holds candy and it says "I'd snap at the chance to be your Valentine" so cute, it only took lots and lots of hours, next year were buying them.

I'm the room mom for AJ's class we had a fun party, decorating cookies, playing games with candy hearts, a bean bag toss, handing out valentines. What wonderful choas. On Valentines morning I made red heart shaped pancakes, bacon, fresh squeesed OJ. Everyone got to look in their valentines bucket and see what I gave them the boys got a big pencil, candy, a car, and a card. I gave Grayson the same plus a movie. They enjoyed looking in their buckets. We enjoyed a busy day. At the end of the day I had Grayson help the boys make "love bugs" there so cute and easy to make. The kids loved them.

Than Grayson and I ate a romantic dinner and watched a movie together. What a wonderful day!!

Anson's playgroup

Anson has his learning playgroup every Tuesday. He loves it he and asks everyday "marshas house" he thinks the lady who runs it lives there, how cute. This group is very structured for learning purposes, they learn to follow directions, play well with others, and eating skills. Anson loves to sing the songs and is so excited to use props with each song. After that they get to free play, they play in the balls, slide, swing and any other activity the kids want to do. Than we go eat snacks, the kids loves this, they get to everything themselves, pour their drinks, dish up their food or even spread their own jam. We all sing the "good bye" song and say good bye. This has been great for Anson and I, he learns and gets to play plus we get to spend time together. I to learn how to handle his screaming, tantrums, not sharing and getting him to eat. He has progressed so much these last few months, We love to see him grow.

Weekend without Dad

Thursday Grayson took off to Arizona, so I tried to spend some quality time with my boys. Thursday night Kyla and I meet up in SLC, had dinner at Paradise Bakery, yum food, our kids started to get restless so we went to Trolley Square and the kids played at Pottery barn kids until they kicked us out. It was fun to see all of them get along. Friday night I took the kids to McDonald's, we played together and ate happy meals :) no cooking! On Saturday we got up and took AJ to tae kwon do, he tested and received his green belt, an after a nap and lunch we went to the dinosaur museum. They always have so much fun playing in the sand, AJ wanted to know all the names. Anson thought they were going to bite him. That just made me laugh. Sunday we had a low key Superbowl party. Our friends came over with their son, so AJ and Anson played, the girls talked and we all enjoyed nachos. We picked up Dad from the airport something the boys love to do but were asleep by the time we got there. Since there wasn't school on Monday and dad worked we continued our no dad weekend by going to Ikea. AJ loves to play and of course Anson was mad he couldn't go play too but he enjoyed doing thing around the store. All in All we had a great weekend, next time hopefully dad can come!
