It was an extra long 4day weekend with the Valentin's Holiday landing on Sunday and President's Day on Monday the kids were off Friday and mom exhausted on Tuesday. Lol. The weather was misserably cold all weekend long and so our aspirations and energy for the snow skiing plans were frozen with the temperatures. Friday and Saturday got used up by taking care of needs and preparing to express our love for each other through cards, flowers, chocolate, and food. Sunday was the big Valentin's day and we celebrated with lots of sweets, cakes, and a easy lasagna dinner. The boys got excited when they opened their cards from Grandparents and received a little $ to fatten their wallets. Adam decided that all of his lose change and cash should now reside in his safe that Zachary gave to him at Christmas and his receiving of some new cash funds couldn't have come at a better time for him. He loves seeing his bank roll grow. As they boys opened the card from Nana and Grandad I thought that this would be the last V-day card that they would receive for the next two years since they will be leaving for the mission to Ghana, Africa in little over a month. I'm grateful for their examples of service and also health in their older years. They have lived a life of health and I hope to be able to physically serve others in my senior years.
President's day was a hit with the boys we went to sensory overload indoor boardwalk complete with arcade, food court, rides, go karts, and laser tag. We signed up too late for laser tag but we got to do just about everything else. My favorite was getting to drive the go karts and beat everybody with my amazing driving skills. Andrew was my co pilot, as we passed people he would laugh and squeal with delight and then look back at them and wave. It was blissful. Watching Andrew on the spinning cars and other rides just confirmed how big he is getting. It makes me want to savor every moment I have with them for I know that it is fleeting. Zach and Andrew went with daddy to do rides while Adam and I went to play in the arcade. Adam was sucked into those claw machines and quickly learned that they are rigged to take your money and make you lose. He played several other games and really enjoyed the pleasure of being in charge of the "credit" card. After lunch and few more rides we returned before the snow storm took effect.
