Thursday's are always a bit relaxed around here.  I have women's bible study in the morning, so we don't do much regular book work.  I needed to run some errands alone, so I had them both do their spelling while I was gone.  Now, they are out playing ball with their friends.  I'll likely read our history and science books to them later.  Before bed, I'll have them read to me. 

The Valentine's Party went well.  Heh...except we had some tearful moments during 'Hot Heart' game (aka hot potato w/ a heart shaped pillow).  Finally, the second round of that, I made them promise that they would be good sports if they lost. 

I suppose it's one of those 'life lessons'....sometimes you win, sometimes you don't!  I just hated to be the 'teacher' during that one!  lol

They did better for the other games.  Heart bingo went over really well.  Decorating the boxes was fun too, but next year I might let them do that at home like we used to.  After the party was over, I had the kids suprise their sunday school teacher, Karla with a bunch of balloons and they sang 'Happy Valentines Day to You'.  She was totally taken by suprise which made it all the more fun to bless her!    She sent me pics this morning, and I'd post them if I knew how!   

  Anyways, I'm hoping to catch a date w/ my sweetie tonight.  We both want to see the new Harrison Ford movie. 

   Aside from that, I'm flying to CA tomorrow night.  I am going to miss my hub n girls something fierce, but a little time away fills my tank!  I am looking foreward to seeing my two dear friends I've known since 3rd grade.  Wow...that's a LONG time!  We're staying at my sis-in-law's cabin in Tahoe.  I hear it's cold n snowy....hopefully sunny as well!   One of these years we need to meet somewhere warm like Hawaii. 

A girl can dream can't she?  hehe....
