Valentine's Day

Jordyn had a Valentine's Day party at preschool so she got all dressed up including curly hair for school. We made rice krispie treats for her to bring to her party.  After school Dylan and Haley came home and the kids opened up their presents from Don and me. Patience and Jordyn each got a Zum, which is a kind of Webkinz that they had both been coveting for a long time. Dylan and Haley each gor a Webkinz so they can now go online and play. Nick got some high-quality fruit snacks and chocolate covered raisins. And Sean, though he was still in bed most of the day yesterday, got candy and a Dairy Queen gift card.

Dylan and Haley decided that instead of going out for sushi for Valentine's Day that they would try to make it themselves...and they did! Dylan had purchased everything they'd need to make a few different types of rolls and then they looked for online instructions, etc. They were quite happy with the results and are looking forward to more practice. I was quite happy with the way they cleaned up my (upstairs) kitchen when they were done! After seeing the kitchen mid-way through the project, I wasn't feeling too hopeful. But they pleasantly surprised me : )
