Valentine's Day

Dad and Mom were here over Valentine's Day. The boys only request was one of those big Hershey's kisses!

I tried a new chocolate cake recipe I found. Dad and Mom brought home flowers! They lasted a long time! They were so pretty!
They said this rose was from Chloe! :)

A little note.....

One day I wrote little "love notes" for all 3 boys to find sometime in their day. I wrote them diagonally on each piece of paper. Later, I found this piece of paper carefully cut into a diamond....written by Byron....can't believe all they are learning in Kindergarten! It is so fun when they can write notes! He's been writing them to me now for about a year. I have a stack of notes from all 3 boys....I will keep them always! (And many of you know, I'm NOT a keeper!)

Chloe loves her blankets

Chloe has always loved her blankets...or any blanket for that matter! At night we take her "bedroom" off the tile so she doesn't get cold, and cover it w/ our throw. The next day I still hadn't put stuff back, when I found her lying on TOP of her crate....it was so cute. (Ok, ok, you have to be a dog lover, or even a Chloe lover, to think it was so cute!)

Ten-Fourteen fevers and company is my excuse. What's yours?

Hi! I don't know if there will be anybody out there still reading this since it's been so long since I've posted! A month! Yikes! It has been quite a month! We've had sick germs in our house for a month now....influenza (it was bad.....took me about 2 weeks to get completely over it)....colds, chicken pox (2 kids....very mild.....going around school....all the immunized kids are getting extremely mild cases so well worth the shot!), fevers (Byron was sick 2 separate times this month. He likes to check his temperature and give me progress reports. It was staying around ten-fourteen most of the time. Get it? 101.4. I thought that was cute.) Now we've got colds again. Mom and Dad came 2 weeks ago, so we've been busy busy busy in between sicknesses! We've made lefse, shopped, wiped noses, shopped, visited, shopped, eaten lefse, shopped. Well, you get the picture. They are leaving Monday or Tuesday depending on weather. I am not going to post any pictures tonight, but did want to let my readers (if there are any left!) that we are still alive and planning to continue this blog! :) :) Have a good Sunday tomorrow! (The spell check did not like the word lefse!)
