Valentines Day

We celebrated Valentines day early this year since Mark has to work that day. The kids got Mark cards, I made heart shapes muffins and we had sparkling cider with breakfast. That was pretty much the extent of our Valentine effort at home but the kids didn't care. They were happy we were all home having a family breakfast, which sadly is something we haven't done in 3 weeks since Mark has been so busy. I'm counting down the months till high season is over so we can do these simple family things more often.

Bieber Fever

The kids could not WAIT for the Justin Bieber movie to come out. Peyton has an adorable girl named Elle in his class who has a sister name Misha that is in Drew's class . They are all friends and were excited to see the movie together. I had absolutely NO interest in seeing it and even debated on taking my kindle to help pass the time. Well, I hate to admit it but I really liked it. It was a documentary about how he got to where he is and I now have a soft spot for the cute singer. If you have kids I highly recommend it. I think they'd love it.

Superbowl

We watched Superbowl hoping the Steelers would win. No luck but still a fun time was had by all. After the game and dinner we decided it was a perfect time for sparklers. Doesn't everyone light sparklers to make the night complete?

Happy Birthday Peyton

Peyton decided he wanted his 9th birthday at the Palm Springs Skate Park because he had so much fun at Ty's. I couldn't argue. Easiest party ever. We had pizza, Sk8erade (get it), cake that turned your tongue blue and a 13 happy kids that rode their skateboards, scooters and even rollerblades. We only 2 very minor kid wipeouts and 1 adult (Mark). I think he really was remembering how much fun it was when he was younger and realized his body just doesn't move like that anymore. One of Peyton's highlights of the day was the matching shirt and hat Ty gave him. The hardest part for me.... just the fact that another year went by, another year he got older. It's going by way too fast.
