Over Achiever and other Valentine’s stuff

The kids came home on Friday with all their Valentine’ s goodies. All I have to say is there are a lot of over achievers out there. I can’t imagine how much time it took to make some of the Valentine’s my kids came home with. One of the mother’s I know has 9 other kids! Where does she find the time?

I admit that I usually help my kids make their Valentine’s, but not this year. They begged and pleaded for the cool store bought generic ones and well I gave in. It was cheap, fast, and easy I love it.

Ash had a 3 day weekend that he turned into a 4 day weekend using some vacation time. We decided to spend the weekend with the kids having fun. Some much needed and long overdue family bonding time. So on Valentine’s day we headed to Salt Lake for the Monster truck rally because we are white trash fun like that. For Ash something like this is a novelty, for me it’s just like every other white trash event my dad ever took me to as a kid. I tried to get out of it, but it was no use.

The up side is the kids loved it.

Giving up mine and Ash’s Valentine’s weekend was totally worth it, but I still think Ash owes me a hot Valentine’s date. I’ll let him make it up to me this weekend.

    That’s funny my kids want to make the Ipod one this year but instead we tried something else that failed so we ended up skipping the whole Vday thing.
