Valentine's Dinner

Jay was out of town during Valentine's weekend so it was just me and the kids. I made a dinner for the kids and we ate it by candlelight. I made the kids stay downstairs while I fixed it and had a little surprise on their plates when they came up. They were so excited! The whole time we ate dinner Brighton kept trying to blow out the candles. It was fun but I sure did miss my sweetheart!

Valentines Day Castle

For school Aspen had to make a Valentine's Day box. A note was sent home saying that there are going to be prizes for the funniest, prettiest, neatest, and so on. Aspen decided she wanted a castle. Well Jay being as competitive as he is had to make it the best (Hun, I know you don't think your competitive, but you are)! He was up late for two nights working on this. He had his scalpel out making precision cuts out of foam- he was so into it I was surprised he didn't just take it to the operating room. Aspen was so excited about her castle she couldn't wait for today to come - as you can tell she is beaming from ear to ear. Aspen is very lucky to have a dad to care enough to go the extra mile!

Thanks Jay!!!!

Aspen won a prize for the prettiest!!!
