Boring Weekend

Steve left work early on Thursday (which NEVER happens) because he didn't feel well and had weird GI things happening. Then, Wm came home from school on Friday and had the same issues that evening. So all my weekend plans were scrapped and it was a lazy weekend of laying around the house. We did get Wm's Valentine's box all made and decorated for his class party:

AND, we got all his Valentine's Day cards done too!! At his school, they only have parties for holidays that have no religious affiliation (like Halloween and Valentine's Day), so he is super pumped that he finally gets to party down!! Sadly, they also mostly have healthy food like grapes and stuff - he has NO idea what he's missing! I'm sure it's easier for the teacher as well has being good for the kids, though. I still have fond memories of stuffing myself full of Valentine's Day cookies, candies, and tiny hearts, and then running off my hyperactive kid sugar high for the whole rest of the day - before crashing painfully. What is childhood coming to?!? They also drag the kids in for indoor recess if it gets too cold out. We are raising a generation of lightweight children who have no idea how to party.
