Valentines times 2!
One of the things the kids have really missed about homeschooling is the class parties :) Although we have playdates and such with friends we decided to set up a Valentines party.........or 2 :) The first one was on Thursday and it was with our Keepers group.
The kids enjoyed a snack then got right to decorating their bags to put their valentines in :)
They put the valentines in their bags then we played some games. One of which was heart bingo. They used some heart shaped valentines candy to cover their spots ;)
I didn't think to take any pictures of the other valentines party we hosted, but it was Friday afternoon :) We had 5 moms and 17 kiddos...........so about like a class party! LOL The kids played and enjoying sharing all of our animals. And it was a beautiful day so they were able to run and play outside and enjoy the sun. We had some snacks and exchanged valentines and fun was had by all :) Although it was a bit of work I definitely think we'll be hosting these events again!

A trip home...........
to Mississippi to see David's Family :) We had a handsome nephew born early this December and we hadn't been in awhile so we made the trip the first weekend in Feb to see the family. I think the kids are getting better about the traveling with each trip :) Not that it was perfect but it was better :)
On the way down our DVD player died on us so we had to make a walmart run and buy one..........sad part was that we couldn't find the double screen ones so we went ahead and got a single screen then when we stopped at a walmart on our way home we found out they were in automotive NOT with all the video stuff :( But alas after some persuasion from David ;) I resolved to just being thankful we had one that was working and the kids were happy!
It was a nice trip, just to short...........
The kids played a really cute game where you hold a character/animal card up to your face and ask questions trying to guess who/what you are, it was too cute!
Since Micah sucks on his index finger everyone always makes a game about asking if they can have a taste or at least have the other finger.........so here papaw was trying to get the other one!
Micah sleeping.......his only 45 min nap on the 9hr trip home! Gotta love those road trips huh?!?
Caleb took a nice little nap too :)

Snow.......no ice playday :)
Yep, you read right. The ground is covered in pretty white..........ice! But alas the kids wanted to go play in it anyway :) So we dug out the snow gear and bundled up. Here's Micah all puffed out in Caleb's gear from last year.
Brianna was a great big sis and followed Micah around to make sure he didn't fall and that his gloves stayed on :)
Caleb in his gear........Ethan's from 2 yrs ago.........the pants were Brianna's before that!
I'm not sure WHY they were raking the ice, but they were :) They wanted to me to take them to the hill to sled, but I had to explain that it's road so it's not safe to sled on it :(
I'm not sure what the kids were doing but apparently Caleb thought he'd try to make a snow angel :)
Of course leave it to Ethan to get a great new idea :)
And of course that looked fun right.........so who else should try :) Oh and yes, Micah is back outside...dressed in another set of clothes! LOL Don't worry he only lasted a few minutes.

Micah goes fishing :)
It was so cute! Micah found one of the boys fishing poles and I think the kids put the hat on him, but he though he was the man :)
"Huh, me?"
"Huh, me?"
MNI.....the truth comes out :)
Ok, so I have an awesome dh that realizes my need for socialization and time with the girls :) What might we do at these gatherings..........well all kinds of things! Sometimes we just go to a movie, or dinner, sometimes we just hang out and have coffee. Other times we head to someones home and shock ourselves :) Kidding, this was a first for me (I actually didn't even play this game, just watched)! It was so much fun, we played Apples to Apples, Scattagories, and Guesstures along with a few brave that played this shocking game :)
About the game: So it's 2 controllers and it has buttons/sensors on it. Each player holds the controller. A small (so I'm told) shock is sent to each player, a pause, another shock. After 4 at the same level it'll get a little stronger....repeat 4x's......stronger.....etc. up to 4 strengths. The first player to let go (which I hear can only be done in between shocks cause your muscles like tense up) looses ;) How's that for some great fun?!?
I have more pics and video but I have to get the participants permission first :)
