Valentine's Day

I love having Paul and LeiLani so close. They watched Logan, Taylor, and Kendall while Alexis, William and I went out to dinner at Fleming's. If I had known that Alexis would sleep the entire time, I would have left her, too :-) Although she probably wouldn't have slept long with all that noise that 6 kids can make when they're together.



I had to do a little re-do of our Valentine's Day picture 3 years ago, when Logan and Taylor were 4 and Kendall was 2. It still cracks me up because Kendall's reaction to the kisses was so genuine.


We made Valentine's Day boxes for school and the kids did a great job. Kendall's even lit up.



For dinner, we made cheese-filled heart pastries and had cherry 7-up with vanilla ice cream. Easy peasy and the kids loved it.


Kendall came home with this from school. It lists 10 of her favorite things:
1. pitsu (pizza)
2. iscrem (ice cream)
3. family
4. candey (candy)
5. food
6. chacalet (chocolate)
7. mom and dad
8. bozs and grls (boys and girls)
9. chuz and suks (shoes and socks)
10. and tits (and tights)
Yes, that last one made me laugh out loud. I actually had to ask her what she had written because I could not figure it out.
And white we're talking about humor, I have to share something that the kids did this month. I could hear them all giggling in the boys' bathroom, so I knew something was up. I went in to check up on them to find Taylor pooping in the toilet, Logan standing over the bathtub and peeing, and Kendall squatting over the sink and peeing. WE HAVE 4-1/2 BATHROOMS IN THE HOUSE!!! It's not like they have to wait for their turn. I stood there for a full minute, trying to decide if I should be mad or laugh it out.



William surprised me with a stuffed animal, some Dove chocolates, and chocolate-covered strawberries.


Unfortunately, I only got one piece because Kendall ate the rest, in one sitting. Logan and Taylor were so sweet and replaced the chocolate pieces with some of their own candy. I sneakily put it all back in their bags, but the thought was really sweet and appreciated.
