Valen-Tired

We had a busy Valentine's Day this year.  The day before we had a fun playgroup party and the kids exchanged Valentines.  On real Valentine's Day we made sugar cookies.  The kids liked spreading the flour around.

 And we had to decorate the cookies.

The kids heavily favored the conversation hearts (Matthew calls them "fortune hearts") in their decorating.

We had to run a bunch of errands, including a last minute visit to the scout shop and when we got home we had some time to decorate with a few balloons.  We put some candies inside each one and blew them up.  Then the kids had fun playing with them.  Yes, it looks like Anna is about to attack Grant, but they were really just playing with the balloons.

 We also went to Matthew's preschool Valentine party.  Here are the kids playing musical chairs.

And our evening culminated with a romantic dinner...the Blue and Gold cub scout dinner.  Why did we have the Blue and Gold dinner on Valentine's Day?  Because that was our scheduled day (second Tuesday of the month) to have the room at the church.  I tried to get the date changed months ago (I am one of the cub scout leaders, which is why we went) but I was out voted.  If I'm in that situation again, I'm going to fight harder to change the date, 'cause I would have much rather been having dinner at home with the family or a nice dinner out with Scott than running a cub scout dinner on Valentine's Day.  In any case, it's over now and I think Scott and I will be going out to dinner some other night this week.  :)  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

They planned a Relief Society Service Project for Valentine's night in our ward. I figured no one would show up, but we actually had a pretty good turn out. Dana had to work that night, so I was there too.
