Valentine's Happenings

Last Friday Jaron had his Valentine's party at school. I was there all day to help out because the second graders were doing rotations to different classrooms to do activities in each. Jantzen got to play with Coda all day so he was pretty excited. I made sure I was well prepared in the snack department so I wouldn't pass out in front of anyone. I think it worked out well, except I could have used a few more crackers. Jaron was happy that I was at school to have lunch with him, and at the end of the day his class got to hand out their Valentine's and eat treats. I, of course, ate his cupcake. He doesn't like them very much and I love white cake. I think the kids all had a good time and it was nice for me to not be stuck in my house all day.


On Saturday (Valentine's Day) we took the boys to Mt. Charleston to go sledding and that night we decided we wanted to take them to dinner instead of going out by ourselves. We went to Olive Garden (one of our favorites) and had to wait for over an hour before we got seated. Not only were the boys complaining that they were starving, but my stomach was too! While we were waiting we had the pleasure of listening to a guy next to us talking about miscarriages and exactly what happens during it. He went into a little too much detail, especially for being at a restaurant with people around to hear (he wasn't quiet at all). Josh was about to have a little talk with him, but lucky for the guy he stopped talking about it. How tacky is that? Then I got to listen to the same guy snorting up his snot through his nose. That grosses me out enough when I'm not pregnant, but it's a million times worse when I am pregnant. Other than that, we had a good time at dinner and yes, it tasted really good to me. Not many things do these days. We went home after dinner, watched a movie, then went to bed. It was a long day, but we had a great time together as a family.
