[m] 02.14.11  happy valentine's day... darric surprised us all with sweet cards and new books... max already got his books the other day... kenzie stayed home sick and we still managed to leave extra late... madi had a light bloody nose... and max decided he did NOT want to go to school when we got to the gate... once again, i pulled him to his teacher and then she pushed him in the classroom... he had valentines to pass out and he didn't seem to care... until about 20 minutes into class time... after his teacher read a funny story... got my grocery shopping done... max took a nap, so i left him home with kenzie to go get madi... i made chicken enchiladas for our vday dinner... we had heart-shaped napkins and root beer in bottles... then me and madi ran to pay her costume fee and picked me up a starbucks... i cut brownies and scooped some ice-cream for dessert... and then when i almost forgot... i got the kids' gifts ready... kenzie got socks (fun un-boring socks), madi got a mini lalaloopsy set and max got a puzzle and new basketball shorts... 

[tu] 02.15.11  everyone was back to school today... without having to be forced... we had our blog meeting at jodie's after max got out... our schedule this year is tricky with max half day, quincy a few days a week and beckam the other days of the week, that doesn't leave us with much time... but we always make sure there's time for lunch and it's usually jimmy johns... max left happily... we had spaghetti for dinner...

[w] 02.16.11  madi had dance tonight... her regular teacher was back... madi took her in a jar of conversation hearts for valentine's day... there was nowhere for me to sit because i had to stop for a starbucks... so i came home and made dinner...
