Just checking in to see how everyone is today! All ready for Valentine's Day tomorrow? Caitlin is having a party in her class. My poor girl just returned to school today as she had two teeth extracted on Tuesday! SO hard seeing your kids suffer. My son has returned to school for the first time in over a year! He is out today due to his IBS but has been going to school since last week and is so happy to be back. Of course, he will still have some setbacks on some days, but for the most part, he is doing very well. My week has been filled with doctors' appointments for the kids and my Mom, (first the heart, now the lungs....) it can be so depressing sometimes but we have to wake up positive every morning, right?
I am looking forward to Spring and usually I am a Winter lover. We've been so impacted this year that I can barely stand to hear the weather! Next week is Winter Recess for the kids so they will enjoy a week home. We have a couple of things planned so I hope they work out. This Sunday I plan to decorate for St. Patrick's Day! I've got my stuff ready to go. I 'm also making some ornaments for my tree.
Last Saturday my Girl Scout troop participated in a great thing called Food From The Heart. Food donations with a theme!
There were "Breakfast Foods" boxes, "Movie Night" boxes, Italian, Mexican, & Chinese Food boxes and
more!
Our troop did a Mexican theme! We had everything in there from taco shells, to beans, tortillas, spices, cookbooks, chilli shaped salt & pepper shakers, taco shells, salsa & chips, sauces for cooking...ALOT!
I loved the "Movie" theme box because that troop put in some dvds, snacks, popcorn, and toppings for icecream! So creative.
Well I have a few things to do and a couple errands to go on with my husband so off I go. My husband is building a bagel store! He gets some cool projects. He's also working on another historical home! This one isn't haunted though! Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs to you all!
I hope your son does well...I'll keep him in my prayers. The Scout baskets are amazing. I've never heard of anything like this but it's a great idea. How nice to receive something so fun! Enjoy your weekend! Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have all earned some relaxation time home next week. What a fantastic idea for the scout baskets. How proud you must be. Valentine hugs!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the food from the heart idea! where do the baskets go now that they are all finished? I used to love winter break when my kids were home. we would go sledding and bake cookies and make barbie doll stuff and build ninja turtle forts or mini skateboard skate parks! lots of hot choc and wet snowy mittens! have a great week!
ReplyDeletehappy Valentines day!

You come up with the best ideas! When we go through tough times it makes us thankful for the mundane every day things, doesn't it? When I'm going through a difficult time I keep looking forward to a resolution and getting back to normal. Hope you find your normal soon too.
