Scattered Thoughts on Valentines Day 2013

The kids had a fun day.  It is Valentines Day and first thing this morning Andy got up and wanted to put together all of his cards for his classmates.  He was doing a great job and almost had them all done when I had to give some assistance so we could get them done in time for school.  He was very excited about it and seems to have had a great time exchanging valentines with his class.  He was also very kind and gave me two valentines cards and a big hug.  What a wonderful little boy.

Jack also had cards to sign this morning.  I ended up signing them for him.  He came upstairs with his puke bowl this morning and let me know he threw up in the night like it was no big deal.  I think he is the best puker ever - if there is such a thing.  I just know that I appreciate not having to get up in the middle of the night and deal with puke all over the bed.  He did have a few of those episodes back in the day but is very much in control of those things now.  So he sleeps with a bowl by his pillow - I don't care. 

Natty had a friend, McKenzie, come over after school today. They were working on some dish they called Turkish Delight. I have no idea what it is but they need it for a class tomorrow. Annie helped them with it and they will take it to school tomorrow. Anyhow, they hung out for a time after that. When McKenzie's mom came to pick her up she was teasing her a bit and asked if there was an orphan girl in the house. We got McKenzie and started gathering some things when Jack paused and said in all sincerity "I didn't know that there was an orphanage in Cedar City". He is such an innocent boy. We explained that there was not an orphanage in Cedar and that McKenzie's mom was just teasing her. He had a few additional questions about orphans and an orphanage but I think he understood at the end.

Well there are few scattered thoughts on Valentines Day 2013.  I am certainly grateful for my three valentines.  They are wonderful children and are my best friends.
