Not a Happy Valentines

After a weekend of the flu, I still decided to throw my Valentine's party today. We only had five kids here but you would have thought we invited 30. I worked so hard all morning making cookies, cleaning, decorating the house (thanks mom for all the "stuff"). My neighbor and I had the cutest little craft, valentine stories to read, games to play, cookies to decorate, valentine boxes and cards. The house was decked out in hearts, lights, crafts, etc. I thought it would be so fun for them. I guess it was but just not in the way I had imagined.
Holy Smokes!!! Put a few boys together and it was seriously like a tornado in a trailor park. We managed to make it through the craft for the first ten minutes but it was history after that. We couldn't hold their attention for more than 2 seconds...literally. I should probably post a picture of us pulling our hair out instead. My boys have never been so out-of-control as they were today and that is saying a lot because others will tell you that they are always out of control. They didn't even pass out their own Valentines, we just threw them in the boxes for them as they were heading out the door.


Don't worry, haircuts are on the To Do List.
On a lighter note, we were going to a Squadron potluck last week and as we were getting the boys ready after their bath we heard Amelia in the bathroom. We found her here....
the girl loves bathtime.
A few more just for fun.
