Weekend in Review

When I got home from work on Friday afternoon, Mr. Man decided we should run to Dairy Queen with the kids. We ended up running into Lefty's teacher there and found out she has the same birthday as Lady Bug so we bought her ice cream in honor of her birthday too! That was fun!

Saturday morning Mr. Man woke up feeling a little blah. He said he had a headache and was just kindof yuck feeling. By the afternoon, Mr. Man was feverish, coughing and achy all over. He spent the rest of the day in bed. He woke me up about 1:30 Sunday morning burning up with fever and was shivering cold. Needless to say, he spent the remainder of the day Sunday in bed. He woke up this morning and decided he is still too sick to go to work! I haven't seen him this sick in a long time!

Today I am feeling achy and sort of run down.... I will not get sick. I will not get sick. I will not get sick!!!!!

Aside from all that..... the boys and I worked on their classroom valentine cards on Saturday afternoon. Plus we made some cute little gifts for the teachers. I haven't done Valentine gifts for the teachers before, but this year I like the teachers so much I decided to give them a little gift. Plus, I found cake mix at the grocery store for $0.88 a box. It was Betty Crocker Red Velvet cake mix (fitting for Valentine's day, don't ya think?) The cake mix also happens to be the "Support for Breast Cancer" box and so the whole box is pink (also fitting for Valentine's day!) The frosting was 3 for $4.00. Then I bought some M&M's and put a small amount in a plastic bag and tied it up with red and pink ribbon. I found a 4-pack of cute Valentine's Day dishrags for $3.00. We placed the items in a red gift bag with tissue paper. The boys made a card similar to this, only we didn't tape the candy to the back side and instead I typed up a little saying that the boys glued to the back and then signed their name. The saying was "School would be "ruff" without you! Happy Valentine's Day!"

Since Valentine's Day is on Thursday and I don't always have time to make breakfast I decided that yesterday I would make a special breakfast. I made french toast and bacon, and I used a cookie cutter and cut a heart out of the center of the french toast!

Yesterday, I also did some shopping because all of the kids need some pants, the boys especially. Why is that boys can only wear jeans once or twice before they get a hole in them? Why? Why? Why? Oh well. I try patches, but those don't seem to work either. I just spent $60 yesterday on pants and socks for the boys and then I found one pair of pants for Lady Bug that was on clearance for $4. Expensive weekend!!

I had a good weekend overall and my house is trashed because of it! :o)
