Happy Belated Valentine's Day

Hello all...Happy Valentine's Day (a little late). Hope you all had a day filled with lots of love and chocolate! The kiddies all had great valentine's day parties at school on Friday. They each came home from school with tons of treats from their friends. Macie, being in middle school, is much too cool to give traditional valentine's. She took some candy flowers to her friends. She came home with several "real" flowers from her friends. (One of whom happens to be a b-o-y! Shhh! I'm not supposed to tell! ;) She claims they are "just friends". They better be! I am not ready for that kind of drama in our lives. She is still my ONLY girl who does not care one bit what she wears or even if she remembered to brush her hair in the morning. Here are pics of her flowers from her "friends"....:)

Allie and I spent the morning at her friend Ashley's birthday party! Woo-Hoo...fun times!! Pics to come....then I took the big kids to spend their gift cards to Game Stop. They have been collecting these cards for birthdays and Christmas and boy have they been burning holes in their pockets! This is the troop before shopping....(Allie has not yet realized that she has no cards to shop with! Ha!

The spoils of war! Game Stop was packed! They had to really look for the games they wanted and then not put them down or they would be snatched up by other little vultures, umm...shoppers, from right under their noses.

Holley bought the new Super Mario Bros. , Scott decided on a MarioKart and wheel combo for the Wii and Ravin Rabbids for his DS, and Macie picked a (weird) Pokemon' game for her DS. Holley and Macie both have about $20 left but couldn't find any other games they wanted. Scott spent all of his (which is NO surprise!) Thanks Meme and Poppy, Aunt Perry, and Aunt Mary Austin for the gift cards.

Had to throw this in for your viewing pleasure....Allie has OBVIOUSLY realized that she was not going to get anything at Game Stop...Hee-Hee I'm sure there will be many years ahead of video games for her. She does have her own leapster that she loves so rest assured, she is NOT deprived!
