Oh my! Where has the last month gone? I had such good intentions of blogging, and I just never got around to it. It isn't for lack of material. I could tell you about Caitlyn's quest to find Big Foot or her yanking out her two front teeth, Conner making All-District Choir and starting baseball, Chad's dominance in Minute-to-Win-it with pantyhose on his head, or my experiences at our church's Girl's Lock-In which reminded me I'm getting old! However, the one thing that I feel most compelled to share about is my awesome Valentine's gift!
Chad and I decided many years ago that we weren't going to go overboard and spend a bunch of money on gifts, but we still wanted to do something. To hold ourselves accountable, we decided on a $5 gift limit. It has been so much fun to try to be thrifty and thoughtful at the same time. I have to admit that he does a much better job with this then I do, and this year topped them all!
It is a jar with 52 different experiences. I get to draw one a week to enjoy! The first week was a date to a movie theater that we hadn't been to before, and it was fun! The next week was dinner prepared by Chad EVERY night! That was such a treat! Then it was making a pinata. We got a late start on this one and started it last night. It is quite the process.
This week is feeding the ducks together as a family. I am really enjoying all of his wonderful ideas. The kids love seeing my draw and are excited to discover what the paper says!
On a side note, I went to lunch Friday with my team which I always look forward to. The place we went had this sign, and I thought it was so funny!
Have a marvelous Monday! Spring Break starts today! Woo hoo!
