Well the weather was so nice for a few days, so I knew right away what was coming next, the rain and the storms. I really dislike storms. I hated them when I was growing up and I was terrified of them. Fortunately, it's not the storm itself that terrifies me, it's the fear of home damage. I'm not sure why I'm so worried, we have homeowner's insurance, but it what it is....storms make me nervous. In any case, it's raining today. :)

This week we are working on our Valentine's Day gifts and our Valentine's Day Fold N Learn from Five in a Row. Last night the boys made valentines for our family members using a stamp we made from a potato. :) They turned out wonderfully. I wrote Happy Valentine's Day on the inside and Adisson will sign them for himself and Zander. Sure I could have had him write Happy Valentine's Day in all of them, but that would have meant that only one card would have been completed as he would have quickly grown bored with the project.

I've got goodies for my nephews and niece, well, for the most part. I still need to pick up something for the babies and I still don't have the boys' gifts. I don't give candy, because I hate candy. That's not necessarily true....the problem is that I love candy. And I have given birth to a child that can smell chocolate from about 3.9 miles away. So I don't give candy. I would love it if no one gave us candy, but telling that to the Grandma's is like telling the sun not to set.

I don't have a gift for Adam, but I told him that I just wanted to exchange cards. We don't need anything. :) I'm also hoping that we could have a dinner with my brothers and their girlfriends but the girls don't really care for each other and we don't have a babysitter for the boys. I wanted to watch Fireproof with them. I'd still like to get the book The Love Dare for one of my brothers. I sincerely doubt he would do it, but I guess it's worth the $9.00 if there's a chance he might follow through.

Ok, I have to get laundry done today as the house has to be clean before we leave for Ohio on Thursday or Friday.

Be back soon!
