"If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love."
-Maya Angelou
This week the good folks over at SpaceX launched a rocket into the sky and the kids were on-hand to watch as it took off. It was exciting to watch their reactions. It started with bouncing up and down on the couch as the pre-launch process occurred followed by awe and wonder as the flames came and the rocket flew. I love it.
Valentine’s Day is a run day for the kids because it means candy. It also means dressing them up in red hearts and making them pose for pictures. Luckily they are so used to getting their picture taken thanks to this blog that it wasn’t a problem.
Spring is close and it was time to plant the first of the seeds in the garden this weekend. We learned a few things from the activity. First, James is very dangerous with gardening tools. Second, both the kids are willing to eat chives picked from the garden, say they like them, spit them out while running back and forth saying “yuck”, and then go back to eating chives again. I have no words to explain this behavior.
It was sleepover time at Nina and Papa’s for the kids on Saturday and they were all very upset when it was time to get in the van (those are smiles of sadness at leaving Mommy and Daddy for the evening). From what I hear they were able to get over their initial feelings of loss and have a good time. It will come as no surprise to learn that Ashlyn’s favorite part was the toy castle and James’ was the trains.
