Friday the 13th we had classroom Valentine's parties at school. Clay had his preschool party in the morning at 10am and Caleb and Levi had their parties at 2pm. Since I'm the room mother for Levi's class I usually end up staying for most of his party and just try to pop into Caleb's room to say "Hi" if I get a chance. I happened to pop in at just the right time for this party. You can see the big smile on Caleb's face - it's because he knows he's going to win the "Who Can Draw the Best Heart While Blindfolded" game. It doesn't matter what game it is, Caleb plays to win ! 
We all had fun at the parties and the boys came home with tons of candy. With careful rationing, I think we can make it till Easter.
On Saturday, we ate breakfast and gave the boys their Valentine's from me and Daddy. They each got a box of chocolates and we got them the movie Madagascar 2. Caleb and Clay were both jumping up and down and Caleb nearly tackled me when he came to thank me for the movie. Levi, being the grown up 10 year old that he is, was too cool to act all excited but I think he was pretty happy too.
Levi played basketball games at 11am and 1pm. They were both very close (we lost by 2 and then by 4) and Levi did a great job. He made 6 points and got a lot of rebounds. (Side note: Levi was a little disappointed when he saw Caleb's basketball pictures on the blog and not his. I tried to tell him that it is very hard to coach and take pictures at the same time, but after this surgery on Thursday, I think maybe I'll be able to watch and take pictures instead of coach this Saturday.) When we got home, all the guys went out and cut wood for a couple of hours.
That night, David and I went shopping (surprisingly, his idea) and he got a few shirts and pants for work. (I got some stuff too.) Then we went out to eat at a local Thai restaraunt. It was really nice because we didn't have to wait to be seated. A couple of other places we checked on had 2 hour waits ! David and I ordered the same thing, but they have a spicy rating from 1 (mildest) to 5 (hottest) and he ordered a 4 and I ordered a 2. David really enjoyed his, but I had a hard time eating mine because my lips were on fire. I told David we should move to Thailand and I could lose all kinds of weight ! The boys were home with our babysitter watching Madagascar 2 and she had them in bed before we got home. We had a great time together and marveled at how fast time flies when you're an adult. It's hard to believe we've been married almost 15 years.
On Sunday, we went to church and hurried home for a quick bite before Caleb's ball games. He won his first game twenty-something to zero and the second game they only won by 3. Caleb was very frustated during the first game because the opposing team's coach designated one boy to "stay on Caleb" the entire time. It didn't matter if the boy was on offense or defense he was guarding Caleb. And by guarding I mean flailing him with his arms and leaning on him wherever he went. Caleb finally had enough and gave him a quick, discreet elbow to the stomach after which he backed off just a little. It was a good experience for Caleb and I'm proud that he didn't explode and push the boy down. Overall, Caleb had a great time playing.
Sunday evening, Daddy went out and pushed Caleb and Clay on the swing. I did laundry and practiced a song on the piano and Levi worked on his Columbia project. Then we all ate supper and relaxed while watching America's Funniest Home Videos. It was a great weekend.
