What a fantastic week!

The kids were out of school all week, and I was even off for Mardi Gras. The sun finally peeked from the blanket of clouds we’ve had for what seems a month. And it’s beginning to warm up, finally.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. We all got a little treat this year. I think I even managed to get James a decent gift this year. I got him a watch. It has a titanium face and a resin strap. I like titanium for men. It’s manly.

The kids and I celebrated Mardi Gras by being first in line at the scrapbook store for their awesome sale. Go me! I got some new paper that I’m very excited about. Aren’t the snails the cutest?

Diva had another art class this week. She drew a wiener dog and a bowl of fruit. She’s loving it, and I couldn’t be prouder. She’s very shy, and she cried last time when I had to leave the room. This time she was still nervous, but she didn’t cry. Afterward, she told me her heart was beating out of her chest when I left, but she calmed down soon after. That’s my girl! I told her it would get easier.

Jumpshot finally finished his book – 15 minutes at a time. Next is the science project. And then track will start up soon. Boy, he keeps me so busy.

Manchild got a new treasure – a Lego Thomas the Train. I just checked on him, and he’s sleeping with it. His new phrase this week has been “In your faces!” I’m not sure which cartoon it’s from, but I’m sure that’s where he picked it up.

Have a great week!
