Well the Valentine's Party was a hit! It almost didn't happen though. Preston got black at school, so I was very upset with him. He had to work very hard to make up for it at home. The plan was for Dean to get home - take Preston to basketball practice, pick up Emily, go get our dinner (I wanted dinner at Cracker Barrel - and since we don't get to go out with the kids due to their behavior, we did curbside to go), then come home. That was going to give me plenty of time to get the party ready. But, Preston's attitude at school changed everything. When Dean got home, Preston was still doing the tasks I gave him to make up for getting black at school. So, he didn't finish in enough time to go to basketball. Then, he still wasn't done when it was time to go get Emily. So Dean left to get Emily then came back home with her. Preston finally finished, so Dean took both of them with him to Cracker Barrel. So instead of the 2 hours to get ready like I was initially going to get, I had 40 mins. Needless to say, I had to scramble and work like crazy to get done. Good thing I had already cooked the cupcakes earlier in the day. I still had to bake the cookies, ice the cupcakes, decorate and lay out the kids suprises. I had just finished everything when I heard the garage door open. So, I knew they were home and the kids would be coming through the door any second. The looks on their faces were so cute. Emily said, "Thank you Momma!" Preston said, "Valentine's Day Rocks!" Jacob didn't really care of coarse. He played with the stuffed animals he got a little bit, but preferred his snacks. Definately Deans kid, loves him some snacks - ha ha!
