ungrateful kids

ST. Valentine comes every year knocks on the door and leaves presents. Well this year he got Madagascar 2. It being a little more expensive that and some M&M's were the only thing he brought. The kids get the door and the first thing that comes out of their mouths is. That's all. Last year we got more things. I was livid. Morgan was ready to cry because there wasn't more and all i wanted to do was take the present back and everything the kids own back. I usually take pictures but I had no desire too have that memory documented in a photo. So needless to say no picture with this post. Aden is getting really good at babysitting. So we were able to go to In-n-out with some good friends. In-n-Out you may ask, is not a very romantic place to go for valentines. However, it's colors are red and white and we had a gift card so we were able to go and do that (thanks, uncle bubby) After that our friends were very accommodating and came back to our house for Dessert. It was so nice and so fun.

The other day the kids were showing how far they could stretch sitting on the ground, with their legs in front and bending over touching their foreheads to the ground. Well Maryn tried it and not being able to do it she then laid flat on her belly and put her forehead on the ground. "See, I can do it!"

Aden said, "I've learned not to tell adults things." I said what do you mean. He said, "Well, I just know not to tell them things that I know that they don't know. I know to not tell them how things are supposed to be done."

So Adam didn't think he had to worry about his girls til later but no it has started already. A lady came up to me one day and said her son had a crush on morgan. No big deal she can't stand the kid. So I go to her school to help out in the class during the valentines party. I really go because Austin and Maryn walk away feeling like they had a valentines party too. Anyways, so there is this big valentine bag on this boys desk and someone asks "who's that for." I thought surely for the teacher. He said, It's for Morgan. I couldn't believe it. This kid bought her a card that said, How long will i love you on the inside is a hamster and it says furever. (not a typo) He also got her a large heart shaped box of chocolates that said you are special, and a soft pick stuffed dog. It was crazy. What are the parents thinking. The mom who was also there said yeah I've scrapbooked a page that says Ryan's firstgrade crush. AWWWWWWWW Adam is wigging out about it. Heck so am I.

Austin spins his arm around like it's not in the socket. So he's spinning it and says hey mom I'm going so fast you can't even see my arm can you. Can you see my arm. Nope I told you. Just so you know I could see it.

I have pictures from my kindergarten birthday party - my friend Keith had gotten me a box of Valentine's Candy with I love you written on the front - he'd crossed it out and it said "I like you"... apparently my parents found it comical at the time!

I know what you mean about kids not being grateful. I have taken things back many times because of the way they acted. It just makes my blood boil.

I can't believe what that boy got morgan. That is crazy. Tevin is girl crazy and I caught him on the phone at midnight last night talking to a girl. Needless to say he is grounded for 2 weeks now. Good luck with the crush thing.

I got chocolates and a stuffed thing in 4th grade. I'm just a late bloomer compared to Morgan, I guess.
unmagai: the process of realizing that genies really don't exist and that wish you made over your birthday candles is really just not coming true.
(unmagai is the verification word, I just thought I'd define it for you, I'm a teacher, what can I say?)

See that is the trouble with having such pretty kids. I'm sorry I blame you as parents. If you guys were just not so dang good looking you wouldn't have such problems. :D The St. Valentine stuff is so creative. I love it. I thought of starting it here but they are happy with a simple little $1 box of chocolates. I better not rock the boat.

I think that my kids would have enjoyed a movie for V day. It's a tradition that I make each of them and Leo a homemade valentine card, along with a candy bar. Hey, I'm frugal,what can I say? lol I won't tell them that there's a St.Valentine that drops stuff off...sshhhh! Thats cute! The mom of that boy must be way liberal. Goodness gracious don't kids become out of control on their own without us prodding them? LOL

Kollen, that is hysterical about the "crush"! These kids start way to young!

The part about In-N-Out was too funny. We actually stopped by there on Valentine's evening for some fries (part of a longer date) and we saw no less than 3 couples there from our ward. So it WAS the happenin' spot for Valentine's day!!
