Monday was Valentine's Day and the kids had such a fun day. Maddie had a party at school and came home with lots of treats and Turner partied it up at Ney Ney's and came home with stuff as well. I was a good mom and made treat bags for Maddie's class and she gave out valentine cards to all her friends and teachers. I was a bad mom and sent Turner to Ney Ney's with chocolates for her and nothing for the kids. They exchanged cards and Ney Ney put them on a placemat for the kiddo's to bring home. I felt Horrible!!! You better believe I will have my act together for next year:)
We had a few happys for the kids when they got home that afternoon. We gave them both sunglasses and a few items from the dollar aisle at Target. Maddie also got a Toy Story game and Turner got yet another cooking set. They also received cards in the mail from Mimi and Boo Boo that had some "dollars" in it and the kids racing to their piggy banks. Fun Stuff!
Kevin and I have had so many bills unexpectedly come up that we didn't do anything for each other this year. Loving on our kiddo's is good enough for us and there is always next year, right? I want to mention an unexpected gift we received last week from Nonna and Da. They came to Turner's party and left us with a thousand dollars!!!!! We have been spending quite a bit of money at the doctor lately and that money was a God send-literally. We put it up and thought all week (or I did atleast) on what we were going to do with it. I am dying to pull up the carpet in our house and put down wood floors. We have some credit card debt that needs to be paid off, the list is endless on what we could have done with it. Thursday afternoon, Kevin gets a flat tire. He goes and gets if plugged up. That night it is flat again.....we have been told several times that it won't be long and his tires will have to be replaced. Can you guess where the money went? Almost $800 later, Kev's truck has 4 new tires. That money was a blessing, and though there are a million things I WANTED to use it for, it was used on something we NEEDED. Thank you Nonna and Da for your generosity and getting us through what would have been difficult otherwise. God met our needs again-he is so faithful and I am so grateful!!!!
