Valentine's Day weekend

Champ chose to have a movie/game night at home on Friday night rather than go to the high school basketball game.

On Saturday, we did a lot of errands...bank, Aldi, Meijer, gas, school, grandma, beauty brands, etc.  my sweet friend, Lori, came to champs basketball game.  We saw him make 10 points, his season high.  Then we worked out together with Lori.  I was impressed that Champ completed close to a mile on top of his game.  We finished the night with games and a movie.  We were really into playing spoons this weekend.

This morning champ kept his word and made us breakfast.  He came up with the great idea of a heart drawn out of honey on bread.  I, of course, had to help open the honey.  They loved their gifts.  Princess opened the card first and then opened Lego Friends.  Champ opened his Lego gift first before reading his card.

I announced that I was also making a "love potion" for breakfast.  They went to the play room to put together an old Lego set so they didn't see the secret ingredients in my love potion.  After drinking the potion, the kids fell in love with their mom.

I helped in Champs room at church.  Then I watched the sermon online.  We cleaned the house for money.  Champ shoveled the snow from the driveway for money...twice.  He was not a fan of the snow.  Today I spent a lot of time reading The Total Money Makeover.  I totally agree with his idea that kids should work on commission rather than get allowance, which is what I've been doing with my kids.  I've also been training them as we go as to what a quality job looks like.  Today they got paid too.  I divide the money up for them....Jesus money, bank, and spending.

I made fruit kabobs and cake for my small group.  However, once small group was canceled due to snow, we ate all the fruit kabobs ourselves.  Yummy!

I let the kids do extra tech time today, but I've also forced them to turn off electronics and play.  They put together their new Lego sets.  We played many games of spoons, plus we played a few games of Barbie uno.  I made fajitas in the crockpot.  We watched the  1973 version of Robin Hood tonight.  The kids also played Ballon Golf, which champ learned at after care.
