if only...

6 hadn't dropped the damed digital camera on the floor, necessitating a 7 week trip to the repair shop,I might have had some very cute pics to post!

Valentines day is a HUGE event around here. The kids can't figure out why the whole family doesn't get together for a turkey dinner on such an auspicious occasion!

They went to school armed with boxes of specially chosen valentines and little goody bags for their friends. As is tradition, they had to wear special Valentines shirts they made. We have done a number of things in the past - a class picture ironed onto a t-shirt, their own computer clip-art creations...this year they decided to draw hearts and print each classmates name inside the heart. We used washable markers with the hope that oxyclean would remove the markers rendering the shirts white again...They both did a great job and were so proud of their work - I would have liked to take a picture before the end of the day. By bedtime last night, both shirts looked watercoloured, letters bleeding into puddles of muddy colour. 4 drooled all over hers - she's not usually given to drool, but I suppose the anticipation of all those heart-shaped chocolate goodies made her salivate; and a rat peed all over the front of 6!

Ah well, they both had good days. We're a few steps ahead of last week!
