But this weekend was full of fun for the whole family, starting with Valentine's Day! Before the actual holiday, the boys and I made some fun heart decorations. Sometimes crafting doesn't have to be super fancy, just spending time with those you love.
On Valentine's Day we set up a trail of hershey kisses for the boys to follow to a few little gifts. I should've expected this, but instead of following the trail they just plopped down and started eating them all! The candy they consumed plus the heart shaped pancakes I made for breakfast certainly added a little 'pep' to our morning! Cade had a party at school and all in all it was a fun little day.
Friday Dan and I got a babysitter and took a much needed date. It had been awhile. I made all the plans and surprised him by agreeing to get a pedicure with him. He loves them, and I never wanted anyone to touch my feet, so it was a fun event together. That plus Thai food and Dairy Queen = an awesome night.
Saturday we double dated with our good friends and took them to a Korean restaurant. It's so fun sharing something we've come to love with other people, and they loved it too! It was also fun just chatting and laughing with them while our kids all had fun together at home. Score!
But the fun wasn't over. After leading the ward choir on Sunday the kids and I headed up to Denver for a visit with Uncle Kevin and Grandma Kathy! Cade had Monday off for President's Day so we had to take advantage of having family close.
The weather on Sunday was in the 60s so we headed to the park to feed the ducks and run around. (It's snowing right now, so I wish it were Sunday again!)
We even barbecued for dinner, it was that nice out!
Monday we all went to the Butterfly Pavillion that is in Westminster, CO. This place is really fun if your kids love live bugs and fish, which mine do! You can hold a tarantula, touch starfish, horshoe crabs, and then walk through the humid butterly room where hundreds of butterflies are all around you. If you're still enough they may even land on you!

After the Butterfly pavillion we got lunch at Cici's Pizza and then headed to the Brass Armadillo, an awesome antique store. The boys were less than thrilled about it, but it's not always about the kiddos, right? We said our goodbyes and then just 'had' to stop at IKEA on the way home. Sweet!
What a weekend. I need another...
