Valentine's Day and A Field Trip

Valentine's Day . . . I used to like it. Then I started teaching. I'm now convinced that it's a holiday created to torture teachers.

We typically don't make a big deal about Valentine's Day at our house. Cards are the typical "modus operandi" for Patrick and myself. Andrew got a card, a new coloring book, some markers (momentary lapse of judgment on my part), and stickers. Pictures? I have none. Thursday night the three of us went to Outback for dinner. I'm not a huge "date" night person. We get away for a few hours here and there, but typically where we go, Andrew goes.

Yesterday, Andrew had a field trip to Sesame Street Live and Chuck E. Cheese. You should know that I deprive my child of places like Chuck E. Cheese. Those places are crawling with germs. My OCD self just can't take it, but he loved it.

I took my camera. I had high aspirations of getting tons of pictures of Andrew and all his little friends because he really has the cutest friends. I got six pictures and they're all pre-show. I'm officially a photography failure.  ;)


The bus . . . I wasn't going to let Andrew ride the bus. They're death traps in my opinion. But everyone was riding the bus. So I sucked it up, prayed a lot, and let him ride. He. Loved. It.


Andrew and Saylor . . . Saylor's mom and I taught together and are good friends. Saylor and Andrew have been in school together since they were little, and that's not going to change anytime soon. They'll be like brother and sister by the time they're in high school. I figure, they can watch out for each other most of the time and fight when they're not doing that.





Andrew and Landan . . . It took them forever to get in position for this picture. It was ridiculous how hard it was to get a picture of them together.


Waiting for the show. Munching on popcorn.

I should've taken some pictures of Andrew's dance moves, but no still photo can capture the magnificence that is Andrew's dancing. 

And that's the extent of my photography. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you about our furniture shopping fiasco. It'll take a while. Until then, enjoy your weekend.
