Celebrate Love

We enjoy February 14 as an opportunity to celebrate love!!!!  Yesterday, Logan had his party at school.  It was mid-morning (not the most convenient time for a working mom), so I told him I wouldn't be able to go.  He replied with "then I don't want to go either."  So, I went.  I dropped him off at school at 7:30, went into work for a couple hours, went to the party and then back to work. I couldn't let my little love down.  He had SO much fun at his party and it was worth all the trouble when I walked in and he started to beam.  He won't always beam when I walk into a room, you know. 

They got all sugared up.  Every kid brought in some sugary treat. 

Jenny, who was in our wedding, makes amazing cookies.  She made cookies for our wedding reception.  Her daughter is in Logan's class and they made these beautiful and tasty cookies for the party.  And then I realized...Logan and Chloe will be in school together their whole lives...cha-Ching!  I'm hoping for these cookies at every party :) 

I was sent these beautiful flowers at work (from my boys, of course). 

Sleep is my love language.  I was so looking forward to a great night's sleep and then getting a massage this morning, having lunch and then taking a nap.  We got to bed later than usual last night (past 11, gasp!) and about 4:00 am, Logan started crying that his ear hurt.  We have had little-to-no problems with his ears since he got tubes two years ago.  Once your child has tubes, all you have to do is put in ear drops and that clears it up pretty quickly.  Easy enough, right?  Not since we moved.  Zeb spent a good while looking through our bathroom for the drops and I decided I needed to start looking through boxes. (No, I'm still not unpacked, don't judge.). Anyways, I was in the garage at 4:30 am looking for these drops to no avail.  I went upstairs to give Zeb and Logan the bad news.  Zeb decided to look downstairs and found a big container of expired medicine  that I will take to Walgreens whenever they have those drop-off days.  In it, were some expired ear drops.  Yes, we did.  Desperation for the win!  We used the expired drops and within about 1 minute, Logan said " I feel better!  I'm ready to get up now."  We replied with "it's the middle of the night!  Go back to sleep!!"  The moral of this story is that I should never feel bad about procrastinating (like not taking in that medicine), because OFTEN, it pays off in the end!!! 

Zeb had scheduled a massage for me today.  It was snowing and blowing really bad, so Zeb and Logan drove me to my massage and then we went out to lunch.  

When we got home, I took a very long nap. The boys did not. 

We had a really great day, even though it was a rough night.
