For V-day the kids got heart socks and heart peeps.
Sarah, of course, laid out her V-day outfit long in advance.
Every holiday we microwave peeps. One minute just about does it.
While hot we dig in with a fork and stretch like this.
It instantly cools and crystallizes into a spindly airy crunch. Delish! Surprisingly they even taste a thousand times better this way. The ONLY way to eat a peep. The kids laugh as the Peeps quintuple in size and love to stretch and play with them as they cool. The texture change is a trip!
At the pizza place downtown on our way to feed ducks and rock the Laser Quest world.

Laser Quest is my new favorite cold weather tradition. Even Ava and Alyssa TOTALLY got it and were hiding behind corners and hunting people down. No fear.
My Charlie's Angels!
Out of 28 people in our game, Ava came in 24th! What? She beat 4 people?! I wore the target harness thing and she carried the gun.
He may look innocent in this picture, but Chad came in 4th and even beat Russ who was 6th. That was a shocker!We came home giddy and happy and laughed the whole way home. I love un-bored kids!
At the packed stake family skate night Tues., I totally won the 12 and up ladies speed skate and rocked the backwards skate! I also did a lot of jumping forwards and backwards, pirouetted, and raced the roller hockey boys. I may not sew or be a fabulous chef, but thank goodness I can roller blade, eh? It's been 13 years or so since I've last skated and I had the time of my life.

Leah! I have missed you in blog land! Ok, you KNOW I have no self control, so, I am up at 3:00 a.m. watching stupid reality steve (or whatever his name is) on his blog... I HATE surprises!!!! So, I had to watch.. I have no self control. I love that you don't either! Have any plans to move to PHX? B/c I totally missed out with having you in Spokane! I think we could have been besties!:)
First of all, regarding Lindsey's comment, I think moving to PHX would be a fantastic idea ;)!!!
I love, love, love Ava's excited face in that first picture. It seems like such genuine glee exploding on her face! What fun Valentine's Day stuff to do! I cracked up over Ava getting 24th out of 28! Those little girls with their big guns are so funny. Gosh I wish we lived closer. You all have so much fun. You are so talented in so many amazing ways, Leah! I wish I could have seen you skating!
Very cute kids with their valentines...and I hate peeps! But I just might try your method.
Okay so you ROLLERBLADE!!!!! I do to! But I don't have a partner she moved a year ago and so I go by myself! You have to go with me sometime. I have a great route. I really want to go on the Centenial Trail this summer...let me know if you want to go.
