I hope that everyone had a good Valentine’s day. Mine was pretty decent. It started off with everyone getting up a little bit late because of our fun night out last night. Allison picked up great cards for the kids and for me. They also got some candy from Allison and from me.
Andrew had a Valentine’s Day party at school. Last week when he was sick we decorated a shoebox. The second grade has everyone decorate a shoebox and fill it with a snack, a juice box and a piece of fruit. Then the kids get their valentines from everyone and they use the box to bring them all home. Andrew was very proud of the box that he made. He added some extra touches to it after we covered it in paper. The kid has a big heart.
As we hit the last day of the year for 2019 I look back at taking photos every day once again. I had done this for 14 years and then missed a day. I stopped for almost half a year and then decided to start back up again. This has been my 2.0 version of the project and here I am at the end of a year and for some reason my numbering is showing 364 and not 365. My photo folder on Google photos also shows 364 for the 2019 Photo-A-Day album. I have a feeling that there is was some point in the numbering where I messed up. So I’ll have to go back and try and fix. Sometime this year.
* UPDATE * – I found it, it was only a few days ago. So I didn’t have to change much.
Today we visited with friends and celebrated the holiday early. We were home before 10pm so the kids could get sleep. Allison and I got to bed before midnight, too. That was fine with me. Whether or not we saw the ball drop didn’t matter since there would be a whole new year come the morning.
Allison made Buffalo Chicken Meatballs for the party and they were very good, everyone enjoyed them. We also brought over some cookies and we enjoyed many wonderful things to eat including empanadas. It was just good to spend time with friends. The kids enjoyed playing with the other kids and Eva had lots to talk about with fellow fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. Andrew got to run around with the boys and eat lots of fun things.
