A Night Out!!!

Wow, is it really February already? My kids at school were excited to celebrate the 100th day of school on Tuesday. It's a pretty big day in kindergarten! It was also Groundhog's Day on Tuesday, and Zane made a mask at school. He puts it on and Mason just laughs and laughs! Tonight he had it on and when Matt asked him what the mask was, he said "it's a brown hog." This weekend I realized I didn't do a great job taking pictures so am posting photos from Jo.

Every year, Jo opens up on a Saturday evening in February so the parents can have a date night! It was this Saturday night and we were very excited to be able to have a conversation without being interrupted! We dropped the boys off, then headed to the movie theatre. We wanted to see Avatar. It was the first movie I had ever seen in 3-D. You should have seen us in our glasses...we were cute! The movie was long, so we really didn't have time to do anything else, so we picked up the boys and drove through Sonic for supper.

Today we went to church and the boys went downstairs again. Right now, Zane is working on his Sunday School homework. He told us he was doing his "God" work. He had a watch on that he found in my jewelry box, and when I picked him up at Sunday School, he said "Mom, I left this 'timer' on so that I would know when you were done with church."

Friday is Zane's Valentine's Day party at school, so the task of making a Valentine's Box is upon us. Zane decided he wants a race car box, so he and Dad got to work right away. Here they are working on it:

Get it all covered!

I tell ya, we're going to show up with this thing and everyone will say "you can tell the parents made that one!" Matt takes a lot of pride in Zane's school projects!

Have a good week and stay warm...the forecast doesn't sound too good!!!

Oh yeah...I've been seeing previews on t.v. for the movie "The Crazies" that was filmed in our hometown in Iowa. I even saw one during the Super Bowl! It's strange to see that, knowing it was filmed where I grew up. The movie comes out February 26th...we'll definitely have to get a sitter to see that one!
