Valentine's Day

I am a little late on posting this one..... its been busy.

Valentine's Day was not exactly something to look forward to given that Tory is 8000 miles away. But it actually turned out to be a fun day with the kids overall. Andrew's preschool class had a valentine's party on the 13th and he made a cute card, silly hat, and a craft box to bring home.

The base family center organized an outing for families with deployed spouses for the afternoon/evening. We went up to Build-A-Bear at the mall and each kid made a bear. It was fun for the kids, and despite a line of close to 100 kids at the store it went pretty smoothly. Andrew's bear has Spiderman PJs and a skateboard. Emily's has PJs with little ducks and "chicks rule" on them and has pink Crocs (keeping with her shoe obsession).
