Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to my friends and family. Today was a great day just for the sure fact that it was a little warmer! That was a bonus since we have been having bone chilling weather and Jay took me and the girls out to dinner! That is always a plus.

Maylin had a party at her preschool. She made such a darling Valentine card box. She was so excited to go to school armed with her Valentines and her heart shaped brownies. When I picked her up the first thing she said was, "It was a great day, mom!" Awesome. I love to hear that. She was especially excited about the heart shaped straw a little boy in class gave her. She has a crush on him, most definately.

Later we went to the kids' school to do Alex's class party. It turned out well. I did a Valentine bingo game. I know, not very original, but the other games I came up with were already taken by the other mothers. The kids had fun doing all the activities. After the party, Alex told me he spent lunch in the principle's office. He now has to write an essay. Apparently, in art his Valentine picture was of a frog (soon to be some one's prince) with an arrow through his head and blood everywhere. Great. Just great. His essay is on the true meaning of Valentine's Day.

After school Kenzie ran up to a 12th grader and gave him a hug. I don't know who was more surprised: her, that she actually did it, the boy because he only knows her as Austin's little sister, or me because she was hugging an older boy! After that she claimed she couldn't breathe because he took her breath away......

Austin asked a girl in the hall to be his Valentine. He was sitting on the floor with a friend and she walked by. I have never even heard him speak about her before. She was cute though. He then went to the bathroom and made her a rose out of paper towel. Pretty creative I guess. He is currently at a movie with his friend Ryan. He took him to the movie for his b-day.

We are finishing up homework then we are going to have a family night on using clean words and uplifting language. The night will end with the best sugar cookies ever!

Happy Valentine's Night to you all. Hope your day was lovely!

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
