Valentine's Day and etc.

Mark and I had a pretty low key Valentine's Day. We actually spent the evening sorting out our pop cans and pop bottles and took them all to the bottle depot. We then took our $33.15 and went to Tim Horton's for dinner (with Logan). How romantic!! Mark says once you're married Valentine's Day doesnt count anymore. (Although he did buy me flowers, which was a nice surprise as I honestly wasn't expecting them. Mark always rants and raves about how expensive flowers are on Valentine's Day and how he is going to wait until the week after to save money. But I guess this year he was feeling rich!) We got Logan a little stuffed puppy with a heart on its collar. He didn't really know what to do with it. I think stuffed animals is a girl thing.

Mark's cousins Cheri and Tracy are here this weekend from Phoenix to go skiing/snowboarding. They arrived on Friday, so all the cousins got together at Dan and Karen's for pizza and a game night. (I'm horrible at remembering to take pictures. I brought my camera along with good intentions, but it stayed in the diaper bag all night! Ahhh!) Saturday Logan and I went to the Wienses for a delicious brunch with everyone (sadly Mark was working). Mark's mom has a fisher price piano and Logan just had a BLAST banging on it. It was very noisey, but super cute!! (I actually went to Walmart today to see if I could find one for our house, but they didnt have one! So if anyone sees them anywhere, let me know!!)

Today Mark headed out to Lake Louise with his cousins to go snowboarding. Logan and I went to church and then over to Uncle John and Auntie Nancy's for coffee and wine time. We then came home and Logan and Duke played with their new toys. I couldn't find a piano for Logan at Walmart, but I did find drums!! Lately Logan loves anything that is loud and noisey. The louder it is, the better. He absolutely LOVES playing with these new drums!! (I am already feeling sorry for our poor neighbors... they have NO idea how noisey its going to be once Logan discovers the actual drums in our basement.) We had thrown away Duke's old rope (it got shredded while we were staying at my parents' house). At Walmart I found a gigantice, heavy duty rope, so now Duke is having a blast as well. He carries it around everywhere with him. (Right now he is sleeping in the hallway with his chin resting on it! How cute!!)
