On Valentine's Day, I took the kids skiing by myself. We made it onto the lift and off the lift and down one run of High Meadow, then Jovie quit. She was sick this week, and I guess she wasn't totally better by Friday, so that was enough for her. We tried to gas her up with a cookie stop at the lodge, but she wasn't going to go up or down again, but Ikey wasn't ready to stop skiing.
Me: We can't leave Jovie alone here while we go ski.
Ikey: Can't we leave her with one of the people at this table?
Me: We don't know the people at this table, we can't just leave Jovie with a stranger.
Ikey: Can't Jovie introduce herself?
The scene ends with me carrying three pairs of skis toward the gondola and Ikey dragging on the snow while hanging onto my foot. Jovie was kind of cheerfully skipping along.
We'll try skiing again, but we'll make Jovie promise to do more than one run. I hope it works better next time.
Ikey is a shaggy dog and he needed a haircut. He brought a ship made of legos to show Mr. Stanley. Mr. Stanley makes model airplanes and he asked Ikey to make an airplane next time he comes to visit. Jovie found this cute heart-shaped leaf on the sidewalk in front of the barbershop.
We all went to school on Valentine's Day and the kids handed out cute Valentines that I designed and they cut, folded, signed, and stickered.
This is the sign Jovie came up with to decorate for Valentine's Day.
I think it's supposed to say LOVE, XOXO, HUGS, or KISS. SLUG is an unexpected Valentine's message. TB gave me a cool yard art item (I really do love those!), the kids gave me balloons, and we gave TB a big dark chocolate bar, plus cheese blintzes for breakfast and meatloaf for dinner.
