Today was Valentine's Day! It was a great day. Hayden had a Valentine Party at school which was a lot of fun. (You will just have to imagine how all the children looked in all their red, because Mommie forgot to take her camera to the party). Whew, Hayden got loaded up on sugar and had a wipeout on the way home. We took a nap together in the recliner (although Hayden was not tired at all) for over an hour and a half before basket ball practice. One could really tell that all the kids had been "sugared up" before practice. They were out of control. :-)
Coach did a great job keeping them halfway interested in basketball. During basketball practice, the kids learn a Bible verse and today they talked about loving Jesus and obeying him. When Coach asked the kids why we celebrated Valentine's Day, Hayden raised his hand (wouldn't Mrs. Parker be so proud?) and answered "Because we love each other and Jesus loves us and he wants us to share love with everyone" Wow, how proud do you think his Daddy and I were of that answer from our precious 6 year old. He just "gets it" so much (probably more than us most of the time). From basketball practice, we went to Gardner Memorial for a Sweetheart Banquet. (Again you will just have to imagine how beautiful fellowship hall was decorated and how great everyone looked in their Valentine red because I forgot the camera AGAIN) We loved the friendship and fellowship (not to mention the great food). Hayden got to play with his friend Drew and really liked that a lot. Here are a few photos from practice
