Happy Valentines Day! (part 1)
We woke up to a VERY rainy Valentines Day! I got to "help" in Lauren's class. They did a very cute flower pot project. Then I got to "help" in Kaycee's classroom. They did several rotations. I say "help" because Matthew decided he only wanted Mom today and wouldn't go to his play group, so I got to run into the girls' classrooms, take a few pictures, give a few hugs and head home.
Flu Shot VS. Flu
To all the bloggers out there, I am so curious. Did you get the flu shot this year? If so, did you get the flu? I'm wondering if we had the shot this year if we would have avoided our last week of illness!

How do you spell relief?
Our family got hit HARD this last week with a flu/virus. Sydney started it out a week ago today with a fever, headache and sleeping most of the day. Lauren got it Wednesday, Kaycee Thursday and Matthew has had a mild case of it over the weekend. The kids have all gotten a really high fever (Kaycee and Lauren hit 103) and it has wiped them out. It lasted about 4 days for most of them. I thought I would escape, but it got me yesterday! Oh the pain! Now I know why the kids have been crying all week! It's like a bad headache combined with sinus pressure and a tooth ache all rolled into one. I couldn't get up for most of the day. My fever (which hit 101.7) finally broke last night. Today I feel very groggy and tired, but thankfully not achy anymore. I'm so glad there is no school today!
So, after 7 full days of this thing I hope we are finally all done! Gary has been the last hold out. I hope he doesn't get it! He had to take over yesterday for me and do everything!

Our weekend
We have had a busy couple of days!
Friday was the 2nd grade field trip to Legoland! It was canceled earlier in the year due to rain, and we were all so happy that it was not raining on Friday! I decided to stay home this year, but volunteered to watch all the younger siblings of those Mom's going on the field trip. So, I ended up picking up FIVE kindergartners on Friday afternoon! They were all girls and we had a fun Legoland party at our house. We made a fort, made valentines and of course had a lot of snacks!
On Saturday Gary took Sydney to her friends baptism, and then out for a date. I watched our neighbors and Lauren was invited to another birthday party. Guess what they did? Went and got their toes and nails done! She loved it!
Sunday it poured all day. Lauren woke up not feeling well and this morning Sydney woke up not feeling well. Great, time for another round of colds and flu!
I realized Friday night that I didn't take one single picture of Kaycee and all her friends! Gotta get better at that!
One last thing before this post gets too long--
Yesterday in Senior Primary, Sister Eisenhut left some time at the end of sharing time for the kids to come and talk about or bear their testimony of President Hinckley. I can not say how impressed I am with these kids. Several got up and they bore the sweetest testimony's of the Gospel and of their love for the Prophet. One got up and shared President Hinckley's favorite scripture,which I didn't even know. These truly are the strongest spirits saved for this time. The spirit was so strong in that room! I was so grateful that I was able to be there and share in that.

Love
Last night the kids and I were talking about what we have learned from President Hinckley. The 9 B',s the importance of Temples to name a few. But I think the thing I will always think of is love. I always felt his love for everyone every time he spoke. I always felt that he loved unconditionally, much as the Savior must have when he was on the Earth. We will miss him, but know that he is finally home with his family and dear wife.
