Following our WiiU party, Hadley invited her friend Maeve for a sleepover and we headed over to a new playground the following morning. I’ll confess I’ve been watching its construction for the good part of a year and wasn’t 100 percent sure it was open yet. 
Regardless, it was totally worth it.
Then our weekend took a turn for the worse when the boys got really sick so H and I had a girl’s day out at church.
By Sunday afternoon, everyone was a bit stir-crazy. Bode has his 100th Day of School Party this week so we decided to make Valentine’s Day cookies for his project (take that you lame people who bring Goldfish crackers or buttons). We also made our Valentine’s Day cards for the grandparents. 
I had too much to do to be bothered with the Super Bowl but I encouraged the kids to watch with Jamie as he cheered for the 49ers. Before the game, my daughter made a prophetic statement.
H: “I’ll bet they won’t win.”
Me: “The Broncos aren’t playing this time.”
H: “Yeah, but I’ll bet whatever team Dad is cheering for loses.”
Mourning 49ers fans can blame her…and Jamie.
