Valentine's

This year for Valentine's day, we did a few things.

I bought the boys cards and put Pokemon booster packs inside.  Both of them got an EX card in their pack, which was outstanding, and almost like I had planned it, if such a thing was even possible.  Even better, Connor got the exact card that he had wanted to order on Amazon but didn't because he had run out of money the last time we were buying things on the internets.

I bought Kevin a copy of the new Fall Out Boy CD and put that in his card.

And we went out to Red Lobster for our traditional Valentine's Day lobster fest, because there isn't a place in Amarillo where you can buy a live lobster, other than that.  I guess we are just too far away from the ocean, and there isn't much of a demand.  So we made it work.  And it was wonderful.

But the real big family Valentine gift was a membership to our local archery club.  Because Texas.

I never ever thought I would ever have a membership to an archery club, but now we do.  And so, I took the boys over to shoot a couple rounds this afternoon as a break in the middle of our homeschool today. The range is super close to our house.


So this is why we bought a membership.  Because it is so close, we can go over, spend half an hour and then go back home.  Maybe it was less of a break from homeschooling and more of the homeschool physical education for the day.
