It's not my fault I live in California and the weather was in the low - mid 70s this weekend. /disclaimer

So, on Saturday morning, DH was at work and the kids and I didn't know what to do. We decided on having a picnic in the park, followed by some soccer and tossing the football around. We went to Wal-Mart first to buy two new soccer balls. I guess that makes much more sense than buying a pump and reviving the existing soccer balls we keep in the backyard. They each picked a new one, and off we went. Then we hit Bel Air (grocery store) to get picnic-ish type food. Strawberries, blackberries and lunchables (gag).

Have you ever felt so happy about doing something that you foolishly believe for a moment that you are about 10 years younger and about 25lbs lighter? That was me. I got my butt kicked (not by the kids, just by playing too hard). DS *did* say he was surprised I had "such a strong arm", lol! After playing at the park, we met my dad on the nature trail and then went to another park, where we played a little more. By the end of the day, I'm pretty sure I was limping. It felt good though. That night I went to dinner with my cousin. I didn't get home until after 10pm, so it was a long day.

Sunday was pretty uneventful, I guess. Beautiful out, though! Went to a chinese place called Panda Buffet. Totally not my thing. I won't go back. And that's after buying for myself, my brother and our children (four total) and it costing $54! Expensive lesson. Oh well.

So backtracking a bit; on Thursday I got a special package in the mail. *smile* It had a beautiful giftbag full of goodies from Bath and Body works. I? Now smell like a Red Hot (the candy) but with a slightly sweeter, softer smell mixed in. And my lips are tasty too! *red hot smooch*

I must be the luckiest girl on earth to have a Valentine like her! *besa to my Valentine*

p.s. I have not switched to new blogger yet. I fear I will lose my current blog layout. :(
