Yes Stan, we got your Valentine's wishes and THANK YOU!!

Well it is finally Saturday and man this week has just gone by so fast.
Last Saturday Heath and I went to the movies and saw Strange Wilderness, which had its moments but was almost ruined by the kids sitting behind us. I know this means I am definitely I am getting old but why would you spend the money to get in and buy popcorn/soda and then talk through the whole movie? I know I did not pay that much to have a bunch of kids sit and talk crap. What really made me mad was the kid behind me who had his feet on the back of the seat next to me (where my popcorn was) and dumped a whole bunch of dirt in my popcorn. When I looked to see that my popcorn was covered in dirt he just laughed. I so wanted to throw my popcorn at him but refrained, I was there to watch a movie with Heath which does not happen very often so I wasn't going to let them ruin it! So kids aside we had a good night and plan to do it more often, although not every weekend.
The kids had fun at school this week and both are doing well. Heather had some issues with her spelling so was grounded form her Nintendo DS for this entire week. Her attitude has also been getting worse so she also had to improve that. I met with her teacher on Tuesday and found that while she has failed the last two spelling tests she is doing exceptionally well at school. Her teacher was impressed because she was thrown into the middle of this lesson and is grasping everything. I can't wait for them to start the new lessons so she can be right with everyone else.
Hunter's teacher did not schedule a conference because she felt he was to new. he is doing well and brought home only good grades last week. This really did not set well with Heather because he could play the DS and she couldn't!
We have made a deal with Heather if she keeps doing well with school and her attitude improves (which it HAS gotten a lot better) she will be getting her own cell phone.
Last Saturday Heather and I had a mother daughter day and walked the malls. I got my hair dyed again and she got hers cut. It looks really cute on her!

Well I stopped there for a break and while I was on break we decided to go to the movies! The kids picked out The Spiderwick Chronicles. It was a very entertaining movie for adults and children both! The kids really enjoyed it and it even kept Hunter sitting quietly in his seat until the end when he got scared a couple of times! I learned that when you buy a soda there is no refills, you have to purchase an entirely new soda. Since the sodas we had originally purchased for the kids came in a combo deal I could not get new sodas in that size, unless I wanted to purchase another combo pack, and had to buy the next size up, a small. I ordered two thinking that it shouldn't cost that much. After the lady charged me SIX DOLLARS for two small sodas I about flipped! I asked why no refills and she told me that people will actually dig them out of the trash cans and get refills. I was not happy about the six dollars for the two small sodas...hmmm...does not seem right! Oh well the kids enjoyed it and it was a good movie but after the prices and the DISGUSTING bathrooms we might have to check out an different theater!
Well this time I will actually post this!

It was good to talk to both kids the other night, they have all kinds of stories and both sound like they are enjoying school. Concession stands at theatres have been historically high on their prices, but soon their day will be over. They to will be replaced with the internet. Hunter got excited when I told him that a new Star War movie was coming out soon. Currently, we are having a real old fashion blizzard, snow lightly with wind gusts up to 50 mph, 1/4 mile or less visibiity - we will never have spring. Not much happening in A.P., Snow Rondi is this next weekend.
