February 14, 2026- Saturday

 Today was Valentines day but since we celebrated yesterday I didn't really realize that it was. Alden and Michael left early to go to the robotics competition. Benson and Evan made the sheet pancake when they did wake up and right after we had that we hurried outside to do some yard work. We only got about 30 minutes of work in before it started raining and in about an hour it was pouring down so we went back inside. We did get a few more things planted so that was good.

Inside I got a lot of little things done...like laundry, basic cleaning I hadn't gotten to, putting things away from our trip that hadn't quite gotten put away yet. It was a nice and good day. In the early afternoon I went to the grocery store and then in the afternoon we went and did art and then to lowes where we picked up a number of bags of dirt. It was a low key day, I even took a nap in the middle, it was a day that I felt like I needed. It was  nice day after a full week.

I remembered to get a picture of the flowers Michael gave me.
