Amelia had Friday and will enjoy Monday off from school. Each year we visit Justin on Valentine's Day and shower him with treats and such. We decided to visit the day after since Amelia was not in school. The logistics worked out better. When we walked into the lobby Phillip raised his arms and waved salutation to a group of ladies standing at the balcony. He shouted, "Welcome home!" The kids get so excited to visit Justin at work. Everett used the cubicle aisles like a plane runway, running races and taking off on tangents. Phillip handed out high fives and knuckles. Amelia talked with the ladies telling them about school. We converged into Justin's office where Phillip commandeered Justin's office chair, picked up the phone, and punched sums into the 10 key. He looked quite at home! The kids were excited to leave with a strip of calculator paper and a name label stuck to their clothes. We had lunch at Pizza Hut. Yum!

Yesterday I finally reached my saturation level for tolerance of our dirty van. The boys do quite a sticky, messy number on my poor van. It took me three hours to scrub, wipe, vacuum, and clean the carpets. It is tolerable once again...for a couple days. I cannot believe how quickly it gets gummed up. Makes cleaning feel like a full-time, never-ending chore. If I clean the basement the upstairs is a disaster. If I clean the kitchen the bathroom and living room are a disaster. Guess those kids are busy making messes and memories. I made sushi for dinner. It was delish!! We had a vegetable roll, Alaska roll, and crab/tiger sauce roll. Now that we have supplies for sushi we will enjoy it more often. Hooray.
