Pending :)

On Monday night, I have to make Valentine cupcakes for Shane's class party, Little Smokies in BBQ sauce for Zach's class party, and . . . I haven't decided what I'm going to make for Alex's class party.

I want to do something special for Dave on Valentine's Day . . . so I'm thinking about making him a special heart-shaped cheesecake!  If Michelle will please send me her cheesecake recipe!

Friday night Alex will be in our school's Beauty and Beau pageant so I want to fix something easy in the crockpot (because we will be at the pageant) and special (because Alex is so special to me) for supper that night.  We could eat out after the pageant, but the past two years we have gone out to eat after the pageant, and it has been soooo busy at all the restaurants in town!  So not worth that hassle!  So I'm making something special for supper and ending it with ice cream sundaes! 

I'm behind in posting our Valentine Countdown activities.  Mostly because we've been so busy here at the farm!  I'll try to catch up on those posts in the next couple of days.  We've had a lot of fun together . . . although I did get behind on the activities!  Zach and Alex are insisting that I make up any activity we missed so we'll be doing fun stuff together even after Valentine's Day is over!

Hope y'all are having a great weekend and have a fun week planned!  I know we do!

Happy Valentine's Day from

                       the Ferrell boys and me!
