A different kind of Valentines this year

Anybody who knows me knows I LOVE Valentines Day!! LOVE IT!! I loved it when I was single and I love it married with baby(ies)! I always made Valentines for my friends with little goodies and wrote little notes to people reminding them how much I loved them. Now I do those things for my family.

Anyway, this year I'm VERY very pregnant and VERY very huge, which means I'm VERY very tired! Jim usually takes the day off, but this year he couldn't, which was a relief because I really didn't want to do anything this year. I didn't make Valentines for anyone and I didn't want any made for me. I just wanted to relax and not think about it this year... That's how tired I am.

Valentines Day shows up as scheduled and I realize I still want the day to be fun for Jackson, so he had a PINK bath, he decorated a couple valentines, and he wore a cute little shirt. I also had a couple ready made valentines, so I gave him one of those with some gummy Life Savers. He won't eat anything with sugar, but he loves any gummy candy. I started to get my old Valentines mood back as I did all these fun things with Jackson, so I made a lemon pie with a strawberry heart and chocolate covered strawberries. I even ordered a heart shaped pizza for dinner from Papa Murphy's. The pizza was delicious!

SO even though, I didn't go all out this year like I usually do, this was probably the best Valentines Day I've ever had.

It's baaaaaaaaaack... The Nuffer Family Summer Camp 2018

Man, it's been awhile. A long while.

The blog is baaaaaack! And so is the Nuffer Family Summer Camp!!!!!

The NFSC is going to be pretty different this year. The big boys need to be challenged so much more than a few crafts and story books like when I first started the summer camp many moons ago. With that said, I don't really know exactly what it will look like because I have to test the waters to see what interests them and what doesn't. My mom gave each of the boys a Little Passports membership, so we'll be using those in our weekly themes as well. I have a preschooler, a second grader, and a fifth grader- needless to say, it should be interesting. but no big deal, right?
Riiiiiiiiiight.

Every day they'll spend their mornings doing some chores, spending some time outside, reading independantly, doing a little work in grade-level appropriate workbooks, doing an NFSC activity or two, and I think I'm going to teach the older boys to write in cursive. Phew!

Brian and Whitney get married!

Our family has been waiting for this day for well over a year! My little brother, Brian, finally married Whitney a couple weeks ago. Such a wonderful weekend!
I mean, how cute are they?!

The first night was the rehearsal, of course, but I didn't get many pictures.
I do have a fun little story, though...
Jackson was the ring bearer, and Whitney wanted him to walk arm and arm with the flower girl, Delaney. But, he wouldn't do it. I thought maybe it was because he didn't know her before that night, but no, that's way too simple for Jackson. Jackson didn't want to walk down the aisle with Delaney because he thought if he walked down the (wedding) aisle with this stranger-girl, he'd be married to her! bahahahahahahahaha! That is hysterical!
Once we assured him that they would not be married if he walked arm and arm with this (super sweet) little girl, he was totally fine with it.
But look at their little faces. And their little fists. Hahahahaha! This is t…

A Whole Lot of Random...

You guys know that my children are crazy. And hilarious. And random.
So here's a bunch of random moments from the Nuffer Nest. Enjoy.
Sometimes, you just feel like Yoshi.

And sometimes, a tiny person steals my phone and takes 458 selfies that look just like this:

And sometimes, mom and grandma spend way too much time at Costco.

Other times, you smash your finger in a door and have to take a "quick" trip to urgent care. At least it wasn't broken.

And sometimes, life just gets hairy...

Other times, the Captain Underpants underwear you just got for your birthday has a cape, so you have to show it off by not wearing pants.

Sometimes, you're as cute as can be when you get a free apple at the grocery store.
(You guys, look at that little round belly- I just want to tickle and squeeze him!)

And sometimes, your brother helps you hang on when life gets tough.

Other times, they're there to give you a hug.

Sometimes, your future is so bright, you have to wear shades.
