February 14-20, 2021

The highlight of the week was Valentine’s Day. It was school vacation week and for the first time in 19 years we did not travel. We slept in, played lots of video games, did a puzzle, made crepes, introduced Ally to war movies and it felt like vacation. We miss travel but still don’t feel comfortable traveling yet so we will continue to stay home. 

We usually do something special for Valentine’s Day but this year we decided to a little more. And we got a few deliveries of flowers! Lucky us.

Heart shaped mini waffles!

Ally got a cat pouch hoodie!





Ally LOVES it

I got a really lovely card and Becky made me heart placemats! 

My favorite was the note from Ally:

Lots of fun goodies for Ally; a ring holder, a new ring, some squishy balls and a few other calming items.




A matching face mask and scrunchie.

We started watching war movies! 

Ally loved Hacksaw Ridge and begged for a second movie so we watched Black Hawk Down.

It was a school vacation week and Ally enjoyed lazy mornings every day.

We made crepes for lunch one day! A first for all of us.



Becky had a little trouble.

So I took over cooking duties



Ally was excited



And really liked it.

Becky ate several.

We did a heart puzzle in honor of Valentine’s Day.

On Thursday we ran some errands while our house cleaners came. We took Cloey to the groomers for a bath and nail trim, got COVID tests at the drive thru location, made a quick stop into Best Buy for some new PS5 games, and got ice cream. We came

home a few hours later to a freezing cold house (we open all the windows to air out the house and reduce the possibility of COVID) and a very clean house.
