Today after school, Maggie and I had the following conversation:
Maggie: "Can we go to Grandma and Grandpa Hislop's house to hang out?"
Me: "Let's call Dad and see if we have anything going on."
Maggie: "I bet there is a ball game on for Dad and Grandpa to watch" (When is there not a ball game on to watch?!)
Maggie: "Can I make a cake for them?"
Me: "Sure."
Later, I heard Maggie and Cooper happily making a cake together for Grandma and Grandpa. (I love happy children sounds working together!)
After the cake was finished, I heard Maggie say, "Whoops!" She had tried to get it out of the bundt pan, but it didn't cooperate with her. Maggie also proclaimed, "well, it tastes great though."
This year Cooper made a robot for his talent. Maggie played "In Dreams" from Lord of the Rings on the piano. Allie sang "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain with Aunt Lucy playing the accompaniment. They all did well and it was an enjoyable morning. (I still don't like my camera. I think I will take it back.)

We gave the kids new shirts for Valentine's Day today. They all look quite cute in them. I also helped in all of their classes today. It was a fun day. 
We went to the stake square dance tonight. The girls really wanted to go, but the boys were very reluctant. I told Chris that it would be a fun family activity. We all really enjoyed ourselves "swinging our partners" and "do-si-do-ing." Cooper pouted for the first hour, but then ended up having fun break dancing during the line dances. The Virginia Reel was a lot of fun too.
