We had Groovers 2.0 in February. Last year we had 3 Groover children spend a few days with us, and this year we had just 2 Groovers for 5 days. So, Philip & Simeon got a roommate and the girls did also. It was great! We had so much fun together. On their first night here, all the girls and I attended a baby shower for my dear friend, Christin. Less than 2 weeks later she rapidly delivered their beautiful baby girl.
The next day we had Blizzards for a treat because...they're yummy (and we had coupons).
While the Groovers were with us, Valentine's Day rolled around and I remembered that I told my sister that her 3 children could spend the night so that she could attend class and my brother-in-law could work. So, that made...hmmm...9 children. At that point, Kevin told me that he felt like the Duggar family because every time he came home, there were more and more children in the house. But that was fun too. We had a nice Valentine's dinner together and everyone slept soundly!
We had fun heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast.
The Groover's parents surprised them with a pre-planned Valentine's token. Let it be known that Patience very conservatively saved her entire bar of chocolate for some future date!

The "girls' table" for our Valentine's dinner. They are enjoying chocolate-covered strawberries along with brownies and ice cream. My amazing mother came and made the strawberries in the afternoon (with the boys as her helpers!)
