A beautiful thing about the move to San Antonio has been the wonderful community of fellow homeschoolers! Not only does this group provide additional educational opportunities for our family but also a chance to have some great fellowship time with other sweet homeschoolers.
As part of joining the group, each family is responsible to “sign up” for a committee. Being that we just had a baby and moved across TX, I decided last fall to sign up for a seemingly easy/harmless event:
The Valentine’s Party. Sadly, my plans for "easy" were foiled when I discovered that over 125 kids had RSVP’d and we needed to coordinate an activity, decorations, snacks, a craft and a Valentine’s exchange!
Multiple trips to Wal-Mart & the Party Store, an order to Oriental Trading Co., a crazy number of phone calls and 4 dozen homemade cupcakes later….my commitment was complete & we were off and celebrating Valentine’s Day in style!

Let me see if I understand.....you've got 4 little girls 6 and under...who you homeschool...while your husband is super busy being a doctor. And you thought you were going to pick something simple and easy. Really? Is that in keeping with who you are?! : ) tehe
ReplyDeleteIt's all so worth it though, right!
