Valentine's Day and more

Axel is the most thoughtful child. As I posted last week we pain stakingly made 56 pieces of soap for his classmates, teachers and neighbor friends. At Target, Axel found this cookie mold that he picked out to give to daddy. I said he could pick anything out. He knew that a giant heart cookie is exactly what dad would appreciate the most and he was 100% correct. It only took us two days to eat the whole thing!

 Phoenix and I headed over to Axel's school party on Friday. I think she almost had more fun that him. She climbed up on the chairs and tables and played with their play kitchen.

 Axel was glad to see us because he knew he would FINALLY be able to pass out his Valentine's.
 He was more excited to pass out his soap then to receive all of his Valentine goodies from his friends. It was a long process to have all 20 something kids individually pass out each Valentine to each child. It took almost an hour. If I was restless, I can't imagine how the kids felt patiently waiting for their turn.
After school we went to Rishaan's house to give him his Valentine. Unfortunately, he was still at school so Nishka and Phoenix said hello for a bit and then we headed back home for some play time. 

 This kids had a blast drawing and painting. Or should I say Axel had a blast drawing and Phoenix had just as much fun pretending to do everything that brother did.
 Most of the time Phoenix played on the chairs and with the back door. She is already trying to open the door. She is not quite strong enough to turn the lock and not quite tall enough to open the latch. I am sure she will have it figured out as soon as she is tall and strong enough!
On Saturday morning the kids played the drums as they often do. They both love music and making noise!


 On Sunday, Axel helped make homemade orange juice. Our friends have a huge tree and keep giving us 20 oranges at a time!
 Yesterday evening we went to a classmate's birthday party. Axel had trouble warming up. It took almost an hour for him to play with his classmates. It just so happened he warmed up once the other Axel arrived. We asked him what was wrong and he said that he didn't have any friends there until Axel showed up. Funny that he goes to school with them three times per week and doesn't believe he is friends with most of them except a few select boys.
We have enjoyed a nice restful day today. Axel has the week off school so after my very short two day work week we are heading to Sacramento to see Auntie's new house and visit with her on Thursday and then a visit with Grandma Susan on Friday before heading home for a super action packed Saturday. Axel has his buddy Connor's birthday party Saturday morning and then the Monster truck show on Saturday night! check back soon for more Szolusha fun!
