On Monday, our day of presidents, I had to work. Now while I was a little bummed about this -- the good news came later on when I found out that I got to go home early -- especially because it was such a nice day out.
To celebrate -- I went with Stephanie, Alicia, and their out of town friends Micah and Rachel to the Pike Place Market -- it's so Seattle.
I did see one thing that I hadn't seen before -- the gum wall:

Now while mine and Stephanie's Valentine's plans weren't impressive by any means -- Her gift to me was really wonderful. She made me a Smart Cookie out of two of my favorite things: Ginger Molasses cookies (sooooo good!) and coconut ice cream (so gooood!). When they were put together they were pretty much the best thing ever -- I have pictures to prove it:

how do we feel about Chris Walla solo?

Simon was really frustrated for the first couple of rounds because he really wanted to win one of the slap bracelets I picked up from Archie McPhee's.
My dad has found his new post-retirement calling -- Bingo caller!
Overall, it was a pretty awesome night. We were going to have a prize for the kid that made it to midnight, but they all did. We were more tired than they. It was probably due to the massive amounts of candy that each of them ate.
