For St. Valentine's Day TJ surprised me by leaving work early, picking the kids up from school, taking them to the grocery store and buying all the fixings to make a delicious meal! I told him that was the perfect gift. He knows me well!
Tuna steak, asparagus, risotto, and crusty bread. He even made sure to bring home a super chocolaty chocolate cake. Again, he knows me well!
We all got out on the trampoline after dinner. I'm telling you jumping for a bit is a great workout! They LOVE it when I get on with them. Probably because I can do some serious double bouncing. They fly up in the air squealing!
I did something different this year. When they got home from school I had a St. Valentine Day Healthy Heart Challenge. They each got a sheet and had to see how many sit ups, push ups, squat jumps, jumping rope, and jumping jacks they could do in one minute. I laminated them, so they could write their score on them with a dry erase marker. It was super fun, and we all did it together. George wrote down something like 62 push ups in one minute...

Christi-
Love your idea about the heart healthy challenge. I write a weekly health column and going to tuck this idea way for next February :)
