Happy Valentine's Day

It's been raining and raining these days and I don't particularly feel like pink hearts, but we had a good Valentine's day.

On Friday, Sean's class had a cupcake decoration party so I went to see him. Apparently, they had a birthday party earlier for a student and Sean thought that I am going to attend the birthday party as well. When I showed up for the cupcake decoration party, he kind of looked mad at me. The teacher and her aids said he was asking about me a lot throughout the day. He came around though and we had a fun time together decorating a cupcake and two cookies. Miss Nia said that Sean's always smiling and does not cause problems at all. I am glad that he is doing well at school. He acts out a lot at home but at least half of a day, he spends time being a very good boy. I ought to remember that and cut him some slacks.

I baked a layered chocolate cake (I am yet to decorate it) for Valentine's Day today. I've decided to make baking my hobby, so I am going to be baking quite a bit from now on. I am also trying to diet at the same time, so I am not sure how this new hobby of mine's going to play out.

Mike is taking tomorrow off because Sean's school is out for a week. We are planning to take him out and have a Sean Day. We don't know where to take him yet but we'll come up with something fun.
