Weekends are hard for many families of Individual Augmentees (IAs), three-day weekends are even harder, and holidays can be hardest of all. When a holiday like Valentine's Day falls smack dab in the middle of a three-day weekend, you have a recipe for major depression.
Fortunately, we are blessed to know families like the Brenyos and Smiths and Fosters who cheerfully put their plans on the back burner on very short notice to help lift the spirits of a young IA family Sunday afternoon. The kids raced around in masks, decorated fans, and helped Robin's son Bryan frost cherry shortbread cookies.
The Not a Valentine's Party was so much fun, I'm thinking we need to schedule a Not a Lent Party sometime soon.
What a cute picture!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for opening your heart and your home to myself and the kids. We are so fortunate to have found such a great support system.
