We had homemade personal pizzas and chocolate...(when are they going to get rid of the rum-cherry cordial from Sees?) always a disappointment. But there were roses. Yummm.
Do any of you have a hard time knowing how to show your middle school kids that you love them? That was me, all the way through those years. So here is some practical advice--make certain that your kids get the candy-gram deliveries from their school. Seriously. I spent a half an hour today walking around the school passing these things out and OMG those faces! Filled with hope that just maybe someone would have spent the .75 cents on a chocolate rose or .50 cents on a gorilla-heart sucker. Oh how I wished every kid (but especially the girls) received one of the token gifts. If I were a young women's leader again, I would march over to the middle school and make certain that every girl in the ward got a candy-gram. I had no idea how important the candy-gram is!
But alas. When my kids were in middle school, and when I was a YW leader, I was oblivious to the whole thing.
So take my wisdom from another day at the middle school.
(Today I yelled at a girl who didn't deserve it, blew my nose every three minutes, cut my finger, tried for five minutes to teach the Reformation and the importance of female chastity during the Renaissance.)

Thanks for the tip on the candygrams. I will have to remember that for next year as YW president.
Happy Valentine's Day!
ahhhh! I MISS YOU!!!
What a dazzlingl new magpie picture.
I'm not sure that junior highs should be in the business of candygrams. The losses seem too high.
