- Joy to the world!
- Well, I'm really excited because something came
in the mail that we've been waiting and waiting for.
- My glasses.
- [Kendra] It is, it's your glasses.
(relaxing music)
(kids singing "Stressed Out")
(upbeat rock music)
- [Dad and Son] Take my hand, take my whole life too.
I can't help falling in love with you.
(upbeat rock music)
- [Customer] Such good kids.
- Well, thank you.
Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day.
We are starting off the day with a trip to the store
because the kids need Valentines
for their Valentine's parties at school tomorrow,
and we haven't gotten them yet, so we are picking those out.
The kids are also gonna design their Valentine's mailboxes,
and I'm hoping to pull off a fun festive
Valentine's dinner as a family tonight.
We'll see if that actually happens or not.
(calm soft rock music)
Well, the kids have voted and unanimously decided
that they want to give candy Valentines,
like one of the little packs of snacks.
Can't blame 'em, that's what I would want to do too.
- [Girl] Fun dips.
- You guys love fun dips?
Well, we did it, we got everything we need
for our fun dinner tonight, our Valentine's family dinner.
Isaac and Elise are doing all the loading for me today.
They're being super helpful, and these two...
- We're touching them.
- [Kendra] Are ya?
Are you touching everything underneath there?
- We're done.
- Nailed it.
All right, well, we're home
and the kids are working on making their
Valentine's mailboxes for their school parties tomorrow.
And I don't think we've shown you guys yet
the finished color.
So here's the finished color in our house.
It's Edgecomb Gray, is what it's called.
Things that I'm loving about it,
I love how much brighter it is in here,
I love how clean the walls feel, like the fresh feeling,
I'm really not sure if the color
is my dream favorite color, but it's gonna be fine.
- At first, I was gonna do a castle design,
but I'm just gonna do it simple.
- [Mom] You're gonna keep it simple?
That doesn't look dangerous at all.
- I think I need a napkin.
- [Kendra] Did you get some glue on your fingers?
- Yeah.
- [Kendra] Sometimes it's harder to wrap
the boxes than you think.
Elise is finishing up her box.
- I'm gonna practice that one too.
- The chicks are gonna be in here.
- Alright, the time has come to clean out the cage.
We're supposed to do it two or three times
while we have 'em, so I'm gonna clean out
the cage and put 'em back in.
Didn't they get so much bigger
since the last time we saw them?
- [Dad] They're starting to get
actual feathers on their wings.
Look at their wings, they have like actual feathers.
- Guess what, I learned how to hold them.
- [Dad] Can you hold the chick?
Okay, let's see it.
Cubby says he wants to hold one of the chicks.
Are you holding one?
Good job,
you're so great. - Now, I'm gonna do it
the real way.
(upbeat, endearing music)
- [Dad] Okay, dump the new shavings in there.
Thank you.
- Let's put the food and water in now.
- [Dad] Yeah, let's put the food and water in there.
Okay are you ready?
I'm gonna put the food in.
Alright, should we put the chicks in?
Do you wanna grab one?
- No, I'm too scared.
- It was so fun to get your votes
for naming our baby chick.
And the name that won by far,
it was like 80 percent or something like that,
was Sunshine.
- [Kids] I love it.
- [Dad] So Sunshine is this one right here.
- [Son] It has little dots.
- [Dad] Yep.
But we have Bonnie and we have Dottie,
Tiana and Sunshine.
Do you guys wanna move them into their cage?
- [Daughter] Yeah.
- [Dad] Okay, go ahead.
- Wait, do we hold them?
- [Dad] Yeah, like you move them.
- [Daughter] No, no way.
- [Dad] Oh, Cubby's doing it.
So careful!
Good job.
(gasp) You moved Sunshine over!
Good job, Cubby.
- Hi, I love you.
Hello chickies.
- [Dad] Are you a chickie?
- No, I'm a frog.
- [Dad] You're a frog?
- Ribbit!
(dad chuckles)
- This is how I jump.
I know how I jump
- [Dad] Just like a frog?
- Watch this.
- [Dad] She's a frog.
- [Son] Hey, frog.
- Ribbit!
Ribbit!
Daddy, can I sleep like a morning one?
- [Dad] You wanna go take a nap?
- Yeah, like a sleepy back.
- [Dad] You wanna, like, sleep right by them?
- Well, I'm really excited because something
came in the mail that we've been waiting and waiting for.
Here it is.
Do you guys know what it is?
- My glasses!
- [Mom] It is, it's your glasses.
I'm so excited for you to have not-broken glasses.
- Yeah.
It'll be so nice.
- And they're the same color.
- [Mom] Yep, we just ordered the same pair again.
- It's easier to pick.
Because last time, it took, like, a long time.
- [Mom] To pick?
So she's had one whole arm of her glasses off.
- I can see just fine.
- So, poor Elise has been dealing with those broken glasses
for about two weeks now
and I'm just so glad the replacement pair is here.
She's been so easy-going about it and so flexible.
She's like, "It's not a big deal, mom"
but they're always sliding off her nose
and getting knocked off.
Anyway, I'm really excited for her
that the replacement pair is here.
It's time for the guys to address their Valentines.
Hey Caleb, you need to do 15 of those, okay?
So on this next one, write from Caleb again.
- I can't write my name.
- [Mom] Do you need some help writing your name?
- L.
- [Mom] Yeah, L.
That's for Laura.
Laura's autographing every single Skittles wrapper.
- That's all of them.
- [Mom] Good job.
- Except Laura took some.
- [Mom] Oh, was Laura taking some?
No, Laura, no!
- Joy to the world, the Lord has done!
(singing mumbled song lyrics)
- [Mom] Wow, that was quite a performance.
- Yep.
I'm a princess.
- [Mom] Oh, you're a princess?
Is that why you're singing?
- Yes.
- [Mom] Okay.
- Joy to the world.
The Lord has done.
(singing mumbled song lyrics)
- [Mom] Wow, very nice, Miss Laura.
Is that your stage?
- Yeah, but I'm a princess.
- [Mom] Oh, you're a princess.
What's your name?
- Tiana.
- [Mom] Princess Tiana?
Oh you're gonna do it five more times?
Okey-dokey.
- Joy to the world.
Joy to the world the lord has-- (clap)
- So over Christmas time, we got
a gingerbread house kit and I was so excited about it
and I wanted to be able to make
this big, huge gingerbread house
and then we completely ran out of time.
So, we are going to make a love shack today.
We're gonna use the gingerbread house as the base.
And then we got all these Valentines-ish candies
and frostings and sprinkles.
- You're doing a great job.
- Kendra's getting the fondue ready.
- I have no idea what I'm doing.
- Oh my, that looks so cute.
- Thanks.
They're gonna make it.
- One says let's kiss.
- [Dad] Did a wall fall?
We'll just put it back up.
- I'm gonna make a chandelier.
- [Mom] I saw that, Laura.
Alright, Lucy's trying some sprinkles.
You got some on the frosting too?
We'll see how this turns out.
- [Mom] Poll question, have you done cheese fondue before?
- I think I'm done.
- [Dad] That looks really good.
- [Elise] This is official.
- Alright guys, here's the cheese fondue.
Yeah, so these are all the things that we can dip in it.
Stick it in, stick it in,
and then dip it in, and then eat it.
- That's right.
And we have strawberry milk for happy Valentine's Day.
- [Dad] Oh, that looks good.
- [Caleb] I wanna pop the bubbles.
I need a spoon.
- Mushrooms.
It's good.
Cheers.
- Strawberry milk.
- I did a cheers to 2017 being hopefully the year
with the most love in our home.
Something we're always working on,
is trying to speak nicer to each other
and be kinder to each other and I'm excited for this year.
Keep on working no that.
- And I love it.
- [Dad] What happened Elise?
- Isaac and Caleb was laughing.
- So Elise was laughing so hard
after she took a drink out of the strawberry milk
that it literally bubbled up and came out of her nose.
I've never seen that happen before.
- Why does it come out of my nose?
(tranquil acoustic music)
- My little chicks.
- Well I just completely melted down, sobbing.
