Valentines Day Party

*I don't know why it took me so long.....



Our cover school had their Valentines Day party on Monday. I was recruited to help out with the craft table and I also took about 100 pictures. 

My first kids....

There was nail painting


And face paint...






Cake Walk


Four Square

They have a contest to see who can come up with the best Valentines box. 
This girl took first place in her age group.






Apparently this person just cut to the chase.....



Then there were some unique valentines......







After the party, the teens who helped, headed to Ruth's house to hang out and play Halo (a video game) and foosball.

Big Time Inspiring Song

Okay.....This theme song of "Big Time Rush" on Nickelodeon is surprisingly umm... inspiring!?! I love the song!! Please take the time to listen/read it. 


The lyrics are below and you can listen to it here. ( just type in the search bar 'big time rush')
I have bolded the lines that are influential. 




~Big Time Rush~



oh oh oooh oh 
oh oh oooh oh 
oh oh oooh oh 


Make it count, play it straight 
Don't look back, don't hesitate 
When you go 
(Big time) 


what you want 
whats you feel 
never quit and make it real, 
when your all (big time!) 

Hey! Hey!-all 
listen to your heart now 
Hey! Hey!-all 
dont you feel the rush! 
Hey! Hey!-all 
Better take your shot now 
Ooooh, oh.-all 
Ooooh, oh.-all 

[Chorus] 

Go and shake it up, what you gotta lose? 
Gonna make your luck with the life you choose.

 If you want it all, play it on the line. 
its the only life you got so you got to live it (big time) 
[Chorus] 


Oh, Oh, Oh, Ooooh, 
Oh, Oh, Oh, Ooooh, 


Step it up, get in gear, go for broke, make it clear, gotta go (big time.) 

(oooh–heeey) 
Make it work, get it right, change the world over night, (gotta dream big time. ) 

(oooh-oooh.) 

(Hey! Hey!)
Give it all you got now. 
(Hey! Hey!) Isn’t it a rush?! 

(Hey! Hey!) Finish what you start now

Ooooh, Oh. 
Ooooh, Oh. 

[Chorus] 

Go on shake it up, what you gotta lose? 
Gonna make your luck with the life you choose. 

If you want it all, play it on the line. 
It’s the only life you got, so you gotta live it (big time.) 

[Chorus] 

Look around, 
every light is shinning now, its brighter somehow. 

Look around, 
nothings really as it seems, nothing but dreams. 

You and I, 
Gonna make a brand new sound, like we own this town. 
(like we own this town) 

We can fly, 
now our feet are off the ground, and never look down. 
welcome to the big time. 

All the pretty people see, 
Walkin’ in the sunshine, welcome to the good times. 
Life will never be the same. 

[Chorus] 

Go on shake it up, what you gotta lose? 
Gonna make the luck with the life you choose.

 If you want it all, play it on the line. 
It’s the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time.
 
[Chorus] 

Oh, Oh, Oh, Ooooh, 
Oh, Oh, Oh, Ooooh, 


If you want it all, play it on the line. 
It’s the only life you got, so you gotta live it (big time.)
 



Just as an FYI...I normally don't watch alot of tv but this show and theme song are surprisingly postive for our culture today....oh, and I don't believe in luck either....


Have a great week everybody!
