Happy LOVE Day

It was fun to make Miss M's valentines this year. Instead of candy we gave her friends pencils.
Miss M also got a special valentine from her friend. She was on cloud 9 the rest of the afternoon.


and as our annual valentine tradition - chocolate covered strawberries. Miss A had SO much fun dipping the strawberries. She has become quite the little helper in the kitchen wanting to do it
all and by herself! I have mixed feelings about my girls growing up, I want them to stay little, but we are having so much fun doing things together I am LOVING watching them discover new things and seeing their faces when they finally get something right or get it done all by themselves. (sigh)

I Heart Valentine's

Actually, I think I heart holidays. I really like to decorate for them all.
This year Miss M is REALLY into Valentine's. She goes into my or rather, OUR craft room and makes some everyday.

* She does spell Mommy with an EY, it's her new thing, it's more fancy that way. And after discovering that her name comes from Bob Marley, she has started to sign things,
Love, Bob*


Today, I got this in the mail!
(and Miss M got a CUTE dress from Gymboree - I'll have to get pics of her in it)

thanks mom!!
When Miss A woke up from her nap and saw it. She was all squeals of delight!
"oh gook MommAH, gook it, gook it"
(I am MommAH, and Miss M is ma-ma)

I wish I would have gotten her reaction on video. The other thing I wish I would have recorded today - Miss A discovered my maxi pads. Unwrapped a bunch and stuck them all over herself.
It really was picture worthy!

And today as I was catching up on my goggle reader
(because it is too stinkin' cold to go and do anything!)
I saw some cute Valentine's stuff...

If I had another baby I would want it to be born in February.
and I would make things like this

My Funny Little Valentines

We didn't just have ONE day of Valentine, we or Marlee celebrated ALL week! Last night before bed she said to me "happy valentines day mommy." I explained to her that valentines is over, it just lasts for one day. She pondered this for a moment and then said "but we can have I Love you days, EVERY DAY!!!" 3 1/2 year olds are SO smart!
So Happy I LOVE you day to all our friends and family!!

(and a special thanks to Dade (daddy) who made us our ono ono waffle breakfast!)
