My heart..hearts my kids!

Today we celebrated Valentines Day…ALL DAY…since Rich and I love each other enough to leave our kids with family (fun V-day for them \’’/) on Valentines Day so we can give each other a little TLC. (We are headed to Vegas on Sunday for a work conference Rich is attending!!!)

A day full of HEART ATTACKS…

Heart pancakes…

The kids always think it’s a great day when it starts with pancakes with FROSTING on them…breakfast of CHAMPIONS! Kendyl didn’t get frosting on hers….so I put a little on her nose to see if she could figure out how to get to it. She never did figure out how to get the frosting…but she did manage to find a different treat…YUCK!

I was able to spend the day with Sadie at school helping out with her class room Valentines Party! It was so fun…and brought back so many memories and feelings I had of being in elementary school.

Decorating cookies…

After school we made sugar cookies. (Hmmm….don’t they look just like the pancakes??? They probably have the same nutritional value too!) The plan was to decorate them and take them to neighbors….but that didn’t happen….WHY???

Because I just couldn’t do that to my neighbors…I would have been worried about them contracting some infectious disease after seeing what working conditions these cookies were made in.

I didn’t want to confess that FINGER and TOE jam were the secret ingredients!

And then as if FINGER and TOE jam were not sick enough….I caught Mason under the table sucking back on the frosting container.

SO NEIGHBORS…YOU CAN THANK ME LATER FOR NOT BRINGING YOU OUR DELICIOUS CREATIONS!

Heart Pizzas…

Then for dinner the kids made their own heart pizzas. Mason did not want to wait to cook his so he ate it uncooked….not surprising!

Then when I wasn’t looking he took the whole bowl of cheese and dumped it in his mouth…

THEN…he said. “Yummy cheese for me….none for you guys!”

He may have been stingy with the cheese…but not with his pepperoni kisses! (He made lips out of the pepperoni and went around giving kisses with them)

Camping with lovebugs…

We ended the day with camping in the family room. The kids thought it was so cool…they especially got a kick out of the LOVEBUGS all over the tent (which Sadie especially loved because she helped make them)…

Kendyl went from being one tired grumpy baby…to the life of the party once the tent was set up. She was on cloud 9!

All of the playing made for some fun crazy hair!

After some popcorn and a movie…the kids FINALLY gave in and went to sleep….

Nighty Night!
