Valentine's Day!

Big H

Little H

Baby M

We had a pretty awesome Valentine's Day. I was at work ,thinking about something nice I could do for Craig,-- since I didn't get him anything for our anniversary-- when, while on break, I'm told that my husband is out in the Cafeteria. I walk out there to find Craig, with the boys, a bunch of balloons and some roses-- made out of feathers. Everyone at work was exclaiming how lucky I was; I felt great because I never get surprised like that; and, of course, seeing all my boys at work was a wonderful treat!



On the way home I stopped to pick up Craig's present. Though my thoughts seemed kind of lame when compared to his wonderful gesture. Still he enjoyed his gift.



The boys also got pinwheels from their nursery leader-- along with conversation hearts, which Craig and I ate.



We ended the evening with another counseling session, and heart shaped pizza's at my parents.

We also made cookies, and frosted them. And I bought the boys some Justice League Valentines that never got delivered. I also made the boys' Valentine to send out, but they still haven't been sent.

We had a pretty awesome day I would say!

A Boy and His BALL-oon

We bought the boys balloon's for Valentine's Day and, by doing so, we found a new best friend for Big H.

His Balloon with went him everywhere.




He ate with it. . .



took it on walks. . .



and slept with it. He was in balloon heaven!



He'd walk around the house saying, "Ball? Ball?" He'd ask for it all the time. But slowly, one by one, all the BALL-oon's popped- or became severely deflated.

There was a silver lining. A friend of mine watched the boys, while we dealt with a slight family emergency, and she gave Big H the perfect gift: Two BALL-oon's. This silver lining was short lived however when, after one walk, both of those BALL-oon's disappeared. I'm just hoping he forgets about them until his birthday.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a great Valentine's Day just spending time with friends and family.




Our first Valentine's adventure was making some fun Valentine's for Grandparents, Aunts,Uncles and friends




I got this cute idea of making their feet look like hearts. Well I didn't realize how big the finished product would be- especially after we added a few pictures. Yes they are huge Valentine's, but they sure are cute.





On Valentine's Day I waited in line forever to get a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. We invited my parents over and had a nice dinner. Then we decorated homemade sugar cookies and delivered them to the neighbors.

In this picture Big H actually looks like he's doing some decorating. We just decorated the boys a cookie and let them pick at it while we decorated the others.




We took some to our neighbors and the boys nursery leaders. Can I just tell you how cute it was to see Little H waiting outside the door holding a plate of cookies. I had to grab the camera before we hit the last house, but this doesn't even begin to capture the cuteness.



Hope everyone had a good day!

February 14, 2010: Happy Valentines Day!!!

My Valentines Day celebration actually started at work on Friday. We had a fun little party at school. This is one of my favorite times to be at work. I just love all the cute little Valentines and the kids who have tried so hard to spell my name correctly. I always enjoy looking at the Valentines I've received throughout the years from the kids I've helped teach.

After work I came home and Craig and I gathered the boys and my nephew together for some pictures. It was a bit difficult because Big H was grumpy and kept throwing the flowers and the hat away from him.





On Saturday Craig and I took our Anniversary pictures, and then went shopping for Valentines Day presents.

On Sunday, we exchanged gifts before church. The boys and Craig ate my peeps because apparently they had a strawberry cream flavor. I did not notice this when I bought them, and had I noticed I would have decided not to purchase. I like normal peeps but the strawberry cream did not sound good to me at all.





Later that day we enjoyed a steak dinner at my parents house. It was delicious and left me very full and very satisfied.

Thanks everyone who helped make this a great Valentine's Day Weekend! Happy Valentine's Day!
