Valentine's Day, a little early

The kids have school off on Monday, so they had their Valentines school parties today. Maggie was responsible for making her own box and she knew exactly what she wanted to make after a few minutes of playing around with the tissue paper...a Valentine's squid. She was mighty excited to show Brian when he got home.

Maggie and the squid

Currently, Sam has emptied out his bag on the floor and is sifting through the pieces, deciding what he will eat next. That kid definitely has a sweet tooth. Maybe he got that from me, but I am cured of it, unless it comes to homemade sugar cookies or Brian's chocolate chip cookies.

The cookie jar was full earlier in the week...
I have always enjoyed Valentines Day. As I kid, the Valentine Heart would visit us leaving a simple gift for each of us on the front porch...and surprisingly, she still comes to my kids :). February is also a busy birthday month for us as grandparents and our little Sadie will be celebrating birthdays in the next few days...I can't believe she will be turning 1!!

I decorated a few places with hearts and Sadie has just loved seeing them around. She eats them if she gets ahold of them, but of course, it seems she eats everything these days.


These jars had more candy in them until the kids filled their Valentines.
