February 13, 2009 - "school Valentines Day": Anna was so excited about making her Valentine cards and candy necklaces for her friends at school. Who new that our little love bug would be sick on Valentines Day with pneumonia and an ear infection. I took her to her class on the way to the doctor so she could deliver her cards and pick up her Valentine wishes...she was thrilled! As time was zipping by, there wasn't time for home-made treats, but I did buy some of Austin's favorite iced sugar cookies for his class...pink and white for Valentines and sent to school with him. He wanted to do his Iron Man cards himself and was most interested in the fun dips he taped them too...he loves those fun dips! (Yes, he ate the extra ones!) He was so sweet to help Anna make her candy necklaces for her friends...his reward?? You guessed it I'm sure...eating the left over candy! Anna and Austin are our major candy eaters! Austin's class decorated Valentine bags at school for all their cool cards...he had fun going through them...and yes, eating more candy! So, today is officially Valentines Day and we spent the day snuggling with Anna at home and taking turns going to Connor's soccer tournament to cheer him on...more to come on his tournament tomorrow! Jeffery came home with filet mignon, fresh artichokes and asparagus...all the ingredients for a fabulous dinner! I had already started peeling shrimp, so he cooked those on the grill as well...dinner was fantastic! The kids are most ready for dessert...Dad got the most delicious looking chocolate covered strawberries and Mom got a yummy cookie cake from the Cookie Co. Just a few of our favorite things! So, we are about to settle down with a movie and dessert...a great end to Valentines Day. Hope your day was filled with love and little surprises that let you know you are special...Happy Valentines Day!
