I am so thankful for my family! We were all home today as a family and I thoroughly enjoyed it (even though my child is ill, cranky, needy, and took 2 loooong hours to fall asleep today for a nap). Alas, it was still a wonderful day!
Last week I made the Valentine's cards for Lydia's class. In keeping with our "pig" theme for her birthday--I saw this idea on Pinterest and made little cards. I bought a big "bag of buttons" at Hancock's one day, and can you believe it had over 16 pink, two holed buttons. I was sooo excited! (By the way--we just LOVE Broadmoor Methodist Learning Center. Love it! I would highly recommend anyone to go there.)
I've always wanted to decorate cookies. So I tried it. Honestly, It wasn't too much fun! LOL I'm too impatient to allow the colors to dry and layer them properly. Although, I felt I was getting the hang of finding the right consistency, I'm not sure how often I want to do this.
I was inspired by this blog. Oh my!!! Can you say cookie ART! This gal is fantastic. You must, must, look at her blog! Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle
We decided at the last minute to go out for a quick dinner tonight. Brett's mother met us at the restaurant. Lydia is holding my valentine monkey :) I'm most certain that when Daddy bought it for me--he ultimately knew who would take over it :) and I'm ok with that.
She's getting so big. Guess who is going to turn 2 tomorrow!
Our Sweet Valentine's!! I actually made Brett's card (the one in the front). I just couldn't bear spending $5 on a card. I prefer to think I'm not cheap--but that I'm just thoughtful.
I want everyday to be like today--a celebration of the people in my life--the people who mean the most to me :) Every day really should be "Valentine's Day" where we honor those we love--by actually taking time and showing it!
I hope your day was as great as ours!
