Happy Valentine's Day!

What a day!!!! It was so nice to have Valentine's on the weekend so we could enjoy the day together as opposed to rushing the morning to hurry off to work/school. If only Valentine's Day could ALWAYS be on the weekend!
We began our morning with the traditional Valentine exchange and bag opening ritual!!! (I apparently need to rethink the amount of sugar that goes in "the bag" for next year, but the kids loved it.) They especially loved opening mail from grandparents...how special!!! :)

To subside the intake of sugar, we moved on to breakfast...pink eggs with heart shaped sausage and heart pancakes with pink syrup. Little Miss A loved all the pink. Mr D. however, wasn't a fan...I think he would have preferred blue. (It's amazing how those two are still so pink/blue!)
The rest of the day was sort of spent on house stuff. Not the most exciting, but the kids love to help so we all worked together. Not to mention the fact that they are JUST as excited as we are to get a new house that they want to help. (The mention of stairs, sends their minds spinning!) Anyway, we took lots of breaks during the day just to play on the play scape and the new trapeze bar addition we added today. They both love it!
We took the kids to a Valentine party at the Y and J and I hit the town for a nice evening out. A & D had a BLAST, so a good time was definitely had by all!!! :)
