Happy Valentine's Day!

We get so busy during the months of December and early January, then there is nothing.  Which I do enjoy to some extent after running everywhere.  But, toddlers and babes don't just like to relax!  So, we start planning for Valentine's Day.  

We found a new recipe for Valentine's rice krispies, which were pretty good and pretty easy to make.  Alex enjoyed making this goodie.  

 

 

 

 Decorated sugar cookies are the most fun to make because you can personalize them to your own liking.  As displayed below, Alex had no problem with that.  The sugar comes so fast out of those bottles and I didn't want to be over bearing about using too much.  The end product looked lovely.

 

Of course we need to try what we make, right? 

Luckily, Alex allowed Andy and I to bring these to our jobs.  Or, we may have been a little love sick.  

I am loving the pinterest website, with all the new ideas for anything you could possibly want to do or have.  These cards were pinterest inspired.  Alex is on the left, Aiden the right and mommy behind.  I know they are not perfect, but it is the thought that counts and daddy's desk at work will definitely be full now.

Both of the boys' Valentine's for daycare this year were pinterest inspired also.  I loved the label idea for the pop rocks that a friend, Tiffany, suggested.  It made it so easy for Alex to help!

Sometimes I feel like I should agree with everyone when they talk about how Valentine's Day is such a Hallmark holiday and it was just planned so stores could create more revenue.

But, then I stop and thank God for all my blessings and loves.  My life would be so empty without the people I love and I think we should set aside a day to remind people of how we feel about them.  It is never a bad idea to stop and smell the roses.

Happy Valentine's Day!
