Love Day

We always make our special sugar cookies for Valentine's Day and this year we aligned it with Aiden's party so we could make them with Cassie.  It's always fun bringing the cookies to school for others to eat also.  The boys had a good time and it was nice to have an extra set of hands to help.  Although the boys were not quite ready for the cookie in face finish from Cassie.  Aiden actually gave Cassie the death stare and didn't talk to her for a while. Alex, thinking it was funny when she did it to Aiden, burst into tears when she did it to him.

Daycare was closed on Valentine's Day this year so we were able to have a special day.  We got dressed in our 'red clothing' and went out running errands, because isn't that fun?  We got a lot done, too.  We also stopped for lunch at Noodles and Company.  The boys loved their spaghetti and meatballs and I had a nummy Thai dish.  We don't get there much.

After heading home, we took quick naps before Andy got home with flowers for me.  I love flowers!  We had a traditional Papa Murphy's heart pizza for dinner with a special treat, Pop!  The boys and I got Andy a big bag of Caribou coffee and underwear for Valentine's Day.  Too Much Information?  Andy and I got the boys books, a little candy and some home made ice packs for Valentine's Day.  Gifts from the heart is what I call them.  We followed up with a movie night and bed.  A perfect day.

The boys ended up celebrating Valentine's Day at daycare the following week and Alex had a special day at preschool.  He loved all his Valentine's and has them saved in a special spot in his room with his Valentine's from last year.  Aiden shared applesauce "You are Awesomesauce!" treats with his friends and Alex shared sour worm "Love Bugs" with his friends. Yes, I am afraid I have a pack rat on my hands!  None the less, their hearts are filled with love for each other and others.  The last three pictures are from daycare. Sarah is so awesome!
