Valentine's and the week.

I decided to make Valentine's Day fun for the boys this year...hopefully it worked.  But I forgot to take pictures of it all, which is SAD!

I DID remember pictures of breakfast:
Waffles made by Dad, with fresh strawberries & bananas and whipped cream (in a can...so fun).

Look at that perfect waffle!  We should have a restaurant...some days it feels like we do!!

Kaden looks tired...or Chinese.

Spencer LOVED breakfast.

He also learned how to do this CHEESE face this week. He does it after he completes a naughty task, like making a mess or hitting or kicking.  It's so adorable (said with thick sarcasm).

Parker loves waffles and fresh fruit...he was definitely in heaven.

•  For their lunches, I used a cookie cutter to make a heart in their sandwiches.  I might have added some chocolate too...but maybe not because I knew they were going to have sugar-filled parties.

• For dinner, I made heart-shaped 'hamburgers' (I mixed a little ground beef with ground turkey...but it was yummy--for a meat dinner).  The kids thought that was fun.

• After school we decorated heart-shaped cookies we had made Sunday afternoon.  It was a day full of pink!

• I also made them heart valentines and put some candy in them.  The week before they had filled out Valentine's for each other and put them in a little white mailbox we have.  They had fun passing those out to each other as well.  

It was a fun family day!
(Josh didn't so much participate in the festivities...he hopes to redeem himself next year...I hope he does too.)


In other BIG news.....TYSON LOST IS FIRST TOOTH!!!!!!  It has been wiggly and loose for weeks, but he wouldn't let us do anything.  Friday night Parker hit his face somehow (it happens so often, in so many ways, it all blurs together in my memory), and it started bleeding and hurting a lot...so he let Josh pull it out There was much noise from him for a few minutes after, then he was excited about his tooth being out.  The tooth fairy actually remembered to come on the first night...and brought a selection of coins that equaled one dollar.

He looks more worried than excited, but he was excited...just had a hard time showing his bottom teeth for the camera.

As for the rest of the week.......well, we're just surviving the rest of February and hoping it ends the cold of this winter.
