Valentine's Day 2010

It was a Valentine's Weekend at our house this year. It started on Friday

when we went out to Grandpa and Grandma's for a Valentine/Thank-you for helping farm party. Funny story. Linda made sugar cookies for each family for Valentine's Day. After dinner I was craving something sweet. I wasn't able to have the cookies since they weren't gluten free, so I stole Audrey's m&m's out of her Valentine bucket she'd gotten. I thought she hadn't noticed until she came over to me and picked up the empty wrapper and said, "no mommy, me!" oops. I was busted.

On Saturday morning, Audrey and I made pink heart shaped pancakes

for breakfast. Yum! Audrey loves to help by pouring the ingredients

into the bowl and then stirring. She often helps me cook in the kitchen.

I hear her say "me help, mommy, me help!" as she scoots her chair

up to the counter.

Saturday night we made GF chocolate cupcakes and then

decorated them.

Audrey decorated them all by herself.

Sunday morning (Valentine's Day) the girls opened their

Valentine packages first thing. Books, flash cards, stickers and

coloring books are what they found in their bags.

My tiniest Valentine--not so tiny anymore. Allie caught Audrey's cold

this past week and had to go to the doctor. She weighed in at

13 lbs 8 oz at 8 weeks.

Most of Allie's outfit was Audrey's. I didn't get to use these

red skirts at Christmas like I intended so I used them today.

Allie's was a little small, though as it's 0-3 months and she's wearing

3-6 and some 6-9 month clothes right now.

Grandmother and Grandpa came up after church for cupcakes

and coffee. Audrey got a special songbook from Grandmother

with the lyrics to the song she wrote one day while her and

Audrey were at the piano.
