Valentine's Day

I love Valentine's day.  I love dressing my children for Valentine's day.  I love all the little cards they come home with.  Today A wore a super cute navy dress with purple hearts and G wore a pink shirt with white stripes.  Yes, he did.  It is/was Valentine's day.  It was kind of funny to see him wearing a cupcake apron with a large white bow at the top though.  My mom bought A and I matching cupcake aprons for Christmas and G likes to wear it too because it matches the one I wear.  So.....yes, pink shirt and cupcake apron. 

A is always more than willing to pose for pictures or at least not react in an angry way (as G sometimes does) when I take her picture.  In this picture below she had her arms spread :: "Mommy, I love you this much."

"How much?"  "This much.  See my arms. This much."

I am loving the sun in this picture below.  The kids both brought home a variety of pencils as part of the Valentine's day loot.  G loves to sharpen pencils.  I think that he likes it so much as it is sort of like a mini garbage can and he is ALL. ABOUT. GARBAGE. So he went to work on sharpening the pencils.  Before I knew it he had showed some flower petals in the sharper, as well as, parts of the erasers.  Ahhhhhh, boys.

A decided she had some writing to do today.  She was writing things that I need to ask "my kids" at school.  She and I both came up with "sentences" she should write.  Among my favorite sentneces were : "Do you like firetrucks?" "Do you like magazines?"  I replied, "Oh, that's a good one."  A: "I thought you would like that one mommy."

A: "My teacher said I have to write all this down."
A: "Gosh, I don't have much room left."

Don't worry I saved all three pages of sentences that she wrote. G moved onto the camera.  I love all these great images of him working wth the camera. 

P.S. Spring is on the way.  We can see some small patches of grass and I just saw someone ride by on a bike.  For reals.  A bike.
