Monday

I made a pretty table for my valentines to wake up to(hey, for me this is creative!). Gifts include a little box of candy, a baby apple that they've been wanting to try and an electric toothbrush they've also been asking for.
We decorated the table with flowers and a 'love mat'. The kids have hearts of all colors they cut out hanging around the house as well. We all wore a red shirt with huge intentions of grabbing a matching picture but no pictures were taken after this early morning shot.

So since I don't have a group picture of my sweethearts to share I'll give you this of the two youngest. #4 put together the drums and then let the little guy help him play or make racket, same thing!

A valentine's day treat. Aren't they cute? I used this recipe, doubled it and used a heart cookie cutter to make it extra special. They were good although we still have leftovers as the kids and I have been sick, you know we must be sick if we can't/don't want to eat ours sweets! I think we are finally on the road to recovery though.

Dad this one is for you. Remember the tree I was talking about. When we walk out the front door this is what we see now.


Somehow the tree isn't looking as full.



I wonder why that could be?
