Happy Valentines Day!

When I pulled open my sock drawer this morning, I found this valentine from Ryan: The heart has 2 pieces of gum taped on it for Mark & I. It was such a sweet surprise. Ryan really surprises me sometimes -- I love it!!

My valentines to Mark and the boys were these two fruit bouquets:

I may not be a pro, but I really liked the way they turned out. Not bad for a first timer. It was fun to do, and everyone thought they were really awesome! (They couldn't believe I actually made them!) I would have liked more strawberries, but Costco didn't have any and they are so ridiculously expensive at the grocery store these days! Mark brought home Chinese food for dinner and I made the boys homemade mac n' cheese, so we had a yummy dinner and no one complained about the food --now that's a valentine!) I think Jacob ate more today than he has all month!
Jacob came home from preschool yesterday wearing this silly valentine crown. I couldn't resist snapping a photo.


Hope everyone had a nice day!

I think I want one of those fruit things for my next birthday instead of cake.

Those fruit arrangements are cool!! I especially like the chocolate dipped strawberries. I once looked in to buying one of them for a friend, and they are stinkin' expensive. Maybe you ought to go into business....

I love Ryan's valentine. That's a good one for the mommy treasure box : ).

Desired drool effect achieved. Thanks for a great idea next year.
