Valentine's Day

We woke up and had a "party" right away for Connor.  He got a Shrek DVD and a box of robot chocolates.

When he saw Daddy's Valentine, he got scared for a few seconds and then he thought it was funny.  He carried around that heart box the rest of the weekend!

My loves surprised me with pretty pink tulips!


Connor made an adorable owl painting at daycare that I hung up in the family room.

Caylee brought home some Valentine footprints from daycare too.

After a short morning nap, we headed out for some fun...

I took my Valentine's to an indoor playground so Daddy could have some time to rest.

Connor loved the ball pit!

Caylee napped for most of the time, but she woke up at the end to play and take a few pictures.  Tupac headband for the win!

It's hard to get both of them to post when there's kids playing behind me, but I tried!

In the evening, Connor opened his Valentine package from his grandparents with his very own Minion toys!

He also attempted to feed Caylee in her Kisses bib :)

Our Week & Valentine's Day Prep

Playing with Nana & Rob while visiting Papa

Day 1 of Valentine's Day box prep

Day 2 consisted of covering the box in stickers

Caylee tried puffs for the first time...and then threw up an entire container of yogurt all over herself.  #mess


Daycare drop off in her Converse!

Seriously.  He wanted to do my hair.

Valentine's Day Artwork

Artwork by my two favorite Valentines...

Connor painted the backgrounds on both.


We let them dry overnight and then we did the prints the next night by the bathtub.

Minion Valentines

Connor is ready for his Valentine's Day party this Friday at school!

His obsession with the Minions gave me the inspiration for these crayon box wraps.  I actually planned ahead, so I had a little time to do something cute.  I can't wait to see his face when I show him the Valentines on Friday morning!

Valentine's Day Outtakes

It took some hard work to get perfect photos for Daddy's Valentine's Day gift.  With the help of Grammy and Grandpa and some old toys in my childhood bedroom, we got some adorable poses!  But here are some of the funny ones we didn't use...

This was our favorite!  I was holding up the heart to my stomach so they could take a picture of my baby bump, so Connor grabbed his heart, pulled up his shirt, and did the same thing!

Valentine's Day

This was the first year that Connor's classroom had a Valentine's Day party.  They asked all the children to bring in Valentines for their friends, so I came up with a little craft we could do together.

Connor used his crayons to color on each Valentine and then I cut them out and put them on curly straws.


I also tied on a little box of Valentine stickers with a ribbon.


Apparently, the party was very successful because this was his collection when he got home on Friday!  Someone is very loved!  I also stopped by daycare on my way home on Friday to attend their party.  I think all the kids were pretty worn out from the their sugar high!

Nothing too fancy for dinner, but we headed over to Friday's for a quick meal and then ran to Target.

When we got home, we exchanged gifts as a family. 

He got new headphones to use on the ipad with his "new" ears!

He also got a puppet Curious George book, but that was a big FAIL because he got scared and I had to hide it!

We got Dada a little tin of Reese's, some new socks...

...and this little wall hanging that we worked very hard on!  Connor was a great model with the help of Grammy and Grandpa!


Connor and Dada made me a little teddy bear card and promised to buy a vanity for the girls when we buy the new furniture for our bedroom.
