Will You Be Mine?

We had a delightful Valentine's Day. Isabella celebrated during the day with her classmates at her V-day class party. She was excited to get to school to show her friends the valentines bags she had stuffed herself. She counted each and every teddy graham and gummy bear that went into each baggie being very careful that they weren't at all broken (because if it was broken it meant SHE could eat it). "Nobody will want a broken one Mommy." As soon as she entered her little classroom and others were sitting down to start their first activity, she quickly pulled her valentines out of her backpack, did a quick twirl, and excitedly began passing them out. Whoa Joe! Let's wait until the party! What a downer...she had to hand them to her teacher and wait a couple of hours.

Meanwhile, Victoria wasn't able to go to her class party because, come to find out, she had a double ear infection that was accompanied by an awful cough. Poor thing. She didn't seem too heartbroken to have to stay home with Mommy though. Plus she's a fan of visiting the doctor, so it all worked out to her liking. She loves to play doctor at home, so when the doctor pulled out the stethoscope she willingly pulled up her shirt and started taking deep breaths. She was excited to be measure and weighed and was looking forward to getting her ears checked. And of course, we can't forget the smile on her face when she was handed a red lollipop! "Would you like a sticker?" "No, thank you, I don't like stickers."

The day continued with dinner at our house with Papa and Grandma. We were so thankful that they spent their Valentine's evening with us. And our celebration ended the next evening when Mark and I went on our own dinner date.



Trying on her Valentine's gift: new glass slippers.


Glass slippers can bring a big smile even on a sick day.
