Valentines Day Fun

I love holidays, and having kids makes it so much more fun. Of course Valentine's Day is about LOVE and I'd like to give a shout out to my Love, but it's also about the candy and cards and all the hype that goes along with it. At least today it was. Big man had his card/candy exchange at preschool. He even missed playgroup because he was so excited to come home and open them. He was so good to share with his brother and sister. Although sister was not supposed to climb up on the table and help herself. Big Man got FIVE Fun Dips. This is what's all over her mug. I loved this picture because it shows her pretty blue eyes (and the boogers if you look close).


Later in the afternoon we had some of our friends over. T had her Valentine treat exchange as well, so the fun started all over again. It's like Christmas, but with candy. I was very impressed with both Big Man and T for sharing some of their treats. Way to go guys.

The next event of our day was the Hunting Expo at the Salt Palace downtown. Jeff is helping out at the Vortex booth this weekend, but wanted to show the boys around this afternoon. It was fun. We thought the double stroller would be enough, but none of the kids wanted to walk. We had to get creative. I spent a lot of time holding Little Princess.

Part of the reason Big Man didn't want to walk is because he hurt his foot. Yesterday while cleaning out the basement, he jumped off a tote onto a pair of scrapbooking scissors. They were closed (thank goodness), but he bruised his foot pretty bad. He's been limping on it all day. Tonight I took him into the InstaCare to have it checked out. It's fine, but he got a cool bandage, sticker, and treat. That makes it all worth it, right? It's been a busy but fun day.

Happy Valentines everyone!!!
