Happy Valentines Day!

Last weekend, we had a family bonding time making valentines!

Mr. Lefty working hard on cutting out the hearts.  This is before Bryan decided it would be much more time-efficient to stack 5 pieces of paper together before cutting:)

K's Valentine party at school.  

 The fruit display from one of the parents -- so fun!

 I was in charge of the her class party.  

We had four centers . . . making a pipe cleaner pencil toppy thingy, 

 . . . the infamous bingo . . .

  . . . decorating a sugar cookie . . . (notice Tyler in the background completely making himself at home in the play area  . . . K's teacher is a gem and lets the younger siblings just chill over there during parties . . . such a life-saver!), and the last center was a "stack the heart" game -- no pic.

I zipped into J's room for a sec to get a quick pic!

 And since V-day was on a Thursday and B has rehearsal, we had a Valentines breakfast this morning -- heart pancakes, heart bacon, and heart (sorta) strawberries.

 Why is this with the Valentine post?  Because my wonderful husband surprised me last weekend with under-cabinet lighting for the kitchen -- woot woot!!!!!  

I'll take that ANY DAY over fancy, schmancy flowers!  

I think at this point he was wishing he would have gone the flower route . . .:)
