Valentine's Day

Sylvia's special V Day bracelet (cherry sours and sparkly ribbon) 

Sylvia's Blow Pop flower valentines 

My big cuties

The kids LOVE holidays.  Actually, they love any excuse to run into my room first thing in the morning and shout at me.  This morning, they shouted "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!" at the top of their lungs.  We started our day with heart shaped pancakes, or as Sylvia says, "flapjacks."  She's weird.  Both kids have V Day parties at school today, so that will be a lot of fun for them.  We put a lot of time into the Blow Pop valentines, because Sylvia was super into it.  I had to put Ben's Spider Man valentines together for him, and force him to sign his name.  That was how into it he was!

Our other Valentine's Day fun will include:

Lunch with Daddy
Making yummy Valentine Chex Mix (recipe here)
Coloring cute Valentine coloring pages (found here)
And last but not least, our ward is putting on a Valentine's Day dinner/dance with free child care! 

Fun will be had by all :)
