We had a fun Valentine's Day. The children were all so excited to see if they would get heart-attacked and receive a few little surprises. Of course they did and we celebrated in other ways too, including:
- A pink breakfast of strawberry milk, apple slices, and pink heart shaped pancakes
- I packed Ethan and Lauren a red lunch...it was not the most healthful lunch with all the Red40 dye.
- Simon, Jillian and I made treats to deliver to friends and people I visit teach.
- We made sugar cookies for FHE treats on Monday night. They were a new recipe and one I will be making again because they were SO easy!
- We exchanged Valentine cards with classmates and friends.
- The mailbox was stuffed with Valentine cards from family. Thank you! They loved opening them all!
- We all had our fair share of sweet treats and the sugar crash was not fun with a 2 and 4 year old!
- And finally we had heart shaped pizza for dinner with fruit and a special Love Potion drink. Ethan told me I was the only one who should be drinking love potion and he would pass on it. :) He did end up drinking a bit of it because it was super yummy...pink lemonade, raspberry sherbet, and Sprite.
It was a good day for everyone and I love all the fun things we were able to do to celebrate this lovely holiday! The kids always love to have that extra special attention and I love doing these silly little things for them once in a while.
I will post some of the yummy recipes we made tomorrow...
Fun stuff!

Cute ideas! That's some serious loot and Simon is looking so grown up with that short haircut!

Your heart shaped pancakes and pizza turned out great. I'm not sure mine would be recognized as heart. Fun stuff.
