Happy Valentine's Day! I love making this day special and fun for my family. It was nice because Carter didn't have school this morning so we got to hang out and cook a special breakfast together. While I was making the pancakes Ava and Carter decorated everyone's plates with blueberries and strawberries.
This little boy is such a charmer. He loves giving butterfly kisses!
Today Carter told me "because you are my Valentine I really want to help you. I'm going to clean the kitchen." He unloaded the dishwasher for me (he dried them off and put them on the island because he can't reach the top cabinets) and loaded the dishwasher with dirty dishes that I had pre-rinsed. Thank you buddy, that was genuinely helpful!
Later he told me that I needed to go see his room. I assumed there would be some sort of lego creation, but no he had cleaned his room and done an awesome job of it! Really I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's Day surprise!
I have spent the majority of this winter huddled near the heating vent in the playroom, dressed in two sweat shirts, pants, two pairs of socks and wearing slippers. Typically I'm also sipping hot tea, just to have something warm in my hands. Ava has spent this winter in the least amount of clothing possible. Typically I have to coerce her into wearing socks and asking her to wear a sweatshirt, well that is just crazy talk. She has been wanting to wear her bathing suit around the house so they can play pool, but I have absolutely, positively put my foot down. It is way too cold to run around in nothing but a bathing suit. So this was her compromise: bathing suit on top, leggings and a jean jacket for warmth. I can agree to that!
This look cracks me up. He has been doing it lately, it's not a grumpy or angry face. But he will just look at me and say something like, can I scoop the flour? Sure, but I still can't figure out that crazy face!
I hope you have enjoyed your Valentine's Day!
