sweet valentine

we've been preparing for valentine's day since the last week of january; snapping pictures, cutting them out for their home in glittery foam heart shapes, addressing envelopes with stickers (that jack placed himself) and then proudly mailing the packages stuffed with candy before the actual holiday.  i'll accept my pat on the back right here.  no, further to the right.  yep, right there...

i'm slowly getting back on top of things, but man, having two tiny hearts to care for just keeps you busy!  birthday cards have been late, bills have been oh, shoot!  when was that due?!  i just can't keep things straight.  i blame the nursing brain, formally the pregnant brain.

dylan and i attended a fun little party this afternoon: valentine's day at jack's school (which i still don't understand why the party isn't on monday...)  i wore pink, dilly sported red, and jack wore a button down shirt that he insisted was oh, so niiiiiiice.  jack was in charge of bringing the veggies, so ants on a log and carrots with ranch is what the kiddos consumed.  yum.  jack and i put together the valentine bags on wednesday, and while i would like to share that he helped, he mostly complained  because he couldn't keep all the suckers and chocolate hearts to himself.  his friends received baggies with tootsie pops, reese's hearts, conversation hearts and a box of 5 stickers.

singing the thank you song, before consuming their valentine's lunch booty

this is diamond, jackie's main girl.  she's as sweet as she looks.  promise.  

pinkies out!

jack's best bud, paxon 

hope you all feel loved - not just on valentine's day - but every day!
