Happy Valentines Day!

I've been slacking lately with posting because truthfully it's been kind of boring around here. Not much to talk about and I often wonder if anyone ever reads this stuff anyways. But, my wonderful older brother told me that he checks the blog everyday, so I thought I better get back to posting. I wouldn't want to disappoint him!!

It's been a week long celebration of Valentines Day here. Which in our house basically involves eating way to much candy (which we bought for others), cookies (which we baked for others), and other sweets and getting our Valentines ready for school. Andrew's party is today and he is very excited. We had to bring icing to the party and he couldn't believe it. That is his favorite food! He was thinking, if I don't like any thing else for snack, at least I can eat the icing. I guess he feels about icing the same way I feel about cookie-dough. It's a wonderful thing!!

Audrey had a little party at school on Wednesday. They made their Valentines with pictures of all of their classmates and she has enjoyed looking through them. She is learning the names of her friends and teachers and it is so cute to see her find their Valentines in the bag and say "Hi" to all of her friends.

Chip's parents are headed to NC this weekend. We're going to his aunt's house to visit and then they'll come back to our house for a day or two. Andrew is needless-to-say "thrilled". He loves visiting Chip's aunt's house and already has packed his suitcase. Of course, we're not spending the night, but he needs a suitcase full of toys anytime we leave town.

Well, we are now back from school and Andrew has his Valentines box full of surprises. He already has them all scattered out on the floor, organizing them by which treat he wants to eat first. We took a couple pictures outside today and it is so windy (see Audrey's hair!) it was hard to get one with them both looking. Wait a minute...it's hard to get them both looking at the camera when we are inside, so I guess that excuse doesn't work. Well, we hope you all have a happy Valentines Day!

So excited about his Valentines!
