Happy Valetine's Day!, February 14

Today's picture; a valentine from the boys to you. We celebrated by making special Valentine's Day cupcakes. The boys helped mix the batter and watched Momma pour it into the little paper cups. Liam did an amazing job frosting the cupcakes with me. He was so patient, I was blown away. I started by letting him help me frost a special cupcake just for him. He did such a good job with his I let him help me frost the rest. And then the came the real fun, SPRINKLES. Not just any sprinkles, but pink, red, and white sprinkles with little hearts mixed in. Quite festive.
Liam had even more fun delivering the cupcakes than making them. We brought them to some of our neighbors along with the valentines we'd made the day before. He was also sure to save a few for Memere when she came over. He was quite disappointed we couldn't bring any to Grandma. I tried to explain why a trip to Florida to deliver cupcakes wasn't in the budget, but he wasn't buying any of it. Happy Valentine's Day!

Getting Crafty, February 13

We got down with some crafts today. It was Liam's first foray into making valentines. Connor, really, was just along for the ride. As soon as Liam saw the crayons and construction paper he was excited. When he saw the stickers he did the happy dance. When he found out paint was involved..you would have thought it was Christmas. Liam worked tirelessly on his valentines, only stopping to hear what step came next. Connor helped a bit, but was way more into the rice krispies treat than the project. Either way, we had a great afternoon. Memere, Aunt Doris, and Ava even came over to join in the fun.
