Sunday morning funnies...the kids love tickling Daddy. He indulges them with great big belly laughs that are really convincing...but if you really want to get him, go for the feet!

Evidence of someone...I can always tell where Natalie has been playing. She loves to collect miscellaneous stuff in bags and purses and then dump it out or line it up in random places. Todays activities involved dumping the contents of three purses in the oven of her little kitchen. She said she was putting it all in the dishwasher to get it clean. She is a different breed than her brother. He's much tider and better at putting things away. She gets upset to find her piles have been put away....but on the bright side, she loves to clean toilets!

With Valentine's coming up, I thought I'd write a few love notes:
Bryan,
3 things I love about you:
1. Your happiness and desire to jostle a smile or laugh out of others with silliness, jokes, and endless teasing.
2. Your love for me and your flattering compliments even when I feel like a frumpy house wife at the end of the day.
3. Your kindness and sensitivity.

Benjamin,
3 things I love about you:
1. Your curiosity and inquisitiveness about everything in life...despite the hundreds of questions each day.
2. Your kindness and love...I love your snuggles and cuddles.
3. Your endless energy and love of life.

Natalie,
3 things I love about you:
1. Your contagious giggles and smiles and silly faces and sayings that make me laugh.
2. Your sweet, little girly ways...playing with babies and kitchens, carrying purses, wearing lipgloss and nail polish, loving princesses.
3. Your kisses and snuggles.

It was Ben's valentine's party at school today. We had a fun time playing Bingo, decorating cookies and doing a few Valentine's centers. Bryan and Natalie were some of my great helpers!

Love Day! We celebrated by giving the kids a small gift and having a fun Valentine's dinner together. We gave Natalie a Snow White dress up outfit and Ben a Star Wars ship. When Ben opened his, in his childhood honesty responded by saying: "well, it's not what I wanted but it's what you got, so..." I laughed and laughed at that. Luckily he ended up loving the toy despite having a different idea about what it was. I think he thought it was going to be like Christmas. Natalie, on the other hand, opened her and immediately dressed up in it and responded with: "I'm going dancing!" What fun memories!
