Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope everyone had a great V-day today! We did...
Josh eating Snoopy treats out of his Valentine's bag...before breakfast!
His train card that toots its own little internal horn...he loved it!
A sidewalk chalk set...there's chalk and different holders for it...it's actually pretty cool. We're hoping to try it out soon, as he's pretty anxious to play with it. It was rainy all day today though, so I told him we'd have to wait for the sun to come out...tomorrow, hopefully. Then AJ broke into the song from Annie, and I picked it up, and Josh kept wanting me to sing it, and when I finished, he'd look outside for the sun, didn't see it, so he'd ask me to sing it again!! Funny kid, I think he thought the song might make the sun come back out...it was night, and pitch black at this point.
Opening his present this morning...the dog is the one he picked out in the store a couple of weeks ago...he really really wanted the giant frog, but it was as big as he was, and I didn't think we really needed a giant frog in our house...
Finding the Snoopy treats
OK...this requires some explanation. We were invited to a little Valentine's Party thrown by one of our friends...she has a two year old and a four year old and wanted to do something special for them...and they wanted to do crafts and fun stuff to celebrate. So she decided to decorate the house and have a party. There were two other little girls there, about the same ages as her kids...and Josh and I. It was fun...made me feel a little deficient, but hey, that's ok!
Anyway, the kids got to decorate cookies with frosting and sprinkles...this is Josh finishing up his cookie...he was the messiest one there, as usual...
However, as you can tell from the grin, he had a great time!
Attempting to spread the frosting
They also made little "heart animals" that Anne-Marie had all cut out, labeled, and put in individual baggies for each child. They used double sided tape to stick the wings down...that was an interesting sight! But they all had fun doing it!
Josh loves sit-n-spins currently...here he is playing with theirs...
Craft time
Playing balloons...Josh had no interest in the balloons at all...

He was WAY more into the shiny necklaces! He had all of them around his neck at one point...this is only about half.

We had a lot of fun...thanks Anne-Marie, for having us over to play! After the crafts and cookies we got to play in the backyard, and they have a gravel pit under their swing set...Josh was in heaven! He loves rocks and he scooped them and dumped them and carried them around forever! We don't have pix of that...I had forgotten my camera inside. Sorry!

Anyway, I also forgot to take a picture of my beautiful flowers from my husband...yellow tulips and pink/yellow roses! So sweet! AJ and I kind of took it easy today...we cleaned up the toys and the kitchen, and then kind of vegged all day...caught up on some TV shows that we tape during the week, and I got to have a nap on the couch while he watched a program and Josh had his nap (yes, he actually slept today!!). However, Josh forgot that he was potty trained (more or less) this afternoon...he had to have his pants changed 3 times, plus he knocked over my coke glass at lunch...it wasn't all lovely, but we had a good family day. Great dinner: Steaks that my wonderful husband grilled for us, and baked potatoes and fresh green beans. Chocolate Pie for dessert...yum! It was excellent! And now I'm off to bed...it's already not Valentine's Day anymore, though it was when I started this post!
