There was a time when Valentine's Day meant getting all dressed up and going to a fancy restaurant, just me and Abe. But that was before baby # 1 and baby #2 came along! Now, Valentine's Day means exchanging cute cards, and maybe getting some take-out to eat AT HOME! We don't dare take a 2 year old and a 1 year old to a restuarant where there may even be the remote possibility of having to wait for our food. Alex is at the age where he'll usually wait pretty patiently as long as he has some coloring or a car to play with,but Amaya is at the crazy stage! The stage where she drops utensils, crayons, cups, menus, etc. to experiment with the laws of gravity (more possibly to experiment with the law of who will pick it up for me this time???) She also doesn't like to wait for food, and can't keep herself entertained for long and can't sit still for long either. Therefore, we picked up some Mexican food, cooked spaghetti for the kids and dined together at our kitchen table for V-day! Then we gave the kids their Valentine's treats- a pez dispenser for both kids, a teddy bear for Amaya and a pretty messy cupcake for Alex. We had a cookie for Maya, but she didn't want it after knawing on her pez candy I broke up for her! We had a fun Valentine's Day at home this year, and hope you did too!
Amaya with her V-day gifts--a pez and a teddy bear!
Alex showing off his pink heart-covered pez dispenser!
They came home with balloons from daycare--oh joy!
Amaya eating some oranges for dessert
Too cute in this outfit--rocking some skinny jeans! But on Amaya of course, they are baggy! lol
Our new deck was our V-day present to each other and it was completed just in time--on Valentine's Day!
