Valentine's Day

  Here are just a few pictures from our Valentine's Day.

Matthew, Anna and I figured out how to make these hearts (with the help of an internet tutorial).  I was impressed how well they could do it on their first try.

 

The kids were amazed by these pink heart pancakes.  We had some berry toppings for them too.

 John liked the berry topping

 Scott got to come home a little early from work 'cause of freezing rain

He read the little boys a story when they got up from their naps.

The bus made it safely back to our neighborhood through the icy conditions and the kids were loaded down with Valentine's Day goodies!

And Scott made me chocolate covered strawberries with all different toppings as a Valentine's Day treat.  They were so good!  The Monday after Valentine's Day was originally going to be a day off school but because the school had already taken the maximum amount of snow days, the district scheduled for the kids to go to school on that President's Day holiday to make up for the missed day.  And Scott had the day off work so we planned to have a nice lunch date (as a slightly belated Valentine's Day date) with only TWO children along instead of four.  But school ended up being canceled that day anyway because of more freezing rain.  Sooo, our lunch date plans had to be postponed.  We still had a fun Valentine's Day weekend.
