Valentine Fun

We had a very fun Valentine's weekend. On Friday, Addie enjoyed her first Valentine's Day party at preschool. They had a chocolate fountain that they were able to dip marshmallows, cherries, and other things that Addie couldn't remember to tell me. They had hearts painted on their faces, and I think they all LOVED giving out valentines!

Here's Addie showing Dad her loot. I was impressed that Addie could tell us the names on each card. Her teachers must teach each child's name to all the class, because Addie was able to 'read' names that I had a hard time reading (each child wrote their own names on the cards, and they are in preschool - just imagine).



Dad's excited to spot a cool valentine.
Here's our sassy girl, trying to get her dense dad to understand just how things are. Note how many times she picks her nose in this short clip -- at least she doesn't ever sample.
Valentine's Day arrived with a fresh blanket of snow. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it! Weird, but I guess snow on a 30 degree day is a lot better than old, dirty snow on a 10 degree day. Corey is the best dad! He is willing to get cold and wet playing in the snow with the kids, and I think he loves it as much or more than they do.
Of course, as soon as I got the camera, Max fell off the sled and face-planted in the snow. After that, he was pretty well done with the snow. At least Addie was still up for a little footage.

Just before bath time, after the movie (Bolt, pretty cute), and after our takeout dinner (we have NEVER gone out for Valentine's Day, and we love it that way, braving crowds just doesn't seem romantic). The kids love to wrestle with Corey. I remember many evenings on our living room floor wrestling our dad, is it in the job description?

Happy Valentine's Day!
