Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!

This morning our Valentine's Day activities continued. We went to Michael's for Kids Craft Day with the girls in Katherine's ballet class, and she made the most wonderful, glittery, bright red and covered in ribbon heart key holder I've ever seen in my life! LOL!! At her request, I wrote in bright pink paint pen "my heart belongs to Daddy". She wants her Daddy to bring it to work and hang in his office so that he doesn't lose his keys because mommy isn't there to take care of everything. LOL! Isn't she precious???? I, of course, think it's a fabulous idea! Matt *should* bring it to work! he-he-he!

When Matt and I were talking about Valentine's gifts, I told him that I didn't want flowers -- I'd rather have the Cricut, which for all of you non-scrapbookers, is a super-dooper cool machine that cuts out fonts, shapes, etc... And yes, for all you doubting Toms -- it blows flowers out of the water! And since diamonds weren't a choice this year, I took the next best thing! LOL. That {bleeping} transmission!

One more cute Katherine story for you... Last weekend, I decided that the steps needed to be vacuumed and it just couldn't wait. So while the kids played with Matt, I pulled out the vacuum, and went about my business. When I was finished, I sat at the bottom of the steps for about 20 seconds before Katherine came over. She looked at me and started laughing. Here's the conversation--

K: Mommy, why are you in time-out?
M: I'm not in time out honey, I'm just sitting here.
K: But Mommy, that's the time-out spot and you're in it.
M: Well honey, I guess Mommy just needs a time-out every once in a while too.
K: But Mommy you didn't do anything wrong.
M: Honey, I do a lot of things wrong.
K: Oh no you don't Mommy. You're the "goodest" woman I've ever met.
M: Thank you Sweetie!
K: (Laughing) This is sooooo funny mommy. I've never seen a mommy in time-out before!

How adorable is she???

Tomorrow while Katherine is in preschool, Caleb and I are going to get his 17 month pictures taken. I can't believe my baby is that old already! Where does the time go? If I can get them scanned, I'll post them tomorrow. He's wearing his little brown cords and matching sweater. Soooo cute!

Caleb was a little stinker today. As I was cleaning up the toys in the living room, Caleb kept trying to tackle me. He'd pull himself up on my back, grab my shirt and laugh until it hurt. So, of course, I played with him on the floor for about 20 minutes before cleaning up. When I turned away from him, he yelled "GEEEEEEZZZ" (I have NO idea what he was trying to say), and grabbed my underwear and pulled it as hard as he could. My 17 month old is giving me wedgies! And the little stinker knew what he was doing, because he'd let out this fully belly laugh! What's up with that???? LOL!
