Valentine's Day snuck up on us this year, and we could have easily buckled from the assumed pressures of how to celebrate and what to celebrate, but we didn't. We got simple, crafty and focused on quality - and man-oh-man did it paid off! So many people miss this point of how simple and wonderful this day can be, but lucky us we've got two amazing little people to remind us, and for us to celebrate!
So, on V-day eve I found myself creating some heart garland, digging out the heart cookie cutter, and old-school style making a card for both the kids. I vowed that I would wake up before - or with - Roland and make sure he had a special breakfast - decorate your own heart-shaped pancakes. When I sleepily stumbled in upon hearing him setting up his cereal he says to me, "Mom, it's Valentine's Day - you don't have to make me breakfast, you can sleep in!" No way dude - you're gonna eat heart-shaped pancakes! And what fun - we had a blast! Here's the master chef working on his gourmet creation, please excuse all the terrible-wonderful toppings, it's a special occasion!
My Star Wars card for him, his homemade card for me!
