Clear Eyes, Full Hearts

This weekend was the full of the usual last-minute Valentine's Day prep.

I was so proud of Leo. He sat and wrote the names of each of his classmates. He thoughtfully selected a valentine for each of them (his whole class isn't here but you get the idea). I had the idea to attach the valentines to a larger piece of paper, since I really wanted Leo to address them, but the space provided on the cards is ridiculously tiny.

We also made cookies. As you can see, Leo is more the "taster" type than the baker. He is ALL about the frosting. Oh and look, there's the crazy hair I was talking about. I know, I know, he just looks like a cool surfer dude here but trust me. It's just about time. Next week I guarantee you'll be able to braid it. While Ellie also enjoys sampling, when it comes to decorating with candy she has the focus of an air traffic controller. With those M&M's and sprinkles, she does not mess around.

The finished product, seen along with one of the cutest little chubby hands I know.

Here's hoping your day is full of even more love than usual.
