Valentine's Day

We had a cupid's workshop in our kitchen through the first half of February. The boys, especially Thomas, made several valentines. I (perhaps unwisely) brought out a few rubber heart stamps and stamp pads, which were a huge hit. So popular, in fact, that Thomas started pressing the stamp pad against his lips and nose. That was the end of the stamp pads!

Enjoying heart-shaped suckers. Did you know that Valentine's Day now rivals Halloween as a candy-giving holiday? TJ exchanged valentines at preschool and 75% of them came attached to candy. I was the boring mom--TJ's were only paper. And also the no-fun mom--about three-quarters of that candy ultimately got thrown out.

Grown-up Valentine's Day: a delicious dinner and a bottle of wine. Kathy joined us for sausage, spinach and butternut squash-filled cannelloni and chocolate raspberry brownies. Yum!!
