L.O.V.E.

Valentine's was fun this year. I went to Jack's school party...so cute. The night before I helped him make his first valentine's box. It was not my best work, but he thought it was cool...so yahoo for me I guess! His party was cute. They decorated cookies and passed out valentines to each other. He decorated 2 cookies...so I asked if one was for mommy...nope he said, as he ate both of them in about 2 minutes flat. Then he leaned over and licked the frosting on the kid's cookie next to him...so he had to eat that one too.


We didn't know if we wanted to go out with the other hundreds of people going to dinner, but decide to brave it cause we didn't feel like cooking. (And by we, I mean he, cause he's a way better cook than me). We ended up at a chinese restaurant in a strip mall by our house, that has surprisingly good sushi. Who would have thought sushi in a strip mall?

I've been thinking about things I love...and mostly I just love the random everyday stuff...stuff that wouldn't mean that much to anyone else, but to me they make my days...

sunny but still cold enough for a jacket days
Randy in his new Express jeans
Jack trying to take care of Halle when she is crying
diet coke from mcdonalds
gossip magazines
reading a book in the bathtub
both kids asleep at the same time during the day
crystal light to go packets (only on days I'm trying not to drink mcdonalds diet coke!)
getting a pedicure
that Halle is starting to be a mama's girl
when Jack puts me in time out and tells me not to come out until I'm ready to listen better (hmm wonder where he got that one from?)
seeing my husband playing with our kids
getting my car washed
when Jack tells me he loves me without me saying it first
Halle's little laugh
going out to breakfast
a full night's sleep

I could go on and on...Happy Valentines!

Happy V-day. I love the Randy in Express jeans love too cute. Jack looks so big passing his Valentines out. Hallee is a mama's girl I actually love this too. My favorite is Sonic diet coke.

Sounds like you had a great Valentines.

Why dont I get to be on your list of little things you love...just cuz I got fat over the holidays and I'm not little anymore?

the shoebox is cute but why didn't you make it a ghettoblaster like in the good ol' days?

So cute Kristin! The strip mall thing sounds like something we'd do, too! (We stayed home this year). My Jack loved his Valentine's party at preschool too, but I didn't get to go to it.
