So happy Valentine's Day, y'all! Yesterday the boys and I undertook one of my Valentinestravaganzas, and made really cute little candy airplanes. I got the idea from www.CrapIveMade.com, and it was a great success. We got to do a fun project together, there was something everyone could contribute, I got to use my nerd skillz... We were all thrilled with the results.
The only thing we didn't account for was breakage. Our LifeSavers did have a little trouble holding together, so we were about 8 short for Tommy's classroom. So around 11pm, I started on Tommy's valentines for his friends. They came out quick and I think they're pretty cute. They definitely reflect his personality:
It was a beautiful day, after all the hellacious snow and cold we've been having. I did the Happy Dance because I was able to do some laundry for the first time in days. This morning the boys left for school, happy in their own right for the sunshine and the bags of valentines they carried with them.
Dinner tonight was breakfast. We had scrambled eggs a la my Grandmother - fluffy and over low heat. I have no idea why she cooked them that way, and I know I could turn the heat up if I wanted to. But every time I make eggs I think of her and I just feel compelled to have that little moment with her, cooking the eggs on low. And we also had deeeelish pancakes! With marionberry syrup! From Oregon! And we had a little moment of anticipatory grieving at the inevitable time when we run out of the syrup...
But in the meantime, the boys really, really enjoyed their pancakes.
Someday I'll figure out how to post these pictures in some other way than just a running column, but tonight I'm tired. All that Valentining until 3 am, added to pancakes for dinner (even if there was plenty of protein to go with them) have made for a very sleepy chickadee. So it's not happening tonight!
