Happy Valentines Day!

While I worked on the evening of Valentines day, Kayli's babysitter helped her make this cute Valentines house...

Kayli also made me this nice picture to let me know that she and Sprinkles love me!

Kayli was thrilled when I told her I bought her a "Wild Kratts" DVD as a Valentine surprise. She loves watching this show, which is all about wild animals and their habitats. The Wild Kratts are two humorous brothers that take you on adventures as they teach you about the various animals. I surprised her with this present when I arrived home from work at 8:30 p.m. So, of course we stayed up late to watch almost all of the episodes on this exciting new DVD...

and, the next morning, after "sleeping in", we started our morning with pink pancakes...

and a small surprise package of goodies for Kayli...

the little "rag doll" is filled with rice, which can be heated in the microwave. This makes her a great warm "snuggle friend" in the winter!
Kayli's school had their Valentines parties earlier this week, on the 12th, since parent-teacher conferences were on the 14th. As usual, there was lots of yummy treats, and the room parents planned some very cute/fun games like this "pass the hula hoop while holding hands" game...

 and then, this little boy is thinking "hmmm, I've got the hula hoop, what can I do with it now?"

"Aha, I caught Kayli in my hoop!"

here is Kayli's desk with all her "loot"...

and here's the "magic heart" art project they did using painters tape, where you paint over the tape then peel it off after the paint dries, and voila...

Happy Valentines Day!
