Happy Valentines Day


Yesterday we had watercolor painting lessons and Daddy joined in. The story I told is as follows:

One day the sun was shinning so brightly in the sky. (start with painting a yellow circle in the middle of the paper.) It warmed the Earth and a few of the Fairies woke up also knowing that a special day was coming up. One little fairy wearing her finest red dress emerged in the sunlight and started dancing in the warmth of the sun ( paint red all around the yellow). Soon she twirled and danced and gave the sun a big hug ( take the red and slowly circle around in the yellow) The fairy soon saw something magical was happening. A heart appeared around her and the sun and a new friend had joined them wearing an orange dress. ( we dried off our brushes and drew a heart around the sun - lifting off the color).

Ryan and I also spent sometime last night drawing valentines for everyone. We woke this morning to find treats that daddy had left out for us. I received some beautiful red Gerber Daisies and some chocolate. He also made some of his delicious cinnamon rolls. Yumm.


For the kids he drew these great cards:
for Ryan,For Sage,
We headed out to Sage's bball game where he had an awesome game. We tried to head down to New Haven to see some ice sculptures, but there was nothing there - bummer. So instead we stopped by the Sleeping Giant and did some light hiking . It felt so good to be out and hiking!!! Most of the snow is gone here so I do not have to risk falling in the ice of snow. Although Sage did slip and fall in the mud - and Tony kept reminding me that could of been me - he was not to thrilled with my wanting to hike - but I know I wont fall - I am still sturdy on my feet for being 8 1/2 months preggo!
