Valentine's Day!

Capiz shell hearts that are hanging over the dining table.  This is the extent of our Valentine's decor this year.  Love the simplicity of them. 

 Wish I could send these pink tulips to you!  I've enjoyed fresh cut flowers lately - dreaming of a little spring.

Our youngest turns 10 today!  Two ten year-olds under one roof for a week.  Me-oh-my!  Time is a flyin'!

♪ Happy Birthday, Boo ♪

It was a good one, in spite of being sick.

Our Valentine

Here's our Valentine with her classmates today. I went down to the school to have lunch with her and play a little at recess. I got there in time to help make 100 Valentine's for the care center across the street. This is such a great age! All the kids think you're the best and Mrs. Hansen this, Mrs. Hansen that.

Brooklyn's teacher and class sang her happy birthday...Brooklyn started to not feel well during lunch and rapidly got worse. She went down to the office to have her temperature taken and sure enough, she had a fever of 100.7. What a day to feel awful! We quickly handed out her mini cupcakes, heart cookies and Capri Sun's for her birthday, she rounded up the Valentine's she got from the students and treats from the teacher, and we headed home. She has some Tylenol in her now and is content to be in bed looking through her Valentine envelope to see all her goodies.

♪ Happy #8 Brooklyn ♪

We hope she's feeling better tomorrow. She was supposed to get her birthday pictures taken. What timing! We'll have two eight year-olds in the house again for a week! What fun!

♥Happy Valentine's Day ♥

to all of you! We hope you get to spend it with those you love!

♥♥ One Happy Girl ♥♥

Look what the UPS man just brought mere moments ago. . . . .

Aunt Marge in AZ is officially the coolest great-auntie a little girl could have! Brooklyn is literally hugging her new quilt, jumping up and down around the house, squealing "I love it! I love it! I love it!".
Mommy is of the same frame of mind. Isn't it adorable??? I ♥ the fabrics Aunt Marge used. I'd be hard-pressed to even pick a favorite. The polka dot border, the pink heart embroidery, ALL of it ~swoon~. This woman has awesome talent! Every time I visit my cousins' homes, they have another beautiful quilt she's done for them or one of the kids.
She couldn't have made a more perfect quilt for Miss Brooklyn. Pink and brown are the colors in her bedroom, she loves pink, the ♥'s are perfect for a girl born on Valentine's Day, and I could go on and on!

Thank you, Aunt Marge!!!

PS Aunt Marge's birthday was yesterday so I'm feeling a little guilty she sent someone a gift on her birthday.
