v-day



Just want to remember that our Valentine's day looked like this:

~Treats on the table in the morning- balloons, chocolate, books.
~Picking out red and pink clothes- Elle, pink from head to toe.  Mack, luckily found an old, red  jammie shirt         which I convinced him used to be a real, legitimate shirt.  Both were happy.  
~Finding little love notes around the house from a certain someone that made me smile all day long, especially the one complementing my ombre hair (which by the way is inadvertent).  
~Trip to McKay's preschool to go through his Valentine bag.
~Snow White, then making a huge mess in their room- which was fine because it meant they were playing.
~Pasta and chocolate fondue for dinner.
~FHE about love at home.  Wild children.
~Then Don't Eat Cupid followed by some awesome interpretive dance which I was instructed to film.  
~Missed dad who was getting blown around in the wind and rain in Newport, then spending some quality time with his second family. ;)

I was inspired today and was really able to enjoy my three little valentines.  Feeling an extra measure of patience that I've been praying for.  It was a good day.

I can't decide if the look on Layla's face is more of a McKay look or an Ellery look. You inspire me you cute mom, and you even did it with 3 kids :)
