Valentine's Day Surprise

Aaron came back into town Friday night and was home for Valentine's Day. We woke up for heart scones and all the heart stuff you can imagine. I had made them all pajamas. Allison was so excited to have what she calls her "pink princess dress" and David kept running around saying "arghh". David wanted Aaron to have matching ones, so they both have pirates.

It was fun to go to Playhouse Disney Live for Valentine's Day too. David was so excited he couldn't wait for the show to start. Allison got into it and was dancing and singing along with the Little Einsteins.

But her favorite came when Mickey Mouse and Minnie came out and did the hot dog dance. David just wants to go to Disneyland now and see them.

Lipstick

Allison has been known to find make up and feels free to put it on. At Christmas she was at my sister-in-laws house and found some foundation and came out to show us all with the bottom of her face covered. So when the other day she found lipstick and came to show me it was no surprise. I was impressed she got it on her lips, and only her lips. However, it is now sitting higher up so she can't reach it.

Home Depot Day

Before Aaron left he was able to take David to Home Depot to build his treasure. David had Clifford for the week from his preschool class. We had to outfit Clifford to go. Luckily we have plenty of orange aprons and Clifford went without getting dirty. Allison got in on the fun and her doll had an apron too.

David

Last week before Aaron left for his week long conference we were running errands and ran into Goodwill to drop some stuff off. David found these and was laughing hysterically. He told me he HAD to have them. His laugh convinced me.

He has had lots of fun making crazy faces and pretending to be a clown, an inspector, you name it!

rocket

The other day we were preparing for some little friends of Allison's to come over for a day of fun with the letter R. David thought it would be much more fun if we had a rocket to play in. Luckily we had a few boxes that hadn't made it to the recycling bin yet.

With a lot of duct tape a rocket was ready for all the friends to come and blast away.

It does go up at the top and looks rocketish with a slight slant. The kids are loving it and going on adventures to space each day. I just don't know how long I can handle it sitting in the middle of the room.

what a day

David had quite the day. He has been wanting to get his own library card for sometime and today was the day! He had to be able to write his first and last name. He has carried that card around to show everyone. I am afraid he will lose it, but he assures me he won't.

After checking out his books he was so excited, he said, "Mom, I need another picture with my books."

The afternoon was full of fun with a field trip to the children's museum with David's preschool. David was having so much fun all the pictures I got were a blur as he ran from one thing to the next. Allison came, found a baby and then went on to explore. See if you can find the doll in each picture.
