My Valentines!

Billie woke me up on Valentine's Day when she crawled into bed with me and gave me a kiss and a hug. This has become her morning routine now. She used to yell "Mama, Mama, I want up!" over and over when she would wake up. Ha Ha! I kinda miss it. They change and grow so fast!

So, when we walked into the kitchen, there were 3 dozen roses that Michael had left for me. I said, "Oh, Billie, look what Daddy left for me!" She immediately said, "Where's my surprise from Daddy?" Oops! It took several times of me telling her that Daddy would give her a surprise when he got home from work before the sad look left her face.

The girls and I delivered Valentines to all our family around today...a package of gum that said, "We Chew-se You to be Our Valentine!" If anyone's interested, Family Fun magazine has cute ideas like this for kids, holidays, parties, etc.

We have been trying to find a time to take Billie to Chuck E. Cheese's to play. This was Billie's reward from MaeMae for being potty-trained for a month. And since Michael and I had our weekend at the lodge last week, we asked MaeMae and PawPaw if they wanted to spend Valentine's night with us at Chuck E. Cheese's. :) We figured that it wouldn't be busy on Valentine's Day...boy, were we wrong. You couldn't even get in the door. Luckily, Billie was fine with us telling her we would bring her back another time. So, we let them play at McDonald's for a little while instead. And dinner was at Long John Silver's...none of us were in the mood for fighting a crowd and having to wait with two little kids. Ha! After a stop at Wal-Mart (can't go to Fort Smith without going there), we came home and gave them their gifts. All in all, it was a nice day!

Here they are, eyes closed, waiting for their Valentine gifts (notice Kyleigh's chocolate mouth). Kyleigh kept saying, "No peeking!" But, then she would open her eyes and grin real big. Talk about rotten!

Here's me with my two little sweethearts and the roses from my hubby. Didn't he do good?

And here's Daddy with his girls. Isn't that sweet?
