Our Valentine's Day

Hello friends! It's been awhile again...but guess what? My house is CLEAN! That's right...this pregnant mommy is finally beginning to get some energy again! SO thankful for that! Well on this Wednesday morning I would like to share a little about our Valentine's Day. It was lots of fun. We didn't do a whole lot during the day because we wanted to wait for Daniel to get home from school. Daniel had a Valentine's party at school that day. Parents were invited to come, so of course I went. Silly me forgot to take more pictures, but I did get this one of the teacher reading the kids a Valentine's book.
When we got home, the kids got to open their little Valentine's from us.

They didn't get much...just some candy and a Valentine's cup. Then we decided to make some heart cupcakes and a heart cake. The kids helped make it all (not any pictures of that as you can imagine 3 kids with eggs, flour and a blender....I couldn't really spare time for the camera). But we did get a picture of the kids licking the bowl.

Little side note....I'm sure you've noticed Lily and Austin are in their pj's. Let me just say...these 2 wear their pj's A LOT. When we are at home...especially if we stay home most of the day...they don't want to wear anything else. It's really not a battle worth fighting for me. Ok, so on with the Valentine's Day fun. Here is the finished product.

Yes, I say finished, because I realized I didn't have enough powdered sugar and butter for icing, and quite frankly didn't feel like making it anyway. They were quite delicious without the icing anyway. So Valentine's Day...or Valentine's afternoon...was a lot of fun! And..yes, my kids ate lots of candy, licked the cake batter, and ate cupcakes. I'm quite surprised they actually ate dinner. But you know, it's Valentine's Day, so that's allowed.

And by the way...this is my little belly starting to form. I am 13 weeks and this is in the morning before I had eaten. After I eat these days, my little pregnant belly turns into a big ole' pregnant belly. I guess the food doesn't have as much room to spread out. I'm really not sure, it's just my theory and the way I make myself feel better for looking way more pregnant than I should. ;)

And...to round things out, I just thought I'd share a cute little video of the kids dancing. Since it was on Valentine's Day, I thought it'd be appropriate to share with this post. These kids know how to shake it. Enjoy!
