So I guess it's a really good thing we celebrated Valentine's a little early because Hudson ended up being sick! Poor kid, but hopefully he will get better soon.
Last week I tried my hand at making heart shaped cupcakes for the kids at my mom's- most of them actually turned out ok! I also put up a few decorations, and even made heart shaped waffles one night! I don't know why, but I think Valentine's is really fun- maybe because my favorite color is red.
Abe and I went out to dinner and a movie on Thursday. We were able to do it pretty cheap because we used a giftcard for dinner and went to see a free movie (Abe gets tickets to preview movies before they come out), and since it was at Harkins we got free popcorn with Abe's shirt and $1 drinks with their cups!We never really do a lot for eachother on Valentines, just keep it simple. Abe brought me home a rose (pictured above) and we exchanged cards and candy. Hudson got a sock monkey and Elmo flashlight from us (thanks to Abe's awesome garage saleing.... I am glad Hudson doesn't care if things are brand new! I guess he really doesn't know the difference.... yet) My mom also got him a really cute shirt. I wanted to take some cute pics of him in a red shirt, but he wasn't really feeling up to it- I guess we'll have to do that next year.
We also had a BBQ with come friends last weekend. Jessica made some heart shaped sugar cookies for the kids to decorate.
Hudson just kept stabbing his cookie with his knife... then he decided to taste the frosting... I helped him spread on the frosting so he could decorate it. I thought it was hilarious, though, because he wouldn't actually put the candy on the cookie because he just wanted to eat it!
We had a great time with all of our friends!Hope your Valentine's day was fun!
PS- I forgot to mention about his hoodie- he ALWAYS wants to wear his "hat" when he has his jacket on. I was so surprised he still had his jacket on in the house (it's usually the first thing to come off), but for some reason he kept it on and so he also kept his hood on! Silly boy :)

I am loving his hoodie and cookie decorating skills!
I love your heart food! Valentines is SO fun! My favorite color is pink so I think Valentines is extra fun too!
Evergreen misses you guys! (:
I love love love the middle picture with the knife. What kind of face is that? That is awesome!
You are so creative. I am glad you had a good Valentines. I am so grateful Benson doesn't care if his toys are new or used either. Everything he got for Chirstmas was from garage sales also.
I really like the heart shaped cupcakes, how did you do it? did you have a heart shaped pan? You're so thoughtful!
