Oh Valentine, Thy Names Are Snow, Cold, and Lovely

I couldn't have asked for a nicer day than today. It was a snow day, so we were at home staying warm and toastie. Then we froze our rear's off outside as we shoveled, threw snow balls, and went sledding. I wish I had picts, but alas my camera is lost in hotel-land/road-trip-land some where between Ohio and here, so there you go.
Since, the girls haven't actually started school yet, I stole Jessica's "5 Days of Love" idea and made it the girl's special project. Except we had "4 days of love", which was perfect as we used each letter as a day, with a corresponding treat. Sunday was "Lemon" cupcakes, with a strawberry on top. Monday, "Orange" Gatoraide (with a Valentinese label glued on), Tuesday, we had gum to take away bad breath "vapors", and Today we made Valentines and coupon books for "Everyone". It was fun.
Today was also a lovely day as Derek surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, the prettiest I've ever gotten actually. He picked them up from a florist down the street (whose shop is so cute, so I'm not surprised by the bouquet). I'm so glad we had a wonderful day together, as a family.
Plus.....Loved this Valentine!

i'm so glad you had fun with valentine's day. i think that is such a cute idea to have each letter correspond with the day.
