I love you "toe" much

Awww! Its Valentine week! Not that I get "into" the whole commercialism holiday manufactured by Hallmark but I do LOVE getting into the spirit of showing my family how much I love them. And since I decided that this week's homeschooling theme would revolve around pink and hearts and love, what better thing to do than spend the day making homemade Valentine's for daddy?

This little piggy wanted to say "I love you"

I might not be able to convince PorkChop that finger paint on his hands is ok, but apparently, finger paints on the piggies is very much ok with him. He sat and giggled and played with the paint and had a wonderful time creating his first Valentine card for his daddy. SweetPea thought that it was pretty fun too, getting to dip her tootsies in pink paint and then creating a heart for her daddy. She even caught onto the pun, which really surprised me! She didn't find it very humorous but she caught it without being told.

I also made SweetPea VERY happy today by perfecting a recipe for chocolate buttercream frosting for her birthday cupcakes. Oh my goodness... her birthday is TOMORROW!! I think that I am going to just not think about it and instead, focus on Valentine's day instead. Maybe then it won't hit me that my baby girl is four until closer to my birthday.... or Easter... or maybe Memorial Day.
