My Funny Valentine's

Preppy was gone for Valentine's Day, spending it in Costa Rica, a trip I couldn't go on because of the two little kiddos. But we celebrated early, he got Jacky Bear some new Cars and Lucy a new toy and her very first dozen roses. Mike isn't a fan of all of the pictures I take but I tell him they pictures aren't for us they are for our kids:) I love looking back on all of my family pictures from when I was little and see how I was spoiled with love. 

Here are my two funny Valentine's! We had a fun day and I did lots of spoiling. I refreshed myself on the 5 love languages and tried to cover each one (Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, Physical Touch) it's pretty easy to do with little kids, but nonetheless it was a good refresher for me to be more conscious about. Jack was the man of the house and gave me lots of hugs, kisses, and "pretty mommy" comments throughout the day. Thanks little man! Of course last year the big news I broke on Valentine's was that we where expecting #2! Now this year I got to enjoy Lucy's sweet smiles, hugs, and slobbery kisses.

Reading stories is the sweetest with the two of them cuddled up in bed, Jack always tucks in Lucy with his soft blankie. He has memorized the Boat, Truck, Airplane, and Airport book and is very excited to read then to his little sister. Costa Rica will always be there, but my kids are growing up so quickly. Listening to them giggle with each other and then snuggle in between them made me realize I wasn't really missing out on anything. The little kid years are so so short. Tiring but sweet.

Preppy made sure to leave me little "happies" to enjoy on Valentine's Day! Thank you and sad we can't be spending together, but we will make it up next year.

My Valentine's Day OOTD (starting to document for Lucy because I love seeing what my Mom wore) and I made a quick trip through the drive tthru liquor store for some yummy bubbly. Only two small glasses since the kids don't sleep much and I'm all alone, but I had to prost a little something fabulous:)
