Cupid's Arrow Hit Our House

As you can tell from the plethora of beautiful stuffed animals, candies and balloons that were awaiting the kids this Valentine's Morning, Cupid's Arrow definitely hit our house. =)

This is the first year that both kids are aware of Valentine's Day and were excited for the special day to come. Kate learned a special song at school and sang it for us on Friday and then sang it for MiMi and PaPa as well...very sweet. I went shopping for the munchkins during the week since I needed to get gifts for their teachers (as they would miss their Valentine's parties b/c of the closing in Beeville). I got Kate and Wesley each a stuffed animal and some candy that they each like - Kate loves Andes chocolates and Wesley loves Reese's peanut butter cups! Then I had to go to HEB with Wesley on Saturday and he was in awe of all of the Valentine's merchandise so he picked out some beautiful pink tulips b/c Kate LOVES tulips and still talks about the tulips we planted in Conroe. I thought it was very nice he thought of her. Wesley also got some frogs that grow up to 4 times in size when left in water....we still have them soaking to see how big they get! Then daddy hit the store without mommy knowing and he also bought some candy and a stuffed kitty cat for his Kate and a M&M fan for Wesley. Wesley also picked out a mylar heart balloon for Kate and I sneaked one for him too (the balloons by far were their favorite sweet something...and one was let go this evening is probably wishing someone in Oklahoma a Happy Valentine's Day from Kate and Wesley!)

These were the beautiful pink tulips my little man picked out for his favorite girl!

Here are the tulips for their teachers. Wesley's teacher Miss Rebekah was celebrating her last day this week as she is leaving on a Guatemala mission with the church soon. The lavender ones are for Kate's Miss Cox....

And Kate had to make Miss Cox's card herself..its part of being a big girl =)
