Little Sweethearts

Another busy week has passed! Last Friday we celebrated Valentine's Day at LL's school with her class. Here she is putting her Valentine's cards into her friends' bags. Assisting her is Ms. Evans, aka "Ms. Heavens," which AG continues to call her over a year and a half after she began preschool in the same class. On the way to the party that day AG said something about Ms. Heavens and LL finally said, "It's Ms. Evans, not Ms. Heavens." I'm not sure if AG even hears the difference, but even if so, I think old habits will be hard to break...and with such a sweet mistake, neither I nor Ms. Evans really cares!


We made sugar cookies the day before to take to the party (we rolled out the dough and cut out hearts to ice and sprinkle, but I bought the dough...I won't compete with Nana's excellence at the homemade ones!:)


One day AG had one of those ideas for making a surprise she just had to carry out right then. She gathered supplies, worked secretively in another room, then finally asked for some help because she wanted to make elephant ears and was having trouble cutting them the same size. Here the finished product after our hasty collaboration:


Three doodle bugs!


We recently increased the teddy bear/Pooh population at our house when Aunt Nanoo passed along some treasured friends. The girls quickly adopted them and love to make them a part of their playtimes. On this day they'd decided that each one (bears and girls!) would be a member of a beloved family in our church with 7 kids!
