Our Valentine's day was low key this year! I woke up cranky and tried to make up for it with pink heart pancakes and heart shaped jello. Mr. Stannix called me on his way to work to thank me for my efforts and remind me that I am a good mom (even though I wasn't feeling like it on this particular morning). The kids were happy and fed and dressed and that was all that mattered!
Camilla skipped off to the bus with heart shaped sugar cookies for her bus driver, teacher, and classmates.
Ollie fell asleep on my bed mid morning and had a nice little snooze while I showered and tidied up bedrooms.
Mr. Stannix scared me half to death when he came through the garage door half way through the day and surprised me with flowers in hand. He worked from home all afternoon and I was glad to have him home, even though he was working!
It was hard to get anything done with this sweet boy smiling on my lap all afternoon. While the big boys played I sat and stared at this growing little babe of mine!
I loved the extra love in our home today!!
The afternoon sun called us outside to play. The two littlest have pretty bad coughs still, but I knew that the fresh air would do us all good! It was perfect snowball weather and we made a nice sized fort with some neighbor boys.
It took Joe a while to learn how to start a snowball, but once he got the hang of it there was no stopping him!
This wooden sign arrived in the mail today, just in time for Valentine's! I've always wanted a sign with our wedding year on it and ordered this from Little bit of Everything out of Lacombe. I am so excited to find a place to hang it in our home!
