Love Day

   Valentine's Day was on a Thursday this year and we are so happy Aaron was home to celebrate it with us! Connor and Aaron both had a four day weekend, so it was almost like it was on a weekend for us. We celebrated as a family by going out to dinner and eating Chinese, my favorite type of food!

    Connor also celebrated Valentine's Day at school with his friends. I wasn't able to attend his party because siblings weren't allowed, but he said he had a lot of fun. As soon as he got home he started digging through his Valentine's to see what kind of sweets he got.

Homemade Valentine's

    Every year I like to get creative and make homemade Valentine's with the kids. This year Olivia sent out bows to her best gals {just like last year} and Connor gave out bubbles with his. I think they came out pretty cute!

Valentine's Day

    Yesterday was such a wonderful day! It was full of love, chocolate, and great news from the doctor about Olivia. Aaron's morning started at 2 when he had to wake up for a 12 mile ruck {poor guy}. The kids and I slept in until around 7:30. I surprised Connor with a special breakfast, a basket of Valentine gifts, and balloons. 

DIY Valentine's

    If you know anything about me, you know that I love doing crafts with Connor {and one of these days Olivia}. Valentine's is one of those days! Last year I made these homemade Valentine's for Connor to hand out at school. They were a hit, so I knew we needed to make something equally cute this year. I searched Pinterest with him and he decided on insect ones. The website to download the template from wasn't working, so I made them myself and they came out perfect.

Valentine's Day

    Happy Valentine's Day! I've enjoyed my day with my two Valentines and hope you have as well. We started our celebration on Sunday morning with bacon, eggs and toast, followed by homemade pop tarts. Why on Sunday and not today? Well because Aaron had to work today and Connor had school first thing in the morning, so I wanted to treat them to a good breakfast on a day that we weren't rushed. {I made enough pop tarts to last us until this morning so we could still have a Valentines{ish} breakfast on the actual day.}

The pop tarts came out pretty tasty and my boys approved {recipe found below}.

Homemade Valentines

   Valentine's Day is coming up, and my crafty side is coming out. I thought it would be fun to make some homemade Valentines for Connor to hand out to his friends. Since he is obsessed with "Army guys" and all of his friends at school have a parent in the military, I figured it would be perfect to include them in his Valentines. So cue a little Pinterest searching, and I came up with these...

Valentine's Day 2016

     It has been a week since Valentine's and I have yet to document it. We had a super relaxed day, which I was 100% okay with. It was rainy outside and Connor and I were still jet lagged for arriving back form the states just 2 days prior.

Happy Valentine's Day!

     We have been snowed in the last few days, but thankfully I was able to get the boys a a little something at the beginning of the week. Connor got stuff that he needed: yogurt bites, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a sippy cup, paci's, and pajamas.
