Valentine's Day

Henry celebrated Valentine's Day with his classmates on Friday.  Everyone brought Valentines.  Henry's included a "bouncy ball".  He was pretty excited.  He carefully signed each one, using pink marker for the girls and red marker for the boys (his idea). Henry gave Ms. Libbie and Ms. Chantele some chocolates. He came home from school with a gift from the class, a painted plate to thank me for being the Room Mom.

On Saturday, the boys woke up to Valentines and heart shaped pancakes (and I woke up to roses). While Peter napped that morning, Henry and John baked cupcakes. They are not easily persuaded to try new things, so no one was willing to lick the bowl. Joke's on them. They didn't have any problem eating the frosting or sprinkles though. At one point, John offered to lick Henry's hand clean of frosting. And then asked for, "just one more bite?"

For dinner we enjoyed our thirteenth Valentine's Day at Cracker Barrel. It was Peter's first time, and he was a natural born biscuit eater.  Henry enjoyed his biscuit, too.  But coming in first place, with three biscuits consumed, and still your champion, John.
