Happy Valentine's Day! Saturday morning the boys woke up to a bunch of hearts that lead from their bedroom to the kitchen table where their valentines were waiting for them. Each boy (Russ included) had a small valentine as a place mat for breakfast and little gift. Cole got a pair of sunglasses (that he has been asking for) and a pez (his favorite treat right now). Garrett got a Tonka garbage truck. Russ got a bunch of treats. Grandpa and Grandma Guymon sent a zebra and tiger cup full of animals, a small beach ball, and lady bugs that do tricks for the boys and a platter that says, "Home - where you are always loved" for Russell and I. Grandpa and Grandma Jacobson sent the traditional valentine with money for each of the boys and money for Russ and I, along with an "UnValentine" book. All of the valentines were on the table and the boys were thrilled to open them. Russ made pink waffles and even made a heart waffle for me!
After Garrett went down for his morning nap, Cole and Russ went to play in the snow and even made a small snowman (the snow here isn't great packing snow, so they did great with what they had to work with). Cole was decked out in all of his snowgear (thanks, Aunt Teresa!), complete with sunglasses. When Garrett woke from his nap he watched them play from the glass door, with his nose pressed against it. It was just a little too cold for him to go out. While the boys played outside and before Garrett woke from his nap, I was able to play with my new digital scrapbooking program (thanks again, Karen!!). I think I am addicted to digital -- there is no mess, I can do it while the boys are around (and don't have to worry about who has grabbed the scissors off of the table), and the pages turn out far better than I could have made them look. Plus, you can manipulate the pictures and get exactly what you want. It's fantastic! Too bad that I printed two years worth of pictures before we moved that I will have to do the "old way"! I love traditional scrapbooking, so it will be fun to do both!
All in all, it was a great day for Cupid at our house!

Looks like fun! You are always doing such cute things. I love your scrapbook page, I really want to learn to digital scrapbook - then I might actually keep up :) Hope things are going well!
What a fun day!
It looks like you had a great day! I love digital scrapbooking too. I can do it when Malyn is sleeping and when she wakes up, all I have to do is click save. No mess!! Sorry we didn't visit when we were in Iowa. Kyle's sister went out of town for a week and I watched her kids. I was only there for a week and a half and it was kind of crazy. But, we might end up in Iowa. Kyle has ranked them number one. We will find out on March 19th if we are coming there. I will let you know when we find out.
Okay Katrina! How on earth do you find time to do all of these cute little things? I used to try to do those fun holiday things, but I have just become a Scrooge! My poor kids don't get any of the fun surprises anymore. Your boys are so lucky!
Looks like you had a great Valintines. Tell Russ I got his message but It was to late to call I will have Clark call him tomarrow
