Will you be my valentine?

Happy Valentine's Day! While Steve and I are past the point of celebrating this day (were we ever there?), we now celebrate it through the girls.

 We began the day with a Valentine's themed breakfast.  Okay, it's just heart shaped toast and I know it's not nearly as good as what my rock star sister-in-law creates (see Bobbi's Bentos for proof), but it's impressive for a totally not creative math nerd such as myself.

Lucy seems to enjoy it.

Lucy and I also spent last night getting her valentines ready for her classmates.  I would love to say that I was a crafty mom who helped her daughter create handmade valentines, but instead I am just proud that I bought the pre-made ones at Target two weeks ago.

Side note: the past two years I have had the scarring experience of frantically searching CVS for some girly valentines the night before the big day. Another note:  this is not a successful strategy.

Anyway, Lucy and Caroline's had a Valentine's Day celebration and PJ day at school today. They celebrated with pancakes and hot chocolate as well. Best day ever?

Ready to go to school in their PJs!

My day was made even better by the great women who work at Lucy and Caroline's school.  As I was about to walk out they handed me these beautiful handmade "flowers" from Caroline:

How cute is that?
