i sooooo made you a valentine...


that's what Hayley said

to the nice {but pretty cute} repair guy that came to our home on Thursday...

he must have made an impression on her
as....

my daughter wanted to sooooo give you a valentine
that already had someone else's name on it

 

and she called him "tootie"
{her term of endearment for people she really likes}


apparently daddy now feels the need to have a talk
with our almost 3-year-old

I told him "good luck with that one"
{chuckle}


as she's "the one" when you have talks with her

it's.in.one.ear.and.out.the.other
just like her daddy...
did I really just say that?
oops, I did...
{I'm smiling}

I better be kidding...
it's valentines weekend
and I better be on my best behavior
if I want date night to happen tonight


I told him...
"at least she has pretty good taste, right?"

Bobby didn't really like me saying that
for some reason
as he got all in a frenzy

I then said...
the repair guy told me he had a 3-year-old son

Bobby said
"Martha!"

I said... "what?"

and Bobby walked away
and I laughed
he knows I say those things just to get under his skin
{btw...it works everytime I try}



so our annual "homemade" valentines are now finished



glue
hearts
glitter
stickers
crayons
and pens


yesterday they were stamped and sent to our family
the girls had so much fun making them


me...I should have did a pre-set up of the supplies
I will not set up as we go next time

note for next time: it is a decorating disaster if I don't plan ahead
and there is glitter all over the house
even though we were at one table doing the glitter

all I have to say is...

at least it's not marker on our walls

or

at least it's not play doh
so we're good

when I asked Hayley to be herself for a few pictures...
this is what I got


silly faces
that's soooo her

meet Mrs. Fish and Mrs. Monkey


Happy early love day!
