Valentines '11

I love Valentines Day. It's such a pick-me-up in the middle of the worst month of the year (in my opinion). The month where winter just kind of seems to be dragging on and on and all you want is some warmer weather and some seeds to plant...and yet there is still so long to wait.

What am I talking about? I live in Phoenix. None of that applies. I guess it's my default after a lifetime of dark and dreary Washington winters. Well, I still love Valentine's Day.

We've done lots of the faves this year. Lots of heart-y crafts. Heart shaped pancakes. Heart shaped cookies. Pink and red candy. Giant teddy bears. Roses. And our traditional scavenger hunt (for all the boys). This year for our dinner I made homemade pizza pockets which were more or less a hit. And for me, Rand gave me the go ahead for the chicken coop I've been planning for the last few years. I'm pretty pumped about it. :) Bring on spring!!!
