For the Love!

Brad left for Louisiana this morning so we celebrated Valentines last night.

We ate baked spaghetti (it's red, right?), dipped stuff in chocolate,

and wrote each other valentines.

It was most fun!

Grant made a weapon out of his pretzel stick and strawberries.

So loving.

Parker turns Cupid on us.

Anna's sweet Valentines outfit. (Thanks Aunt Lisa!)

Overheard

Grant: "I LOVE pizza and ranch."

Parker: "If you love it, then why don't you marry it?"

Grant: "Eh, I'll just marry TV."

Heaviest Jacket

Grant: "Mom, I need to wear my heaviest jacket."

Me: "OK."

Grant: "Do you know why I put all those acorns in my pockets?"

Me: "Why?"

Grant: "To make my jacket heavier."

Makes sense.

The Sixers

Parker has long been waiting for basketball season and it finally arrived!

When it appeared that the team was going to be huge,

Brad volunteered to be coach so the kids could have more playing time.

Brad has had a really great time with it and plans to do it again.

Huddle Up!

My favorite part from the last game was the score: 6-3

Sixers take it handily!

P.S. Brad wore the hat against my wishes

Rewind!

Just got these fun pictures from Christmas time!

Meet our new friends, the Zepfs!

We meet a couple of months ago and our life has been infinitely more fun ever since!

Tea Party

Here are the cakes!

The Tablescape:

Anna celebrated her 4th year with a few friends!

Complete with feather boas, white gloves, and jewels, Anna was so excited!

Lady Kate came as the Princess Hostess and made the cakes.

Manis and pedis for all attendees.

Notice the tiara headband. LOVED it.

Princess Kate serving the ladies.

Older girls demonstrating proper tea party manners.

(i.e. sit up straight, elbows off table, pinky finger outstretched)

The younger girls were not watching....

Library Selection

This is the book that Grant picked at the library today.

I don't know why, it just seemed so "Grant" to me.
