The boys are jazzed, they know it’s just one more goodnight before Valentine’s Day. We worked diligently on our Valentines cards last night and I have to say they are pretty damn good. I can’t say it was a fun project, with 3 control freaks all trying to run the show and Dee and I struggling to get a finished product that actually looked like a Valentine, there were battles. Levi wrote his name on ALL the ones for school and the homemade ones (for the cousins, grandparents and godmas) and I was highly impressed with how legible it was. We did the “I write in yellow, Carlos writes over the top” trick and got Carlos to sign all of his. Dee wrestled and tried to guide Trey’s hand to write his name but that lasted all of 2 cards and we just wrote his. Seriously, 2 year old giants have NO interest in signing their name on a Valentine’s Day card. The cards came out looking like a heart sticker factory exploded on them, but that’s what it’s all about.

We may be getting a new foster baby (Baby X) in the next couple days. We’re waiting for him to be release from the hospital. He’s older but preemie so newborn size and I went to visit him yesterday at the hospital. What an angel. It was a treat to hold him and feed him, a nice quiet break from the chaos that is our lives. Thank you Nana for hanging with the boys while I got some baby time.

Busy day today with speech, taking Trey to the pool, coffee with Maymay and a conference with the boy’s teacher this afternoon. Oh, and making our Valentine’s cookies…yum…gotta have those!
