Sunday Snapshot: {Valentines}

This afternoon, the girls and I prepped for the big day.

For the Super Bowl, you say?

Nah.


For Valentine’s Day, baby.

Any girl worth her estrogen is going to choose a day filled with candy and declarations of love over football.

A.N.Y.D.A.Y.


To bestow upon their classmates, Isabelle chose the Princess cards and Sophie chose the Tinkerbell cards.


With stickers.

And stamps.

And everything little girls simply can’t resist.


For the boys in their classes, we grabbed some Jolly R@ncher Lollipops.

Just for good measure.


Jude waited not-so-patiently to see if there would be any lollipops that strayed from the herd.

He might have scored… but he’s not tellin’.


The girls loaded up their finished Valentines into their respective bags.


All the while, dreaming of the big day.


Which definitely is not today.

Even though their dad and brothers might heartily disagree.

    This will be our first year to have some Valentine fun with a little girl in the house! But I'm still on a learning curve after 3 boys. Thanks for some insight into how these girlie things go down! Looks like fun.

    So cute!

    My girls put their valentines cards into adorable lucky money envelopes with big chocolate Chinese coins. It's fun to combine both holidays!

    Thanks for the wishes…
    It has been a while since visiting… hope life is treating you well… me, I have been busy trying to keep my mind occupied….
    I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we finally got our referral… Sometimes I feel like they got the wrong person and that we should still be waiting… but I am glad we aren't waiting much longer ๐Ÿ™‚
    Take care Fliss

    Boy you guys are way ahead of the game, my kids usually write out their cards the day before, but then again girls always love that kind of stuff. My boys are just like your Jude, they're more interested in the candy. I love the expression on his face he's so handsome, and those girls of yours are adorable!

    I have to side with the boys on this one. I'll take the Superbowl. Valentines day is one of my least favorite days of the year.

    Exactly how much do you have to shell out for all those valentines?
