Valentine's Day kind of crept up on our household last week which resulted in scrambling to make valentines for kindergarten, early-morning-before-work trips to the grocery store for more candy, searching the highways and byways for a babysitter and last minute dinner reservations! Phew!
These were the little Love Bug Valentine's that Sawyer ended up taking to Kindergarten for his little buddies. I think they turned out SO CUTE!

| Working VERY hard at addressing each and every one! |
Total horrible mom moment: I only planned out Valentine's for Sawyer-I TOTALLY forgot about Raylan! How awful is that??? So Sawyer helped me out by addressing ones for Raylan to pass out at our Day Care party later on that day. I have two kids now. TWO kids. Remember that Carrie, two kids.
We started out the morning with a yummy Valentine's Day breakfast along with cards and gifts*
It makes Bill and I so incredibly happy to see how much Sawyer and Raylan love each other already! Sawyer just can't keep his hands off of him-he's always hugging and kissing him and man handling him a bit too! Raylan's eyes just light up when Sawyer walks in and he squeals in delight! I just hope and pray that his brotherly bond lasts forever*
After breakfast Sawyer bounded off to school with his bag of Love Bugs, plates and napkins for his school party and Valentine bags for both his teachers. Miracle of miracles, it all ended up making it to the classroom in one piece!
Meanwhile back at home, the kiddos and I spent a good part of the day making sugar cookies and cupcakes for our party. While they went down for their afternoon naps, I made some cute little favors for our friends who came over for dinner on Valentine's evening.
It was called Love Potion no. 9. WARNING: Consuming may result in hot, passionate romance. :)
In the afternoon, we had our Day Care party and the kiddos tanked up on lots of pink and red sugary treats! They passed out their Valentines and and did a little 'love' craft too.
Raylan pretends to be single but we all know he's got girlfriends coming outta the woodwork.
All's well that ends well! So thankful for the wonderful family and friends that God has given me and it was a great day to remember to how much I really love them. And as full as my heart feels towards them it pales in compassion to the never-changing perfect love that God has for us. Wow.
