Happy Hearts Day!!!

Valetines Day has been a blast with Sadie this year because she is grasping the concept of holidays more. We told her that Cupid would come and bring her lots of loves and presents, so yesterday she asked us "when is Cupid coming" every five minutes.
We decided to do a heart themed breakfast because Charlie had to work the swing shift tonight. We made heart shaped pancakes and muffins with eggs and strawberry yogurt. It was delicious and Sadie loved her little heart pancakes.

After breakfast, we exchanged our present. Charlie bought both Sadie and I beautiful flowers. We got Charlie two new shirts, some candy and Season Two of Heroes. Cupid brought Sadie a Fancy Nancy sticker book, a Valentines Day outfit, a new Princess video and a few other treats.


We also decorated heart and lip shaped sugar cookies. Sadie mostly just ate the frosting and sprinkled her cookies with as many sprinkles as possible.

Sadie wanted to go visit her "duckies," so we headed back to the park. We came prepared with four bags of popcorn and two loaves of bread. Sadie loves to throw whole pieces of bread and watch the frenzy the ensues. Charlie had birds all around him, I guess he has a special connection with them. I asked him if he was a "Bird Whisperer," and he just laughed. He headed off to work and Sadie and I headed off to our Valentines date. We went to McDonalds because it is Sadies new favorite place due to the fun play ground it has. She can play for hours and she did today. She also helped me do our grocery shopping and managed to throw some of her own items into the cart when I wasnt looking. She also picked out the mixes for her birthday cakes. She is having two different parties, so we needed a lot of mixes. I had a bunch of coupons and was able to get each mix for about 22 cents! Yahoo!

Happy Valetines Day!!!
