Valentine's Day 2010

This lovely scene greeted me as I came downstairs this morning.

Two in FREE deserts!!!!!?

Here are the desserts available: chocolate-mint covered strawberries, agave nectared cantaloupe with chocolate chips. Both with a slight sprinkling of fresh snow.

The decor was charming at this diner.

And my honey knew just what to get me....

Here are the kids enjoying the contents of their valentine's boxes from school on Friday.

Valentine's Day parties

Today at school are the kids' valentines day parties. I'll have to miss them due to a meeting of my own :-( But I've been to plenty in the past and I know what goes on there, and I don't need to be there.
The kids went all out this year on their boxes. Owen went for the 3-D cat-shaped box, decorated with duct tape, so Elise decided to follow suit. They turned out great! Note how the cards are put through the cat's mouth, by depressing the tongue.....

Elise's was a bird's wing. Not sure what kind, but it might be a Flickon wing (a mythical bird that Owen made up for school - maybe I'll post THAT some time....)

And Elise's box opens up with a hinge to retrieve her valentines. Clever, eh?

Just had to brag. Some days they do absolutely amazing creative things.

Father - Daughter Dance

"A Night In Paris" was the theme.
