Pucker Up, Buttercup.

TThis is my little love making a kissy face for you.  The best part of this picture is that I can see the Hello Kitty necklace she got for Christmas and wears almost every day (sometimes a Dora necklace will be substituted).  The necklace is held together by a very thin piece of elastic and it is only a matter of time before it breaks and is in a lot of pieces.  We will both be sad.  I never want to forget this time of life when Hello Kitty was such an important accessory in our lives. 

I have never considered myself much of a Valentine person but I always help with the preschool Valentine parties.  I don’t know why except that it is a slower time of year and I probably need another excuse to eat chocolate.  One of the moms had a great idea to take these kissy face pictures for frames the kids would decorate.  I thought they turned out cute and it was fun to see which kids could and could not make a kissy face.  Apparently it isn’t that easy!  Here is a favorite:

And lastly, I leave you with a picture courtesy of my iphone of the lovely chocolate covered strawberries my husband sent me on the 13th.  We like to beat the crowd and celebrate early…always have.  A man who never remembers anything including what I said yesterday, but somehow remembers that I said I hate Valentine’s Day in 1997 sent these and I was thrilled.  The best  thing is that it recommended that they be eaten in 48 hours for freshness so I get to pig out and not be questioned on why they were gone so fast.  I don’t share chocolate (but I will give him ONE white one).  There are more than the 6 you see here but I won’t admit how many.  OINK!
