g and i have never really been big valentine's day people. our 1st valentine's day g made me a delicious dinner. he's made me tons of delicious dinners since that night, but never again on valentine's day. i do like to remind him of this.

but when you have a kid it all changes.

i kind of got into it this year. this meant i made each child a card and spent valentine's day eve with the masses at target, buying bags, temporary tattoos, candies and other crap.

i loved every minute of it.

not exactly what i had in mind. i wanted glassine bags, twine, and natural candy*, but this is what i could get my hands on at 8:30 at night on valentine's eve.

and this is what he was wearing when g picked him up from school



* i'm sure the parents were cursing my name when they saw the chemical-laden candies i gave to their children.

we like to paint

on saturday night my folks too ollie for the night so we could go to dinner. it was so wonderful. we went to cesar. we ate paella.



then we came home and watched midnight in paris. i loved it.

happy monday!

i don't know why i've been so bad about posting lately. i guess i'm feeling pretty uninspired.



i'm feeling motivated this week. i hope to be here more often.

not too much excitement around these parts, except potty training and pink eye.
don't be jealous.
