Valentines day 2009--better late than never

I know Valentines was 3 weeks ago, but I am always late...

We are going to Florida this summer for a very good friend's wedding and then spending another four or so days there for our first "real family vacation."  So, most of Noah and Zoey's valentines present  had to do with sand castle building.  It was definitely a hit with them.  They also loved the chalk and bubbles.  With the weather so nice lately we have been able to go out and play with that stuff a lot.  Zoey really enjoys the stuffed monkeys and carries them around saying "ooh ooh aah ahh"  It is really cute.  Tim had to work that day, so my present to him was to have the house spotless when he got home...a hard task to accomplish with Noah and Zoey around...but i did it.  My wonderful mom had a Valentines date sleep over with Noah and Zoey!  They had a blast...as usual and Tim and i loved having a kid free night.  We kept it pretty low key having sushi and drinks at Hido and then went and browsed the mall.  It is hard to believe, but i actually slept until 9:30...i normally am awake by 7ish EVERY morning.  It was a very nice valentines day and i love that the kids are actually getting old enough to enjoy the holidays as they come...more Noah, Zoey still is kind of clueless.
