Happy Valentine’s Day! Oscar and Lucy have just Gorged on chocolate and cookies, and now they are shredding the living room while I escape the sugar madness, and write this post. Crossing my fingers I can get this done before Lucy runs out of candy hearts. (Considering how many she shoves in her mouth at once, my chances are slim.) Here we go:

This was a couple nights ago, but it was a blockbuster when I posted it to facebook. iPhones get all the best moments.

Cookies on the agenda! Nanu took the day off from work (yesterday) and we baked together!

The recipe was, ah, a fun adventure

Manual labor, and another recipe where we just winged it.

Oscar’s valentines – 25 3-packs

Kristi’s goodies made the morning! K – you are a True Fairy Godmother!

Lucy is 100% infatuated with the tiny Dora lunchbox, with candy hearts inside

Must eat some cereal.

Our parrots joined us

okay – go get dressed!

Oscar made this for me and Dad.

What time is it?

“It’s Love Time!” – yes he actually said that.

Lucy and I got matching tats.

The Whitman Sampler, in mini, for Lucy! Thanks Nettie!

The smell of plum blossoms is in the air (“Pink Trees!”)

And the best Valentine of all:
