Happy Valentine's Day!

Remember when Valentine's Day was so exciting? Kenzie is at that stage, and she had a great time decorating this little foam mailbox for all her Valentines.
Then this morning I gave the kiddos their presents. (They don't need to know the word "clearance" yet, just that they were happy). Kenzie has been asking for a Valentine's bear, too, so I was very happy that one had been sitting in the closet all year. It has little hearts all over it, and Kenzie studied it for a second and remarked, "It's like the chicken pox, except it's Love Pox!"
I also loved that Kenzie couldn't be bothered to take off her coat or backpack first, no, she needed to empty her mailbox and go through the loot! Parker was right there, too, and helped himself to more than a few little pieces of candy (most were willingly shared). Happy Valentine's Day!

Day 100

Today was day 100 of Kindergarten. This was a big deal for McKenzie, so it seemed fitting to take a few pictures. I'm just glad even after 100 times (or well, 99, she was sick one day) she is still so happy to go each day.
It looks like we're preparing for some bizarre Mardi-Gras event! Happy Friday!

Cousins

Monday I had a doctor's appointment to remove the stent placed during surgery (and am now feeling much better, hooray!), and my sister-in-law came over with her little girl, Tatum, to watch Parker. (I was very glad not to bring Parker with me, since he's been extra concerned about me since the hospital.) But I thought this picture was too sweet that DianaLynn took - and I'm glad Parker has fun with his little cousin.
