Happy Valentine's Day

As I listen to Chris play peek-a-boo and read The Last Battle to A, I'm exhausted and ready for a weekend. Since A was sick last week, she kindly shared her virus with me, so I've been sickly this week. We've just had a nice cold, but it is a doozy as far as colds go. And in reality the altitude changes going up and down the mountain are the worst part of it. If only I worked for a company that believed in paying people to stay home if they are sick....

Today however, I got to go to a Valentine's Day party with a bunch of 2 year olds! A had a lot of fun and I got to see her class. It was nice to see the rest of the children because there are always two or three there when I pick her up, but it's always the same children. She was asleep when I got there and quite content to stay that way. I woke her up and she was excited to see me. We then did the party thing (they ate their party snack of sugar, sugar, and more sugar) and then I had to leave. They were supposed to sing an "I love you" song, but the teacher got caught up with the toilet kids and the helper gave them the food a bit earlier than the teacher wanted. It was fun and cute though. Here are some of the pictures I took this afternoon.

Trying the icing on a cupcake

The heart confetti on a frosted cookie got all over her face

With her friend who also stays late. He is quite protective of her and will help her up stairs and stuff like that. Quite cute actually.
