Happy Valentine's Day

In an effort to get my act in gear I switched out the stuff that has been on the shelves since before Ada's birthday and put some Valentine's Day stuff out.  It's mostly just what we had out last year I just added numbers in the heart cups for Ada to say aloud when she puts the marshmallows in and wrote out the names of the colors in the color sorting for her to sound out and to practice writing too.  

 I cut 6 small squares of cardstock and did my best at freehanding a size-sorting heart work with numbers written on the back to check their work- well Emma can't do that yet.  Emma likes to hold the little one and say "so cute" in the most adorable way and cock her head to the side which makes me roar.  Ada likes to tell the story of the Grinch and say that the Grinch's heart starts so tiny then it grows and grows.  I love it.

Then of course I pulled out a selection of books about love and put them in the bin.  I've added a few more since this photo was taken.  We've been enjoying them.

We did some painting with heart cookie cutters although the girls quickly decided to put those down and use brushes and their hands.

And last but not least... a few pictures of the two best sisters in the world (yes, I'm totally biased)!

Sleepy and sick snuggling on the couch.
