Your Love Is So Bright, I Have To Wear Shades

Today is President's Day & I had the day off from work!  Poor Brandon still had to work and Greyson was excited to go see his "friends" at daycare.  That meant that Miss Korenna & I had some girl time together!  Our day started out with a yummy breakfast and an episode of Dora the Explorer.  We then read a great deal of books and played with some of her favorite toys.  She also helped me with the dishes & some laundry.  Our next adventure was shopping (of course) & a visit to see Mamaw Karen & Papaw D!  The girl wore me out, but we had a great day together!

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

Valentine's Day at the Shipley house was filled with lots of sweets!  The kids enjoyed getting small gifts, cards, and of course some chocolate kisses from Mommy and Daddy.  My wonderful husband also took the time and got me some lovely flowers and chocolate candies as well...he so knows the way to my heart.  Greyson was also excited because he got to take his very first Valentines in to exchange with his friends at daycare.  The week before, the teachers helped each child to decorate a Valentine box in preparation for their exchange.  His class also celebrated with a small Valentine party. 

Here are the Valentines that we did for Greyson's friends and for my little first grade class!  

 Korenna got to open her musical "Princess" card first...

 Loves her "ducky" that goes along with the book that we got them by Eric Carle, "10 Little Rubber Ducks."  Cute book based on a true story about a shipment of rubber ducks that fell overboard and washed up on shores all around the world!
