Some lovely tulips that Daniel surprised me with.
Maddie has her cookie cutters and whisk and she is ready to bake!
Maddie loves to sing and to her anything makes a great microphone including her whisk. Here she was striking a pose after belting out "This girl is on fire!" Its an Alicia Keyes song. Thats the only words either of us know. 
Maddie making a valentine.
The Camellia bush finally bloomed, just in time for Valentines Day. That bush has had buds on it for like two years, I didnt think it was ever going to bloom. Plus Maddie has been plucking buds off of it for the past two years and pretending it is giraffe food so I really didnt think there would be anything left to bloom.
Maddie checking to see if the icing on the cookies had dried. She was quite excited, I was nervous because I have never made sugar cookie before, and I love a good sugar cookie so I had high hopes. They turned out a bit hard, I am going to have to find a different recipe/method next time.
This is Sally the Gerbil-loon. Maddie named her Sally the Gerbil-loon, but I like to call her the stalker. In the past three years since Maddie has been born, we have had alot of balloons come and go in the house, but none of them could travel around the house quite like this one. One minute Sally would be in the kitchen and the next I would see her in my peripheral vision in the dining room, totally freaking me out because a balloon in your peripheral vision in dim light can definitely be mistaken for a serial killer.
A little vase I crocheted for Valentines day. I was totally going to put it up on Etsy for V-day but it never made it.
Happy Valentine's Day! Maddie made her Valentine, she practiced writing her M's in the middle of the heart.

Valentine's, stalking balloons, red tulips, and pretty heart cookies. Doesn't get much better!:) I'm hoping the Valentine card we sent Maddie made it in time. I thought she might like getting mail :) Also, (I keep forgetting to ask) has she gotten the High Five (from Highlights) Magazine I ordered her at Christmas time? I hoped it would have fun things that she would like, and be somewhat entertaining, too.
ReplyDeleteI think that is funny about the camelia giraffe food! That bloom makes a very striking picture- I like the shiny leaves.
Take care! And as 'Sally the Gerbil-loon' sez... Hugs!
Love,
Donna
