Valentines

It's the day before Valentines and baking I have done.  Every so often I get in these baking moods and this time it was cookies, banana sheet cake and two heart shaped cakes for the kids to decorate and eat tomorrow.  Work enjoys when I get in these baking moods and so does my cousin and a lucky friend or two as I have to share the goodies.
The kids have their valentines all signed and ready to go.  Renae's teacher is doing a Heart Healthy Valentines party so we are bring 5 bananas (that is what got me in the mood to make the sheet cake).  Renae is a little disappointed that she wont get cupcakes and cookies during her party.  I told her we have enough sugar at home and she said that she wants it at school.  So, she is packing it in her lunch.  Kyle here is the story on him...he bought a Valentine for a special little girl named Jasmine.  All week he has been asking to go to the dollar store so he can use his dollar and buy her something.  We complied and this special girl is getting a stuffed animal valentine frog.  It is the cutest thing to watch him get excited over this girl.  While at the store Kyle was looking for a red ring because red is her favorite color.  We could not find one so he compromised on the frog with the red heart.  The story gets better...Kyle never asked for a toy himself while at the store Matt and I asked him if he wanted something and he said he only had one dollar and it is for Jasmine.  How cute is he!!!
As for Matt and I we are content watching our kids get excited about their Valentines that spending the night as a family listening to the days stories will be enough for us.

HAPPY VALENTINES!!!!
