February 14th -
We've been trying to make holidays as fun and unique as possible for the girls. So for Valentine's day, after a yummy breakfast, we 'hid' paper hearts all around the family room for Shaylin to find. Most of the hearts had an activity written on the back that Shaylin likes to do.
The yummy breakfast that Jayna made for the girls...This was Shaylin's plate...
The family room - where most of the hearts were.
Shaylin holding one of the hearts after pulling it down. This one says 'Ride on Daddy's head'...
She still loves to ride on Matt's shoulders...
Emmalyn even got in on the head riding action. She wasn't able to do all the activities this year, but she'll be able to next year...
Another activity that was on the back of one of the hearts was helping Matt water the plants, which Shaylin also enjoys...
Another activity was 'making' chocolate chip cookies with Jayna. We cheated a little and used the break and bake cookies to speed up this one...
Shaylin pulling down the 'Go to the park' heart...
Shaylin pulling off the 'Feed the fish' heart...
She loves to feed the fish too. Hopefully she loves helping out around the house as she gets older as much as she loves to now - if so, chores it should be a breeze! Not likely, we know, but it's nice to dream.
When she was younger she really enjoyed sitting and watching the fish. She doesn't do it as often now since there's so many other things going on, but Emmalyn still enjoys watching them.
