Happy Valentine's Day!!

Let's see how this red looks - all the better for the "love day"!! :) Plus everyone needs a more little "color" in their world - right???!!!!?!

It was a SUPER-cold day here - I debated whether to dress Alex in his Valentine's shirt - but it's short-sleeve, so I decided that it could wait until tomorrow when it will be a bit warmer.

When I picked Alex up from Julie's (the childcare lady), he had a bucket (yes, a BUCKET) of goodies and treats. Alex had been going after a certain sucker all day, and I decided that it was fine if he had it. Rookie Mom mistake......

Before we even walked out the door it was ALL OVER his face, hands, running down his chin and onto his jacket.......and then came the carseat.......good thing they make baby wipes - otherwise he would still be stuck to the seat. Ugh.

Here's a shot of the little man and his sucker. Pay special attention to the extra-rosy chin and the slobber/drool/sticky mess running down the right side of his jacket. (My neck was even sticky from his hand touching it - my HAIR stuck to my neck!!)

Yes, he is launching the sucker as Andy took that picture. As soon as Andy shot the picture - well, you take a look.



So we were all a sticky mess.

For Valentine's Day we went out to Blanquita's - the mexican restaurant here in town. Awesome food - and it was fairly quiet! :) Alex had a softshell taco with extra tomatoes, and we had some sopapillas for dessert (no honey for Alex, though). YUM!!



Alex learned to "dip" his dessert into the cool whip. Such concentration!!!


Almost gone - - -


Once it was gone, Alex decided to eat the cool whip all by itself - - such a mess -- but we were sticky already, so we may as well make the best out of it!! :)

Then it was home and INTO THE BATH!!!! :)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)

FUNNY!! I wasn't sure if that was launched sucker or a stuck sucker. I thought the stick might be stuck to his hands. Whew... That was a lot of alliteration!
