cupid

in preparation for valentine's day, we got out the paints and created masterpieces that we could eventually turn into adorable little handmade valentines. the martha stewart inside me decided to only squeeze out puddles of "valentine" colors onto the palette. so I dug out the white, red, pink, and even a little purple paint and set my little picasso free.

after one round he caught a glimpse of the crayola box and requested some blue and green and orange and maybe some brown mommy??  who am I to resist such a sweet request? I'm not one to squelch creative genius now, right?  so our version of valentine's became a puddle of every color under the rainbow. unfortunately when you mix them all together the result is a muddy shade of brown. oh well.

when the big day arrived, my little cupid and I took advantage of henry's morning nap and donned our aprons for some good ol' cupcake baking. I just love having a sous chef in the kitchen!

now had I been more on top of my game, those above mentioned works of art would've actually been cut into hearts and fashioned into adorable handmade valentine's. but, alas, the martha stewart in me didn't show up on february 14th, so we settled for a box of toy story valentines and delivered them to all of our favorite valentines.
