the life of baby jude

Last weekend was Valentine's Day! To celebrate, we had a huge sweets fest at school. We had a party that was filled with all sorts of treats (candy, cake, cookies, whipped cream, strawberries) and then we all exchanged Valentine's Day cards and presents. I was VERY excited to put my valentines together and give them out. And I got some really good stuff in return. Honestly, I made out. Mommy really has to kick it up a notch or two, I think. We handed out cards, stickers and M&Ms (which I still refer to as "Lem & Lems" for reasons that only I know and usually Mommy thinks I'm asking for "lemonade"), but you should've seen what some of the other kids brought! Briana for instance (little cutie in the picture with me) made heart shape cakes for our whole Cheetahs class... with our names on them! And here's my mommy- a trained pastry chef! Meema gave me a bunch of Valentine's Day stories that I brought in to read to everyone. I was very proud of those. So there. :)And it's the thought that counts, right? I made all my little presents with lots o' love.

Anyway, I went home that day with candy than I know what to do with, along with pencils and stickers and art supplies. It was fun. Most of the kids wore red but I didn't because Mama & Meema insist that it "isn't my color." My kids didn't seem to mind that I wasn't as festive as I could've been. Sammie & Briana still fought over me, just like every other day.

I should also mention that I got other presents, too. I know that Meema has some stuff for me, but I haven't see her yet because I spent Valentine's Day with Daddy. He got me the Thomas "Great Discovery" toy I've been coveting! I love it! And Mary and Mystic got me some presents, too. They bought me a stuffed dog that looks just like my "best cute little doggie friend" Mystic, some chocolate candies, stickers and two Speed Racer cars.

I like Valentine's Day a lot. I'm going to enjoy getting all the gifts now because someday I may be buying some special flowers and dinner!
