Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a few outtakes from our Valentine's card photo session. We ended up with this cute one, but the ones where Joaquin is holding Eliana are my favorite. (Example below) Unfortunately Eliana was still upset from getting dressed and wailed through them. Joaquin however is smiling (albeit goofily) in all of them, while gamely holding on to a screaming little sister. I have many pictures of me as a little girl desperately holding a squirming/screaming/moping little brother or sister while attempting to smile sweetly. Ahhh, the plight of the eldest. We had a nice family Valentine's day. Joaquin had a party at school with ice cream floats and valentines covered with candy. He gave out some that were scratch cards of dinosaurs - woohoo! Although of course we added a lollipop. Joaquin and I had made cards for Daddy the day before and Joaquin had decided on his own that he needed to make me one and made me sit on the couch and close my eyes while he made it. Then we got a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and made heart-shaped brownies for dessert. My card from Joaquin was beautiful, a multicolored crayon heart on the front and "i love u" on the inside. Joaquin asked how to spell love, but apparently decided you was just u. Then he made the u a heart. :) He's a cutey-patootie. (He comes by it honestly, Daniel got me some beautiful earrings.) Eliana did nothing special for Valentine's Day except poop through her cute outfit around noon. But we forgave her cause she's so adorable and sweet! Joaquin even made her a card as well. It was very entertaining because he based it off of the card I made Daniel, but he didn't understand the concept very well. For Daniel I drew some tamale candies and an actual tamale and then said, "Honey, you are one hot tamale". I'm sooooooooo clever, JK! Joaquin wanted to know what it said and then what it meant. My explanation that it was a joke inspired him to try his own joke card. His card for Eliana is a picture of blue jolly rancher candy and the phrase "You are a glass of water". Made it up himself! (Although I of course had to spell everything.) Fun times in the Headley casa.
