Valentine gifts

The day before valentine's day, John took the kids out to get supplies for our traditional fondue evening (I was at work). Apparently, the children convinced daddy I was in need of flowers for Valentine's day. John tried to explain to the kids about my rules about this holiday:

Gemma is cutting her molars. Which is great for eating and all, but it really stinks for the sleeping and overall general happiness part.

Other times, the perks are great. For example occasionally I am able to fall asleep on the job. Which my husband finds so funny he documents with pictures.

More ham

This one features Gemma directing a family game of peek a boo (Amelia! Now daddy! Mama! Amelia's turn!), some silly faces, an attempt the throw everything on the floor from her tray and then a hilarious segment "no no-ing" either me or herself.

Be prepared
