My Funny Valentine

Thanks to a few books my mom sent him, Evan has been looking forward to Valentine's Day for the last month and a half. He loves reading Max's Valentine and How Spider Saved Valentine's Day. We started making valentines for his friends and family in the middle of January. This may seem really early, but I'm glad we started when we did. He wanted to use rubber stamps for everyone, and it was amazing how quickly he got bored. So we would do a couple here and a couple there. Then we had to write a message to everyone and he would get bored of thinking of things to say to his friends, besides "Happy Valentine's Day! Here's some candy!"

Last night we were at QFC and I let Evan choose a special Valentine treat from the bakery. I was debating between the fudge cake and fruit custard. Evan insisted on the chocolate torte, because the decoration looked like Hershey Kisses. It was quite yummy, but oh so rich!

This morning at breakfast, Evan asked to mooch more eggs off of his Poppa. He got it, of course, and I said, "Evan what do you say?" This is his usual reminder to say Thank you. He ends up saying to Poppa, "Thank you! Happy Valentine's Day!" How can you resist that?!
