So, we were gearing up for a big day today, as it was supposed to be a day filled with Valentine's fun. Unfortunately, the STUPID SNOW has interfered with part of our plans. Today was Allie's Valentine's Day party at school, AND tonight was the annual Father-Daughter Dance at Druid Hills Golf Club. Not unexpectedly, because there's a 1/2 inch of snow on the ground, they have canceled the dance for tonight and rescheduled it for a night when, of course, David will be out of town. Although Allie has been looking forward to dancing with her Daddy and wearing her beautiful red dress, I suppose that I'm likely more disappointed than she is. Last year I went with David and Allie to the Father-Daughter dance (as Allie was only 8 months old and David was not quite comfortable taking her alone), but this year was to be their first solo dance. I couldn't wait to take their picture in front of the fireplace at home and then send them on the way for their special date. Oh well, I guess for now I'll have to reminisce with this picture from last year and await their first solo date until next Valentine's.
At least we got to have some fun today at the Valentine's Day party at Allie's school. Yesterday Allie and I baked heart cookies to take in to her teacher, Ms. Yvonne. Allie has also been busy this week coloring Valentine's Day cards which we took in and passed out to all of her classmates today.
Allie's teacher helped all the kids make this special art project.
The kids then decorated cookies with icing and sprinkles. I have absolutely no idea why my child thought that she couldn't use her hands to eat the cookie, but nevertheless, this is how she preferred to eat her heart cookie (despite me trying to persuade her to pick it up and take a bite).
And this, of course, is the result of attempting to eat your cookie without picking it up off of the table.
Despite the STUPID SNOW resulting in a canceled date night with Daddy, we've had a great day. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
