quick takes



this is quick takes valentine's style.
if you clicked over from conversion diary,

you are correct to assume that i am technologically challenged.
 

1.  yesterday bo christian sat in my lap and let me rock him.
twice.
it was his valentine's gift to me.

eating a valentine cookie.
2.  the last cake baking adventure you will hear about:
so, i made a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting to celebrate the day.
after looking at red velvet recipes, i decided that duncan hines would be the best choice.
wrong.  mr. hines let me down big time.
the cake was very moist, but tasteless.
i did make the cream cheese icing.  it was fit for a king!
except for the fact that there was little pieces of paper in the icing.
i think it must have been part of the butter wrapper, maybe??
i had a helper who put the butter in the mixer.
so anyways, i am officially done with cakes.
i've given them lots of chances and they just do me wrong every time.

3.  don't worry, we were not without dessert.
my mother saved us - she sent us sugar cookies.
thank you , nana.
a thank you picture just for you:

yes, i made them all wear red to school.
4.  connor took his own money to school and bought me flowers.
here he is showing me how to pose with them:


he told me that they will never even die!

my pose:

wonder if when husband married me he realized what a beautiful cross-eyed beauty i would turn into...
5.  these are the sweetest pictures.
my big boys just got off of their bus and bo christian is running to them.


they both take time to greet him!

i'm sure he's telling them all about that cookie in his hand.


6.  since all of these pictures were taken within a 5 minute time span,
i don't have a single picture of my favorite valentine.
husband was still at work.

7.  one not valentine related:
connor made his first confession last week.
of all my boys, i would have liked to be a fly on the wall to hear his confession.

see him way up there with our favorite priest.
