Kaitlyn's Valentine's Day Party

Kaitlyn had her Valentine's Party at her school today. They snacked on red foods like strawberries and heart-shaped jello jigglers. Of course Kaitlyn finished ALL of hers. The made little Valentine's bookmarks with thumbprints. They played pin the heart on the Valentine's bear and almost all of the kids cheated. They passed out their Valentine's to each other. Kaitlyn gave out Berenstein Bear valentine's with heart bendy straws to her friends this year. She got lots of Valentine's, but was more interested in the candy attached to them. Whatever happened to kids just giving out Valentine's? Now they have to have "stuff" attached to them to be cool.

The baby had a little cough today, so I went ahead and took her to the doctor just to be on the safe side. The doctor told me that she just had a little cold. I explained that Kaitlyn and her had both had been coughing and had runny noses, but Alyssa was definitely SOUNDING worse. Well, she went ahead and checked Kaitlyn too--and she was the one with an ear infection! Her ear wasn't even hurting! She got a little of the pink medicine, so all will be well again soon!
