A funny story: Mia's preschool teacher pulled Rick
aside to tell him that there's this new boy in the class and
Mia acts very strange around him, she won't go near him or anything.
So they asked her and she said, "Miss Debbie, do you remember when
he tried to sneak out of the classroom that one day? I'm still just trying to figure
this kid out, he makes me a little bit nervous." haha! She's got the cop intuition already?
OMG we were dying :)
Mia started Valentine's day delivering a valentine to Grandpa M
She sat and made valentines for all her cousins and grandparents. Then she helped
me with my card to Rick and we were trying to think of what why we are thankful for him.
It was so funny, she's like thanks for going to COSTCO (really loudly), cleaning up Bent's poop, making
mom eggs in the mornin, doing the dishes,protecting the living room,
it was sooo cute!
Off to her Valentine party! Even though she doesn't normally go
to preschool on Tuesday, she could go to the party as long as dad took
her, so he did and she was so happy about that. She kept telling him thanks a hundred
times. I'm sure you can guess the kind of cards she brought the kids- Yep Cars ones
and we made some tasty homemade sugar cookies too. On Monday, she could
bring in a special snack, so we did chocolate covered strawberries with sprinkles and it
was a hit.

Playing with dinosaurs before the party. I guess she was teaching
the other kids what the names of the dinosaurs were.
a little heart activity
Always very proud. I guess her teacher Miss Debbie
told Rick today during the party that Mia is her little teacher's pet when she's there.
That definitely doesn't surprise us, my sister Bre even said,
"Like mother like daughter." haha :)
Outside playing
Mia with her little friend Lucy
Rick took a picture of her planet she had to do for homework.
Of course it was called Planet Red and it was made up of
mostly dinosaurs and cars
Time for pizza and fruit!
She had a blast and Rick made it without a headache.
After her nap, she had to show me each valentine card.
It was pretty fun!
For dinner tonight, Mia wanted heart shaped spaghetti so
that's what we did. I set it up all fancy like she was at a restaurant
since it's always just Mia and I at night, we made it fun :)
And of course Mater juice box ( is this phase ever going to end)
and for dessert
End of the day: Mia listening to a Cars book that her dad
recorded for Valentine's day. She LOVED it! I always remember
my dad giving me something for Valentine's day every year until
I was married. It was very special to know that your dad is always your
valentine no matter what is going on in your life and I think it's
important for Mia to feel that same love from her dad. She was
so funny making him his Valentine card and wouldn't write "dad" on it.
She wanted me to help her write "Rick." Too cute!
On Saturday we went to the Children's museum to
their new Curious George exhibit and Curious was
there! She was very excited, and of course I didn't have
my camera so the pic didn't turn out very good.
This weekend we are going to the Fresh Beat Band concert so
stay tuned :)
