Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day! The highlight of our day was exchanging family valentines and eating TONS of chocolate. (Yesterday we bought a 2 lb. box from Mrs. Cavanaugh’s, and today Lydia passed out Russel Stover boxes to everyone). We spent most of the day adoring Basil and cleaning up poop and pee accidents. Basil and Clarissa scored about the same number on both. It is days like today that I am especially grateful to be a team with my favorite Valentine ever. Between the two of us, we got the stains gone and our children and puppy clean. Clarissa got two baths and Basil got one. 🙂

Here is a rather long video showing our Valentine’s Day festivities (which included Georgia) of some love note reading. Also, candy abounded in our home today as our 2-lb box of chocolates from Mrs. Cavanaughs was available on top of the other candy in the house.
Mary’s Valentine’s Day box
Ammon’s Valentine’s Day box (that he made with Abe and decorated later himself)
Clarissa’s Valentine’s Day box that she made with her sisters. It looks a little like her favorite stuffed hippocorn, only white.
Lydia’s Covid appropriate Valentine’s Day box. 🙂

Before going to bed Lydia and Mary played a concert for my dad and Suzanne. Then we showed them the dog again, including me playing/wrestling with the dog a bit. I like to play rough with him and let him use his mouth, but we are trying to train him to know that he can only use his mouth to play if it is with me, and if I’m wearing my special playtime gloves. It’s so fun! I love making him pounce and chase my hand!
