Valentine's eve

brady and i had eggo waffles.  my main motivation to eat these is to get them out of my freezer.  honey bought a huge box of them from costco an insanely long time ago and i'm so sick of them taking up space.

i did text honey this picture and say that this was the last time i'd be able to eat eggo waffles for a long time.  despite covering them with butter, blackberry jam, syrup, and whipped cream, they taste like cardboard.  honey said he didn't even know we had eggo waffles.  well now that explains the problem.

we went to the library for story time.  brady still loves to lay his head on my belly all the time.  i love it.

i also took a million adorable videos of them but the blogger app still doesn't allow videos so.... those will continue to rest on my phone.


just the four of us reading books together.

one of brady's favorite library activities is coloring.  he grabs a mini pencil and the scrap paper that they put by the computers to write down library book codes (what are those called?  the letter number combos?) and he colors.  i make him color on the floor though because the papers are so tiny and i don't want him scribbling all over the tables.

and sometimes he finds his own spot.  i'm obsessed with this kid.  he's adorable.



and these two play together so so well.  i love it and i love watching them together and listening to their conversations.


brady also likes to play on the computers.  most of the games he doesn't understand at all, but i had a stroke of genius this time and hooked him up with the dora soccer game which only requires him to touch his finger to the soccer ball so it's perfect for him and he loves it.  abigail can't watch though because she gets stressed out that he's always losing.  ; )

abigail likes this letter train game a lot.

i finished organizing the "office supplies" in the office.  now i can actually find stuff and know what we have!


all neatly stored in this little container.  pop a lid on it, slide it in the cabinet, and we're good to go.  can i come organize someone's house?  my family doesn't appreciate my efforts so it's not bringing me satisfaction like it should.  i know i'm making progress, but i feel like i'm breaking the rules.  ha.

i got everyone's valentine presents together.  honey got a card, grapefruit juice, and chocolate twizzlers (along with a handful of starbursts), brady got four blue starbursts and the book "if you give a dog a donut" that i found on a high shelf in one of our closets.  abigail got a $1.50 sweatshirt, this little sticker activity book (i've been so excited to give this to her for the past several weeks so we can work on it together), this pen and heart pencil i found in my organizing efforts, and four pink and red starbursts.

i made this cheesy broccoli quinoa recipe i got from diana.  it was really good.  brady has started holding his bowl or plate in his right hand while using his left hand for his spoon or fork.  so random.  so i saw him doing it at dinner and called christopher's attention to it so he could see brady's quirkiness.  and then i noticed.  honey was holding his bowl in his hand and eating with his other hand.  i'm guessing that's where brady picked up this habit.  how did i never catch that before?!

happy valentines eve!
