I Love You Anyway: The Valentine Fiasco

The high today was well above freezing so I thought it would be fun to venture out and find an interesting place to take "Valentine" pics of the kids. We set off and found this great little spot not far from us. But there was still lots of snow and it was a bit shady so instead feeling warm in the sun we were a little chilly. That would've been fine except mere minutes after we arrived C-man fell in the snow and covered his hands in snow. Brrrrr and tears! I scooped him up and covered him with my coat which warmed him up some. We didn't stay long; things kinda went downhill from there.

Here are a few of the shots we did get.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3



Looks very funny to catch someone in the middle of a dance move. These guys were having fun.


Everytime Sweet Pea looked up W looked down, and when he'd look up she'd look down. Comedy of Errors for sure!


The sweetest valentine

I don't know how she managed to hold onto her paper heart with mitts on, no thumbs!

By the time I could get everyone together, P was in tears, C still hadn't fully recovered from frozen fingers, L wasn't sure he wanted to hold a heart (of ALL things for a boy to have to hold!), W was such a good sport but told me later he wanted to hold his hearts high because he was blocking the sun from his eyes. Oh well! I look forward to trying this spot out without snow or coats! Then they can run, dance and laugh and I can take pictures: we'll all enjoy ourselves.
