Happy Valentine's Day

Well, we hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. Here at the Gallegos house things went pretty smooth. (Any holiday that revolves around CANDY can sometimes consume our day!) But we all had a great time. Patrick cooked steaks for dinner and they were delicious. Him and the kids also surprised me with an afternoon at the spa. I got a facial, manicure and pedicure. It was a very relaxing afternoon for me. Patrick and the kids got to spend the afternoon together and they all had a good time. The following picture was one taken early yesterday evening. Patrick and Sydney were taking a late Valentine's Day nap. They both looked so cute!And this picture shows how we started out our Valentine's day. I made heart-shaped chocolate-chip pancakes. The kids really liked them. (As you can see by the chocolate on their faces.) What a way to start off the day: Chocolate chips covered with high-fructose corn syrup. (Delicious and Not Nutritious!!!!)
And I wanted to add a few pictures that we had taken over the past week. The kids and I made a quick trip to Target on Friday and this is how Isaac looked when we left. At first glance, he looks just fine. But when you take a closer look you can see that he is wearing two DIFFERENT shoes. One is a Black high-top shoe and the other is a brown loafer-type dress up shoe. I realized his new found fashion when we got to Target and I was putting him in the basket. He was so proud of himself for getting his shoes on all by himself. (And rightfully So!)
So, when we got home I took these pictures of him. He was kind of confused why I was making such a big deal out of it.
The kids got Valentines cards from both sets of Grandparents and they were very excited to be able to get their own mail. The following is a picture of Sydney looking at one of her cards. I thought is was a pretty cute one. It looks like she is actually reading it. When on the contrary she is probably just trying to figure out the quickest way to get it in her mouth.
I also got this picture of the kids making Valentine bracelets. One of their friends gave them a bracelet kit for a Valentine. They were very excited. I don't think Isaac actually got much of his made. He realized pretty quick that it was easier to eat the candy rather that try to run a string through it! Where on the other hand, Jordan made hers and was able to wear it most of the afternoon.
And last but not least I caught a picture of all three kids, looking right at the camera! WOW, that is definitely a feat of its own. They were all in their pj's and ready for bed. Jordan and Isaac were excited because they were wearing zipping pj's just like Sydney.
So, here's to another Valentine's day that has come and gone. We hope everyone had a good one. Love ya and God Bless, Tara G.
