The girls and I had a fun Valentine's Day. They've been through so much in the last few weeks and did so great with the move, that I decided that they deserved a fun day. Valentine's Day was a good excuse for it. We had a whole day of heart-shaped food. Here are some pics.
Breakfast: Heart-shaped toast with strawberry jam and heart-shaped hard boiled eggs.
This gives you a rough idea of how I did the eggs. Hard boil them, and then while they are still hot, place them in a v-shaped piece of heavy cardboard-like paper and smoosh a straw on top. Fasten with rubberbands and refrigerate. Mine didn't turn out perfectly. Some of them were just vaguely triangle-shaped and one busted open, but it was a fun experiment.
They loved it.
Time for presents! (Please notice they are both wearing shirts with hearts all over them!)
Kitty plate and matching bowl for Lena.
Bumblebees for Eva. They also got stationary sets and toast stamps.
All ready to help Mama bake some fun Valentine's Day cookies!
Cracking the eggs.
Stirring the batter.
Strawberry cookies with plenty of dark chocolate chips. Yum! Super easy to make too. They used a strawberry cake mix. Here's the recipe.

Good, but messy!
Lunch was heart-shaped pizzas made with some flatbread.
I tried to make Lena's sauce pink by mixing pizza sauce with alfredo sauce, but it came out orange instead.
Cupid hearts made out of grape tomatoes.
Fun Valentine lunch.
Yum!
Dinner was heart-shaped mini meatloaves, pink mashed potatoes, and heart-shaped carrots.
Finished the day with strawberry Rice Krispy treats with raspberry M&M's inside.
