Brooklyn and I enjoying our chocolate eclair cake. It was so easy to make and is one of my new favorite treats! I think I almost ate the whole pan myself...almost.
Our kids were sick on Valentine's Day so we stayed away from crowds or people altogether and celebrated on our family room floor instead! We ordered take-out and had an indoor picnic. It was actually reallly funny because Beckam kept eating the rose petals we had sprinkled out all over and Brooklyn was so excited to be having a picnic on the floor that she kept getting up and dancing around, stepping on our food and visiting each person sitting on the blanket.
Here's little man all bundled up.
Brooklyn loves to play with daddy anywhere, anytime. She adores him.
Earlier that morning, we bundled the kids up and went out to play in the snow for a little while- the doctor said the cold air would be good for the kid's to breathe in. Jason and Brooklyn stomped a big heart out in the snow. Beckam LOVED it outside, he snuggled on my shoulder and laid there watching the snow the entire time. He didn't move a muscle and was in the state of total relaxation.It turned out Beckam had RSV!! You would have never known though, he laughed and played and smiled through the whole sickness and never had to be hospitalized...thank Heaven!!!! But, he never slept at night...which means I didn't either- and we're both really, really tired to say the least. I think my body just expects not to sleep anymore- like it's learned to live without it.

What a fun Valentine's! What a nice night to just stay home and hang out with your cute kiddos. Poor Beckam. I can't believe that he was so happy - I hear that is awful. My friend has been home with her little guy for 6 weeks with it so I am glad to hear that Beckam wasn't too bad, except for all of the sleepless nights. I think you should post your eclair cake recipe. It sounds delicious! I especially love easy recipes.
I can't believe how many kids have gotten RSV this year that I've heard of: my sons James and Adam, the Dalton's daughter Kylie, the Yoho's daughter Alayna, your son . . . yikes. I'm glad your son never had to be hospitalized. Adam was only 2 weeks old, so his ped sent him straight to the hospital. The infection never spread to his lungs so we were lucky.
What a fun Valentines Day! I really like the idea of the heart in the snow - I may have to do that myselft someday.
Okay, so I'm just going to say what no one else will, and I'm just going to let the chips fall as they may...your kids are so beautiful (like their parents) that it's getting kind of ridiculous, I mean seriously...did you think that was fair or very nice for you to just parade them around like they're "normal?" Rest assured, they're not!
