. starting early .

i've never been much of a valentine's person, but with small children and the days passing so quickly, i'm on a mission this year to make the most of each holiday that we observe.  so why not start on valentine's day in january?!?  we don't have much of a winter, but i do throw some winter activities in, but valentine's is so much more fun.

so, a little pre-printed picture.  a little pink and red fingerpaint.  and we had a blast!  (there's no pictures of the process b/c i was helping L paint.  L is 14 months old.  and J was trying to eat the paint.  my hands were busy)
