Disney On Ice
On Valentine's Day we exchanged cards, watched Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs, and ate spaghetti and meatballs! Our gift to ourselves as a family was tickets to Disney On Ice: World's of Fantasy. We scored a super discount on what turned out to be amazing seats, whew! As always Disney hits a home run - we had a GREAT time!

International Gymnastics Centre
We attended a birthday party at the International Gymnastics Centre in West Sac this weekend. Owen had a blast playing on all the equipment! This was a really neat place!
MGP Valentine's Class
We had the pleasure of hosting preschool at our house last Thursday! It wasn't our week, but due to some extreme family illness over at the V-4's place, we offered to help out. This was a super fun day because it was all about Valentine's Day!
Making pink! Mix three parts white paint with 1 part red paint and you get pink!
Owen did an awesome job matching the animal cards with their written name!
Time for the Valentine's card exchange! Taylor is posing by her heart "mail box." The kiddos went around and deposited Valentine's in their friends heart.
Hunting for hearts in shaving cream! Squishy!
Time for snack!
Fishing for hearts! The hearts are marked with this months letters and numbers. The little fishermen took turns deciding what they should all fish for.
Playing with Mr. & Mrs. Potato heads. You can also see up on the counter our science project. We have flowers in red water and one in clear water and we're waiting to see what happens...
Find the hidden heart puzzle piece and then find where it goes on the board.
Silly sentences with conversation hearts!

Sweet hearts
Last night at dinner, we were talking about Valentine's Day with Owen. Aaron was explaining that Valentine's Day is for sweet hearts. I asked Owen who his sweet heart was and he said, "You Mommy! You're my Sweetie heart." And I turned into a puddle of mama goo...

Vegan Waffles
Aly turned me onto the WaffleParty website at waffleparty.com. Last night we had our first Waffle Party - YUM! We made plain waffles, peanut butter waffles, and cheesecake waffles - all vegan. The standout for the evening.....The Cheesecake Waffles!!! The website calls them Sinful Cheesecakey Vegan Waffles and they are Delish!
The recipe: Sinful Cheesecakey Vegan Waffles
1 cup + 2 Tbs all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
1 8 oz. container vegan cream cheese
1/2 cup + 2 Tbs soy/rice milk
3 Tbs 2 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 raw sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, softened the vegan cream cheese for 30 to 40 seconds. Whisk in the soy or rice milk, oil, lemon, juice, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix everything just until blended. Batter will be thicker than usual.
4. Cook on a generously oiled waffle iron. Will take a bit longer to cook than usual. Serves 2-3
We topped ours with blackberries Aly and I canned after a blackberry picking trip we took this summer! Crazy good!
