mops valentine's day party

friday was a super busy morning so that we could go to the mops valentine's day lunch with the kids after school.  they had set up a craft ('lovebug' masks) and cookie decorating before a shared lunch.  mason had helped me pick out the veggies for our dip at the grocery store that morning.  he picked carrots, broccoli and green peppers.
mason coloring the hearts orange on his 'lovebug'.  he is getting really good at coloring inside the lines!  he has always been more interested in coloring that madelyn.  she still likes to just scribble in the page most of the time (she can color in the lines but just doesn't see the need).

madelyn was pretty excited about the whole thing - the girl loves a 'party'.

and maddux was happy to find yet another bench to sit on.  he loves sitting on new chairs/benches.
it was pretty crowded in the little room and several of the moms commented that they will have to look for a larger location next year.  thankfully, maddux was very good about staying right with me and holding my hand so that i didn't have to hold him the whole time.  i was so proud of maddux when he finished his grapes and took the vine over to the trash can to throw it away without having been asked - not bad for a one-year-old.  we had a nice time but didn't stay around very long after lunch.  it was a difficult set up to keep an eye on all three kids.  plus, it was past naptime.  glad we were able to go, the kids had a lot of fun!  love.

That does sound like a fun event. Does Mason enjoy eating the veggies you mentioned? Kinley is so picky these days. She, too, loves to color and takes more time with it to do a neat job than her big sis.
