Happy Valentine’s Day!

I love you Toadie and Little Man!? Thanks for all the joy you’ve given me so far this year.

I love you Roy.? Thanks for being a great dad to our son and friend to me.

I love you Mom, Dad, Andrea, Tom and Mike.? Thanks for just being you!

I love you J.? Thanks for so many things, too numerous to mention.

And I love you guys! Thanks for reading my blog, and encouraging me in my baking, cooking and crafting pursuits!

Early this afternoon we got back from an overnight stay in Saginaw.? We stayed at a hotel, swam and went to Chuck E. Cheese.? I also made a stop at Hobby Lobby.? I love that store!? I’ll be showing you the goodies I picked up last week, they’re going to be an adorable project when I’m done.

I thought I would show you the gummi pops I made on Friday with Little Man and his friend?using the recipe I told you about…we used raspberry jello and they turned out so good.? They tasted wonderful!? Little Man and his friend Ryely ate half the batch by themselves.

They had just finished lunch (grilled cheese, can you tell?).

These are the other suckers we made:

Because I only had one sucker mold, we made other shapes too:

And of course, the requisite dinosaurs.? For some reason, not many of these ever survive to be photographed.

I also picked up a really nice seashell mold at Hobby Lobby, so now we’ll have even more variety next time we make these.

Hope your day is filled with love and sweetness!
