My little Valentine and I made cookies yesterday. I left the kitchen for a moment and when I returned, Bob informed me that he had made a "big surprise" and pointed to the floor. Half of the kitchen linoleum was covered with red cookie decorating sparkles. Bob told me that he had "spread them around extra" with his feet. I spent the next 10 minutes vacuuming up my surprise.This morning I noticed tiny red dots covering the bottoms of my feet. For a few moments I tried not to panic as I planned WebMd search terms in my head. (feet/soles/rash/red) Then I realized that walking on that carpet of tiny red dye #40 sparkles had tattooed me. Bob had not oversold it. This really was a big surprise.
Valentine's Day is often viewed as merely a Hallmark holiday but I am completely on board with any day that involves special snacks and reminding folks that I love them. And I believe this all the way down to my polka-dot toes.

I think with kids especially it's fun to embrace the holiday and make it our own :) Full of love, and yummy red treats.
ReplyDeleteHow cute...if you really think about it and aren't the one who has to clean it up! Hope you had a great rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteif there were ever a day that hallmark was on my side, red food coloring #40 in the blood stream was charming, and wall to wall sprinkles on the linoleum could be considered a gift, it would be v-day. i hope you felt loved "extra".
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something my little sweetie would do for me too. Awww....extra work. Makes me all gushy inside!
