Happy Valentine's Day

Hope your weekend is full of love, laughter, and chocolate. I know ours will be. Ro (in pink) and Ree (in red) were all psyched up this morning and ready to rock at their preschool V-Day party: After naptime, I played around with the awesome macro lens TubaDad gave me for a birthday gift, and got some neat V-Day Eve pics of the girls. These pics are all straight out of the camera, no cropping, photoshopping, or any adjustments. First to get up from her nap was Ree, so she got to be the guinea pig: Then Ro woke up and sleepily took Ree's place in the spotlight: After our extreme close-up photoshoot, TubaDad volunteered to watch the twinadoes so Catherine and I could go out for little girl time. I gave Catherine the choice of getting a fancy schmancy dinner or grabbing food at the mall and shopping all night. Um, you know she didn't even blink before choosing the mall, right? A few more V-Day Eve pics are here (thumbnails, detail, slideshow), including one where I give Catherine the infamous ladybug suitcase, pics of our freaky hailstorms today (we've had 3 so far), and the girls' wildly different styles in inspecting their school party loot and choosing one piece to eat (Ree dumped the whole bag out while Ro carefully inspected each item then placed it in a single line). Have a wonderful Valentine's Day tomorrow!
