Jayden and I delivered some valentines around town today.  We made heart cookies and pink meringue kisses earlier in the week, then found some cute valentine boxes, and we took some to our friends Erin and Brady, Heather, Aunt Jojee, Great Aunt Nancy, Great Grandma Leona, and Uncle Willie (or Lilly as Jayden calls him).  And then we left a HUGE plate of heart sugar cookies at the funeral home for all the boys and girls.  I mean lets face it, either I start giving away all the crap delicious holiday food we keep making, or I am going to have to seriously invest in bigger clothing.  At our house I still have heart sugar cookies, meringue kisses, oatmeal scotchies, and heart shaped brownies, and that’s just the stuff I made this week.  This is not counting all the other stuff that is in the cupboard to snack on.  It’s just not a good thing.  Well it’s a good thing when all I want to do is eat sugar, but really it’s just not a good thing.  I guess I could eat it all in one day, make myself really sick, and then I won’t want it again for probably a good 2-3 days.

Today, besides being Singles Awareness Day (as Willie and I always call it), was the 10 month anniversary of Willie’s death.  So, since it wasn’t rainy outside, Jayden and I went to Shelton to go visit Willie at the cemetary.  It was nice to go in the daylight, as most of the trips I make are in the dark after Royal has come home to take care of Jayden (very sneakily of course since the cemetary is closed - refer back to our month 1 visit).  We brought him a cookie that Jayden worked so hard on.  Jayden did all the mixing, and then cut out heart shapes inbetween eating all the dough off the counter.  But Jayden loved his cookie just a little too much, so much so that he decided to show Willie just how delicious it was before he left it.

“Mmmmm….cookie”
