Happy Valentines Day!
We are having a fun day here celebrating with hearts and candies. Last night Cupid came and left pink and red hearts on the walls with little sayings on them. Hunter and Emma told me it was so fun to wake up and find hearts all over. Emma wanted to know why none of them had my name on them, and that’s when I had to confess that I played Cupid. I think she was a little disappointed that it was just Mom, but she gave me hug and said she loved me anyway. We had pink heart pancakes for breakfast, and the kids partied at school. I’m so glad they didn’t come home with a ton of candy like they did last year. I like it when the focus is more on the nice valentines than on the candy.
Daddy surprised us all by bringing home a giant valentine balloon that even lights up last night. It was a huge hit, and Hannah is still convinced it was just for her. This morning Daddy had another surprise. Two buckets of microwave popcorn from Blockbuster, and the Curious George and Walk the Line movies. (Hopefully we’ll finally get to see that one after the kids go to bed tonight.) And instead of flowers Rob got me a massaging neck pillow. I love it. I think the inflated prices on Valentines flowers are crazy, so I prefer the more practical, yet pampering gift!
We love and miss all of our family and friends out there today! Know that we’re thinking of you!!
I too prefer the practical/pampering gifts. (But I wouldn’t say “No” to flowers.)
I agree about the flowers Amy. I presonally don’t really care for roses, and love it when Craig buys me tulips or lilies, especially if they’re in a pot so I can then take the bulbs and plant them in my garden and watch them bloom again the next spring. That way I get to enjoy them for a very long time, and I’m not just throwing out a bunch of dead stuff in a week or so. And a massaging pillow sounds awesome, pampering gifts really are a great idea, you’re so right! I love all of your Valentines Day fun! What cute ideas, and even cuter kids!
Sounds like you all had a fun Valentines day. You’re such a fun Mom for playing cupid.
I am glad that all of you had such a great day. Our Valentine Day was very similar. I guess great minds think alike from hearts everywhere down to the giant balloon.
