Valentine’s Day comes and goes in such a rush every year because it is now defined as the day before Annabel’s birthday. I really love the holiday so I have to remember to make it special. I decorate the house with pink and red and hearts and “love” signs. (It’s awesome because it gives me another great excuse to buy cute decorations at Homegoods or Hobby Lobby.)
We give the kiddies a special Valentine’s bag of treats in the morning. The “treats” are always something other than candy because they will get so much of that from friends and teachers and grandparents.
This year we gave Daniel and Annabel some new coloring books and stickers so they spent the morning doing art projects before Daniel had to leave for school. Annabel was super excited because we went back to Daniel’s class for a Valentine’s party at lunch time. She can not wait to start school in the fall. At this rate, she thinks school is all about playing with friends and eating sugary things.
Yep, that’s about right.
Then, we had Grandma and Grandma over for a special Valentine’s family dinner . They drove down from Maryland to spend three days with us. We ate pasta cake (lasagna), broccoli, salad, and brownie sundaes. We are all stuffed and full of love and ready for round two tomorrow.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
