Did you notice that I completely skipped Valentines day here on the blog? It is not a huge holiday for me, but because I don't want my family to feel unloved I do heart it up. This year it was especially hard to have 'that lovin feeling' because of the sickness sweeping through the family, the snow and associated cabin fever, and Valentines falling on a Sunday.
We made Valentines for A&J's school classes, but because school was cancelled last week they took them to school today.
A's have a guitar and say, "You Rock". We made little packages of chocolate rocks and wrapped the card around them.
J's were more straight forward, green hearts with blow pops.
With Baby not in school yet and R way too old for that kind of stuff that was the extent of homemade Valentines. Well, DH did print out a Valentine card for me on Sunday, in the midst of all his sickness, it was sweet.
DH and I 'celebrated' Valentines Day yesterday. You could tell it was a super special occasion because for our date we went out to dinner AND a movie. We saw The Blindside', it was great. It tugged at my heartstrings while satisfying DH's football love.
Things have been so out of the ordinary that I almost forgot Faschnacht Day! Now here's a holiday I can really get excited about - donuts for all! Baby and I made the trip to the bakery after we took the kids to school. Hopefully there willl be faschnachts left for everyone else after school.
Very cute! Sorry you are in a frozen waste land, for lack of a better term. We do not miss those Utah and Colorado days. That part of the world sure has been hit hard! Austin is wonderful, a little scarf is about all we need here. You have such cute kids! Happy belated Valentines day!
