Happy Valentines Day to one and all!!!
Here's a run down of one of my favorite days of the year (not that I would ever be construed as a romantic, but I think it's such a fun holiday, especially with kids)
1. Samantha had a Valentines Party at preschool.
2. We got to attend the ward Sweethearts dance last night-lots of fun!
3. I sent out these-
I want you to know that I handmade that card.
4. I woke up to this-Tom is the best!
5. For further proof that Tom rocks-he bought special things for all the kiddo's too. Balloons all around and flowers for Samantha and me (I got a dozen, she got one :)). His reasoning was cute: I bought a balloon for Tommy because he's a boy, and then I thought Eliza would like that better than a flower. Then I realized that even if Samantha got a rose, she'd be sad if she didn't get a balloon. That's true love for you!!
6. Valentines is my one holiday a year that I put aside the fact that Tom would rather have something like a router table or a wireless router (both routers, neither have anything to do with the other) instead of something cutesy. I do something cutesy dangit because now it's a tradition, and this year I made him a special little album. And even though it's not a tool or something, he still really likes it!
7. But I always end up getting something "real" for him too. This year's he's getting the big food processor he's been wanting. But shhhhh, I haven't given it to him yet, so don't tell.
And just so you don't think that we're too romantic in this household I will relay a conversation that Samantha and Tommy just had while she was making Valentines for her Grandma.
Samantha: I feel so happy making Valentines-I love it
Tommy starts kicking her chair violently
Samantha: "Tommy, STOP it!! That's not showing love"
I don't like it
Tommy: I like it too
Samantha: NO! I DON'T like it
Fighting ensues.
Happy Valentines Day!
