Happy Valentine's Day!
The Hubs really stepped up to the plate to sweep me off my feet. The roses were beautiful, but what really got me was the overwhelming supply of chocolate. Yum yum yum! And a ridiculously funny card. He is always great with the funny cards.
Newbie loved his new sippy cup (ha!) and his book, I Love You Through and Through. The story is a precious read- just perfect for Valentine's Day, and who doesn't love a new sippy cup? He also got some snacks that had him smelling like syrup all evening, so we're passing those along to a certain birthday boy this week in hopes he will enjoy them more than we did, because if there's one thing that drives me up the wall, its the ever-present smell of maple syrup. Whew! If the birthday boy doesn't want them, we'll just pass them on to Opie. Opie is the one guy we know who will not pass up a single edible or inedible treat. That's just the way he rolls.
As for the Hubs, I gave him this couples' devotional book and made him the dinner of a lifetime. He ranked the lime chicken fajitas I made for him yesterday right up there with my venison roast, and if you know the Hubs, that's really sayin' something. It was good eatin'.
Today Newbie and I are laying low, hoping to hack through some more laundry and see how many toys we can scatter across the den. There may even be some craft time involved. We'll wait to see where the wind blows us. I am so blessed to have a little Valentine to spend the day with while my Big Valentine is off working to bring home the bacon.
If you haven't checked it out already, hop on over to this post from yesterday and share your brilliant ideas! I need your help brainstorming ways to engage our kiddos in loving God and loving others this Valentine's Day. =)
Hope you all have a marvelous Monday and that you get your hands on some chocolate!
