Valentines Day 2011

This Valentines Day was on a Monday, meaning that it was too busy for any dinners out, so we had dinner in. My folks came over, because my dad wanted to take me to the hardware store and buy us some new shutters for our house, and they brought KFC with them! Woohoo!

The kids got the little gifts above. Candy and a stuffed dog! What else could they want?! Oh, they got some cards as well. I took this photo before the kids knew they were there. I didn't get any pictures of them finding the gifts, though. I think it was because the kids didn't find them until they woke up in the morning (Tuesday morning that is) and I was getting ready to go to work.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Plush puppies and chocolate. Ahh, it doesn't get any better than that. Valentine's Day is always a big hit with my kids, especially my daughter. Not only is she female but she also has a massive sweet tooth. This girl loves candy. She takes after her dad with his love of all things chocolate. And just like dad her favorite is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Chocolate bunnies at Easter are also a big hit. She isn't all that excited about Brach's Bridge Mix, though. Maybe it's because she has a hard time telling what flavor she's getting in any given piece.

Daddy actually picked up his Valentine's Day card for mommy about a week early this year. He was so proud of himself that he was not at Walgreen's at 2:00 am the night before picking from what few cards were left over.

I remember one anniversary I gave her a card that I had purchased the night before at around 2:30 am. I gave it to her the next morning. I was so pleased with myself that I remembered to get her something. She thanked me for the card and then asked if I knew it was a birthday card. Sure enough, the card I got her was a birthday card and not an anniversary card. Oh well, I tried. Don't I at least get credit for that? Especially when you consider that she did NOT get me a card.
