I *Heart* Valentine's Day

As kid I think I must have enjoyed Valentine's Day. As an adult, it seems to be a set up for a big let down. More often than not, Valentine's Day events never seemed to turn out according to expectations. But now, either as a result of maturity (unlikely!) or because of the kids, I rather enjoy the day. The kids have the cutest valentine's and they totally love all their little goodies. It all just seems very sweet and innocent...I know that won't last forever (heaven help us during the teenage years!) but I am totally enjoying the moment. It really has been a great day!

So, both kids had valentines to give out on Friday and came home with plenty...

Today at breakfast the boys got their candy valentine's from us and some Star Wars figures. Then for dinner we caved and did the heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. OK, so not exactly gourmet, but the kids loved it. Oh, and Andy actually totally surprised me yesterday and came home with flowers and a balloon! I forgot to take a picture of the flowers but I was impressed because he didn't get roses. Which totally made my day. I like roses just fine, it's just that I actually prefer a bouquet of mixed flowers. ;) Go hubby!

And a little Valentine drinky for me!! ;)

**** The pretty juice is actually White-Cranberry Strawberry that I found the other day at Target. I bought it for the purpose of the boys breakfast this morning (which they got) but I couldn't resist having some myself with a little Grey Goose. ****
