valentine's day

Look what Brian surprised me with the night I got home from California:

YUM!!

I love chocolate covered strawberries.

A friend asked if I had eaten them all yet.

Told her I hadn't, but, sadly, I probably will.

What a great guy.

He watched the kids all weekend so that I could get away,

and even thought to celebrate V-day a day early since

he knew he would have to work late the next day.

We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day much.  I didn't even think about getting the kids anything for Valentine's Day until I got to school for their parties that afternoon and heard the other moms talking about what they had done that morning.  Oops.  I didn't even remember to get anything for their teachers.  Ethan was so disappointed that he didn't have anything special for his teacher.  I felt so bad.  He decided he would make her a special Valentine card and gave it to her the next day, so all was good again. 

So, anyway, despite my sorry display of Valentine enthusiasm, we managed to get to the store and get pizza crust to make heart shaped pizzas as our special Valentine thing.  I have to say I enjoyed that very much.  It was simple, fast, and didn't leave any chocolate laying around for me to have to talk myself out of every day....hour...minute?

I do love those boys so very much!!
