Happy Valentines Day

We woke up early to make our kids pink heart shaped pancakes with bacon and eggs. The two little girls were so excited! The two older ones acted like it wasn't a big deal but we could tell they really liked it. Each of the kids had a chocolate heart to take to school.

For lunch I got a surprise visit from Mikey at work and we picked up my mom and Bella for lunch. She was so cute and loves her ranch dressing. When Uncle Mike had to leave back to work he kissed me goodbye. Bella said.....my mommy has a honey too, his name is daddy. It was very cute!

At dinner time we weren't really hungry so we decided to go to the movie and we watched The Vow. What a great love story and even better when you find out that it's a true story. We ordered the kids heart shaped pizza before we left to surprise them.  Wouldn't you know it.....the only one that noticed it was heart shaped was Laura.  I hope everyone had a wonderful valentines day!

Happy Valentines Day

I am lucky enough to teach some great 5 yr old children at church. They wiggle and love to talk and by the time I get home it is nap time. They are so sweet and love to tell stories and look forward to treats. I promised them a special treat this Sunday for Valentines day. I saw these in a recipe blog about a month ago and planned on making them for my class. I bought all the ingredients and hid them up in my room until last night. After getting home from moms house about 10 pm this is what David and I put together. The kids were so excited and it was great bribery to get them to listen today. Our kids even got some after dinner.
This year Mike and I decided not to do gifts. After blowing a tire last week we had new tires put on the car, put on brakes and once again fixed the bumper. (not helping my case with what a great driver I am). The one thing that I wanted was to go golfing together. We haven't been for about 5 months and I am definitely missing it. When we walked in the door from church there were roses, a card, the Sunday paper and toothbrushes! What a man! This is the first time Mike has got me a card....EVER! It was wonderful and so unexpected. (that made it even better) Then we made the kids red pancakes with biscuits and gravy for lunch. After finally it was nap time! Day went wonderful and couldn't have been better. Even though yesterday I was longing for a vacation since we spent last V day in Florida getting ready for our cruise. Wouldn't trade today for Florida!

I stole this saying from a friends blog but love it and think everyone should see it!

"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you."
