Happy Valentine's Day

from my little cherubs

I didn't get into Valentine's much this year. Advanced prep and decorating kept getting pushed to the bottom of the list. Maybe next year we will do more.

I did make pink pancakes for the gals this morning, and they each got a book as a little treat (The Day the Crayons Quit for Jules, and Caps for Sale
 for Molls). We bought a box of Valentines for Juliette to take to school today (those scratch n sniff ones from Target that I bought last year and forgot how much they stink, literally).

Guess who DID get into Valentine's this year? My dearest love. Not only did I have a dozen roses and two gifts waiting for me yesterday after work, but I got a TUBA VALENTINE SERENADE at work on Wednesday. Yes, you read that right. It was unbelievable.

This was followed by a rendition of "My Girl."

I love you too, my dear. Today and every day of the year!

Our usual Valentine's beat is to get crab cakes from the meat counter at the grocery store, and eat them on our china. Buuut my parents offered to babysit tonight so we're definitely going to hit that. We'll see where we end up! Happy Friday and happy vday to you and yours.
