To start I want to include what my facebook post said...
Ok not such a sap for bragging about the hubby but he totally deserves it! Love that you have been my Valentine for 9 yrs couldn't imagine life without you! Thanks for all the SURPRISES they were extra special since we usually don't celebrate much. Love that we are "CUPID" together for the kids, Ashlyn's face this morning seeing all the <3 hearts <3 around was priceless! Love that we just had a dance party to Katy Perry in the middle of the Kansas basketball halftime LOVIN' LIFE! xoxo <3 Happy Valentine's everyone! xoxoxo
Like I said I am really not a bragger but since this is my blog where I keep my journal and I want to remember here it is....
So first...CUPID came to the house once the kids went to bed.
Last night was tough. Ashlyn was not feeling well so I was sleeping in her bed...good thing for Eric cause he had a whole bunch of surprises to plan... I am going to tell the story as the day came to me. Eric woke me up early and sad to be quiet cause he had made us a FULL breakfast. We were trying to get a little date in... It worked! It was a perfect way for us to begin our Valentine's Day. I felt so special. This was more than we usually did so I was excited. Unfortunately I had to leave the dishes for him cause I had to go to work. Got Ash all dressed up, she seemed to be doing a little better, and off we went with Valentine Cards for the children & teachers and Snickerdoodles for Ashlyn's class.
sorry for the grouchy face... she didnt feel well ~ but she was having fun!
When we go to school. We passed out the Valentine's for the teachers. Ash was a little clingy ~ not feeling well... Then made bags to hold their Valentine Cards...that was fun. I felt like a mommy and I don't always get to do that at work. I enjoyed my time in the classroom. So then I had to do a few on my normal responsibilities and walked into my kitchen... Saw this...
Yes OMG Eric had woken up even earlier than I had thought to make me breakfast... He came and dropped off Flowers, a balloon and this beautiful card. Ok so I thought my days was perfect before this surprises....now I feel AWESOME!
seriously funky smile from ashie...haha
love this one when the girls are looking at each other!
Ash ended up getting sick (throwing up) so I left work and brought her home. I was sad because this meant she was missing her party but I knew we had a fun day planned at home. Eric was home so I was able to see my Valentine again! Any excuse for another kiss right?
At work we had a luncheon. It was fun.
Then home to start our afternoon celebrating... Well since Ashlyn was sick she took a 4 hour nap. Colt did too not sure he feels well either. We hung out! It was nice. Then when Michelene came home we went to the grocery store we were cooking in tonight and so excited about that. Once we came home we made a delicious dinner, while we were cooking Ash, Colt and I were having a dance party to Katy Perry. I forgot to mention that it was in the middle of the Kansas halftime...haha... It was so fun! Our kids love to dance! I love it! Can't wait for Ashley & Ross' wedding.... we are going to have so much fun!
both kids in valentine's shirts and undies for ash & diaper for colt... i don't know why it just happened that way!
Colton hiding his messy face! From the jelly on our biscuits!
It was a perfect day. I felt so special. I spent time with my three favorite people. I hope Eric knows he is always my number ONE! I'd rather be with him more than anyone else in the world. I hope and pray that I will never let the hustle and bustle of life with children push that to the corner of my mind. I promise I will never let that happen. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have Eric as MY VALENTINE!
