Happy Valentines Day. We started the day off with a Valentines breakfast of heart shaped doughnuts from Kripsy Kreme, strawberry milk and strawberry yogurt. I also blessed the kids with a beautiful rendition of a made-up Valentines song while they ate - musical talent at it's finest.I sent the kids off to school with their traditional Valentines lunches which consist of a multitude of red foods - turkey wrap in a sun dried tomato/basil tortilla, red jello, red gatorade, strawberries, frosted sugar cookie, and pringles (because they come in a red package)
The boys took Valentines to share at school. I had started them yesterday afternoon but only got about a 1/4 of the way done before I had to put them aside to help with homework. Sometime around 12:30 this morning I remembered that they hadn't been finished. After a temporary bit of a breakdown I got to work. The whole time I kept telling myself "thank goodness that only 2 are in elementary school" I do not miss the days of putting together 100 valentines - 40 seemed so much more reasonable this year. I never got a picture of the Valentines (my card is full) We took pop rocks and made a "you rock/happy valentines day" label.
Not sure what fanciness I will pull out for our Valentines Day dinner. I am sure you will all be on the edge of your seats with wonder. Does Kraft Mac n Cheese seem appropriate for the holiday? With a little food coloring I think it could fit the bill.
To close...a little love shout out to Derek, Megan, Emily, Nathan and Luke - love you guys!
