This morning we enjoyed heart shaped pancakes made by dad. He always makes a good effort for these special occasions.
Breakfast
Look at those milk bubbles!
There were of course the usual door hearts with those little things we love about them.
He gets the forced smile from his father
It seems that sometimes nothing makes this one happy!
I did feel like a bit of a Valentine's loser this year. Usually we'll make sugar cookies, but I didn't have any flour yesterday when I went to do it and it was pouring with rain outside. Spenser was on his way back from Phoenix, and I lacked the motivation to drag 3 kids out to the store. The continuous heavy rain really put a damper on my spirits and so we all now suffer from my lack of luster. Sorry.
Spenser had also done a little shopping which we agreed not to do. I finally got to feel the way he must feel when I tell him that we're not going to exchange gifts and then I break our arrangement. It kind of stinks. I won't do it again! I did get some great new running shoes out of it though!
So, happy day. I hope you were feeling the love! I was grateful to have my valentine home. I always miss him. He really is helpful around here. Thanks for being so patient, kind, and forgiving.

I keep telling Brad to stop being so dang helpful...then I wouldn't get so upset when he isn't around...but of course I don't really mean that.
You are a better mommy than me :) My kids did get heart shapped pancakes (but not nearly as pretty as teh ones Spense made) and that was about it. Every year I intend to make cookies with them and every year something keeps me from doing it. One of my goals this year is to do more with teh kids- although they are getting old enough that it just isn't "cool". . . hmmmm And poor Mike got nothing this year. Not that we do much anyways but I usually do a card or something,, lol!
