Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was on a Monday this year....and I wasn't interested in taking two kids out to dinner. We considered finding a babysitter, but in the end we just decided to celebrate Miss Abbey's FIRST Valentine's Day at home. I made baked ziti...was going to make mac and cheese because it's the WHOLE family's favorite but I was out of elbows. :) This is a close second. Here is my little girl in her First Valentine's Day bib at breakfast.... Daddy sent Mommy flowers! Mommy loves surprises like this from Daddy, it makes me feel special and I don't know...I just got a big smile...and Adam LOVES flowers now. He spent all day (and all week) wanting them. I'd put them in the kitchen and he'd stand at the gate going FLOWRS FLOWRS MA. I tried to teach him to "smell the roses" but it sounds like the blowing on hot food noise to him so he got it a little confused. I made Todd cupcakes...I wanted them to be heart shaped, but it didn't work out that way...I made a few with a heart shaped "top layer". Mmmmm I ended up eating more then him that week. UH-OH That's why I don't bake...I eat it! Wait, look at the card. The flowers are from the A-team :) Makes my heart melt. BUT turns out Mr. John's forgot the chocolates that were supposed to be with it. I LOVE the Man in the Moon chocolates. Probably better for my diet SIGH Love you Todd. And my two little Valentine's, too :)
