Oh Valentine's day, a day to reflect on how much you love someone.
Jersey was so excited when she was invited to a Valentine's party. It was a lot of fun. I got to go to help my friend with the seven little girls that were invited. It was nuts. We decorated cookies, played games, made hair ties and my favorite painted nails. I even painted Phoenix's nails. He thought he was so cool.
Mike also got to get in on the action of our day. He stayed home from work today. Not because of the big storm that we got last night but because he is sick. He was starting to feel better and then he went and played basketball. That took him over the edge, right back to the couch. I am so thankful that I haven't gotten anything but a sore throat from all the sickness that has been in my house. It hard being a mom to sick kids but even harder when it's your spouse. I felt so guilty when I was cleaning or helping the kids because I felt like I was making him nervous. I sure I did. Oh Well.
Because Mike was sick I went out and shoveled snow. I can't wait to see how my body is going to feel. It was the worst time to get to shovel. The upside is that I have done my exercise for the next two months. I think this was worse then two Sunday's ago, because I had to do it all by myself. But it got done. If we had to leave earlier this morning there was no way we could've. The only way in our house from the outside is through the gargage.
Valentine's day isn't one of my most favorite holidays. After being married for 6 years I have come to realize that my husband, the good man that he is, always fall short on this day. I use to make a big deal about it but I have come to terms that in my world he shows that he loves me everyday and I don't need a special day for him to go all out. So I will just focus my engeries on the kids. I made a special dinner and for dessert we had brownies with thin mint ice cream. Also some chocolate covered strawberries.

Since Tuesday she has been working on valentines for her classmates. I totally forgot that we had to make a box to carry all the valentines. Lucky I found a box and covered it with some scrapbook paper. I let Jersey pick stickers and put those on the box. To make it complete I wrote her name in glitter. When I got to the party my friend Sarah asked if I made this box this morning or did I already have it made. I told her how we worked on it this morning. She laughed and said that she couldn't believe that I would have all that stuff on hand. I thought yeah I have to much.
After Jersey's party she was so excited to tell us all about it. It was really sweet to hear her say "I love you" and give hugs and kisses.

yeah, i decided valentine's day is kind of lame. some people call it single awareness day, but for me, it's just a realization that my high hopes and expectations are never met. this year, i had no expectations and so eventhough it was just a normal day, i didn't care! :)
