2.14.12

Valentine's is not my favorite holiday.  In fact, Greg and I don't really celebrate it.  We acknowledge it, but we don't exchange gifts.  We do go out for a nice dinner, but that's the extent of it.  But as a stay-at-home mom, I need holidays to orient myself and mark the passage of time, so the kiddos and I celebrated.

Alice slept in, so Rex and I made these pancakes, complete with heart shaped strawberries.

Rex (finally) got a Lighten McQueen Car and a new monster truck )

Then we made these cupcakes to take to Dad at work.

Then we found out one of my friend's father had very unexpectedly passed away so...you know, plans changed.

For dinner, we made Greg's favorite--meatloaf.  Also shaped like a heart, because we could.

Then Greg and I spent a romantic evening at the church--Greg with the scout's; me with the Laurel's. (We did go out to a nice dinner last night).
