A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Valentines Day!

To me Valentines Day is one of those holidays that is just not on the top of my list.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love my hunny with all of my heart, and we do celebrate it with a nice dinner and a few cocktails.  But to me Valentines Day is about new love, be it in the young or the old.

This past week the kids and I got ready for Valentines Day.  We shopped and bought a pack of funny little Valentine cards.  I took pictures of them to frame as gifts for their parents.   We worked long and hard.  The photo shoot itself was exhausting!  There were so many fake smiles and closed eyes I can’t even begin to count them all.

 So our plan was to have our Valentines Day party on Friday.  We would invite Granny and Grandpa (my Mom & Dad) to come over for lunch and hand out our Valentine cards. 

Friday morning around 6:30am Caiden shows up with a giant smile on his face, yelling surprise, his arms stretching up to me as he was holding a plate of fresh baked cookies and cupcakes, and Valentine cards.   He was so happy and so very proud!

At about 6:45am Riley is knocking on the door so excited she couldn’t even speak with her arms struggling to hold 3 boxes of Valentine chocolates as she pushed them into my arms, one for me, Caiden and herself. 

It was at that moment that a giant red warning was going off in my head, shouting OMG I FORGOT TO GET ANYTHING FOR THE KIDS!  What am I going to do!

About that time Caiden said to me “do you have a surprise for me”  I said yes I do, but I can’t remember where I put it (in my mind… yes I do, but it’s still at the store).

Then I remembered Granny and Grandpa were coming over!  WHEW!  So while Grandpa stayed with the kids, my Mom and I went to pick up lunch and ran into Walgreens to pick up some gifts.  Yeah!  The day was saved! 

We had a great day, enjoyed our lunch, the company of Granny & Grandpa, ate cupcakes and candy.  No broken hearts here!
