You know it's Valentines when...


All your dishes in the sink have glitter all over them.
I think even the clean ones in the dishwater still have a little. :)
Glittery boxes were made
school class parties attended.
heart shaped cookies baked and frosted.
Dentist appointments
{wait! that's not suppose to happen! Holiday foul...what was I thinking?}
Home-made Valentines.
Secret Valentine's at the door.
But the mr. was missing tonight.
Out of town for work.
Setting up a conference till the break of dawn.
St. Valentine needs to shoot an arrow to whomever is in charge of conference scheduling.
So the kids and I made the best of it.
We ate a heart shaped pizza
decorated some cookies.
They told me how sad they were that "Dad was gone on Valentines"
So we called him
and
wrote love letters
and then it was off to bed.
I feel pretty lucky to have three little loves to wish me a Happy Valentine
and give me a kiss and a hug.
It made my lonely heart happy tonight.

Happy Love Day everyone!
