I love Valentine's Day. I don't think it has to be all about your significant other. I think its a great chance to take a moment and let your friends and family know how much you love and appreciate them.
With Justin off in California we decided to send him a "love package". We mailed it Friday hoping it would get to him today. It did but he didn't get home in time to pick it up from his apartment office. Inside his package is a brand new (hand made : ) ) rice hot/cold pack, his favoite candy and valentines from all of us.
Julie Morton and I were going to have a little party with our kids tonight since both of our husbands are working out of town but with Alexis still being so sick we had to call it off. I still tried to make it a fun day for them. In the morning I made heart pancakes and even offered to make them pink. Ariana thought that was a fabulous idea Alexis thought "pink doesn't sound good for my tummy." (having a sick kiddo isn't very fun!) Alexis even turned down chocolate milk. Not Ariana though. She ate all the pancakes and had pink chocolate milk. We also made sure Alexis had valentine's for her class. She is starting to miss her friends a lot but is having such low energy that laying down is all that sounds good so I let her have a day full of movies with little interuptions of homework. For dinner we had subway and watched Alpha and Omega (horray for free red box codes).
These are the chocolate lollipops I made for Alexis valentine's. Ariana had fun taking pictures of everything so from her height this is what they looked like.

Those treats look so good! I hope Alexis feels better soon so she can see her friends at school again!
looks like you had fun. The kids really enjoyed the crats and cake you brought! Thank you so much!
You are such a cute mom! I have been such a slacker mom with this pregnancy and it is KILLING me! I love doing little things like this that make my kids smile. One day I will be able to do it again.
