Valentine's Day

I left a bowl full of Little Debbie snack cakes on the counter with a card that simply said, "Happy Valentine's Day. Love, Mom and Dad". This morning, each of the little ones asked me independently what we got them. When I pointed to the bowl, Kate replied, "Oh, I thought those were for Erin". Huh? And Ty said he wanted a present with a green bow. Of course. But Ty got a stomach bug instead. He started vomiting at 5am, first in his bed and then in mine. It was the start to a beautiful day. Kate joined him several hours later.

Greg risked sending me a little something this year. He's not known for gift giving so I was surprised. They were delicious. Then we had a romantic sloppy joe dinner for five before deciding who got to stay with the sick kids and who was heading to teacher conferences with Lauren and Makenna this evening. Each task was equally as pleasant. We do romance well around here; however, Erin received this at school today. Her friend, Austin apparently took his cues from some other source than us.

By the way, she said, "yes".

Love how he asked her to prom, so cute! Way to go Greg on the great gift!!! Praying the stomach bug is short lived, yuck. Our friends little boy was here last week and then started throwing up the next day. Somehow we all escaped catching it this time around.
