Happy Valentines!

We had a pretty good Valentines day this year.  Let me start out by saying that Mike's mom is the queen of holidays. She did and still does fun things for almost all holidays. Mike has a lot of good memories.  So I thought I'd give it a try.  Last year for St. Patty's I did a green breakfast that was not a hit.  Jaycee hated it, and wouldn't touch it.  Anyway this year Mike mentioned his mom used to do a hole in one breakfast.  So I tried it. You cut a heart out of a piece of bread, toast it and put an egg in the middle.  The kid's wouldn't touch it. So me and Mike got two hole in ones.  They did like the heart I cut out and put jam on, so it wasn't a total loss.  Then Jaycee was off to school. This is what she looked like when she got home.  She's so cute.

For lunch I made heart pb&j sandwiches. I don't think they even realized I cut them in the shape of a heart. Jaycee had dance later in the day.  She had fun handing out valentines this year.  She even wrote her name on all of them by herself. (Over 30 valentines!) I told her months ago that if she would learn to write her name we could go to Chuck -E- Cheese, and we did.
Back to Valentines day.  After dance we came home and had a candle light heart pizza dinner.  Both the kids loved this meal. Jaycee has wanted to eat by candle light every night since.

After dinner we put a show on for the kids and me and Mike did a puzzle.  We used to do puzzles all the time.  I don't think we have done one since before Jaycee was born.  I have asked Mike a couple of time if he wanted to do one, but its hard with little helpers so we haven't.  The kids were so good they sat on the couch till it was bed time.  So we finished in one night.  We had to stay up until 10:30, but we did it. :)

I love my family and I am so grateful for them.  Hopefully they can remember that I did try to be a good mom...at least on holidays. :)
