Happy Love Day

Lovey Dovey Day was Fabulous...
the kids got their annual candy gram when they woke up
Matt and I had an wonderful lunch date
and spent the entire day together. I love this man so much.
and we had our annual family Valentines Dinner.

We all had a great day full of love.

Jess worked all week making sure she had something for everyone in the family for Valentines this year. After she proudly delivered her handmade cards and carefully purchased treats to each of us (she got me a rose :)

I asked the boys if they had something for her?

Logan ran to his school stash and carried a treat behind his back and then told her to shut her eyes, he then shoved a candy in her awaiting hands and said..."Happy Valentines Jess, love ya."

Hunter climbed up on a chair and then announced that his card for her was oral....he then said....
"Dear Jessica,..." and proceeded to "tell her" what he would of written in a card and dutifully ended it. "Love Hunter."

Then Hunter looked at Logan as he was climbing back down and said.
" r'member when I let you go first yesterday on wii, that your valentines, k? Let's go play"

That satisfied Logan as that was more than he was giving Hunter and they were off.

I Love it.


Jess and Hunter had to make their own mailboxes for school. Jess my little competitive gal...HAD to start planning it the minute we learned of this...as they would be judged. So she stewed and glued and came up with this heart pillow man that held a mailbox that when it opened and it sung "Makes you Wanna Shout" which she cut out from a musical card and rigged it so it would sing when the mailbox opened. Clever huh?

She REALLY wanted to win, she said she had to write up a plan of her project in school and she wrote how much she wanted to win even though her mom told her winning wasn't was important. Well at least she heard it. So...

She stressed.

We tried to de-stress her.

She won.




Hunter made his without much discussion with his mom. About 20 less discussions than Jess and I had about hers. He was busily making his box about an hour before bed the night before and was very content with his shipping box mailbox and could care less if he won or not.
I thought is was great too.

He didn't stress.
He didn't win.



Hmm. Man, parenting would sure be easier if they all came out the same, but not near as entertaining.
