Welcome to my crazy life! As a mommy to 3 adorable boys my days are full of adventure and fun. I am realizing that time goes by so quickly and I don't want to forget all the cute things that the boys say and do. I hope that this blog will serve as a journal to record all those precious moments...

Valentine's Day 2013


Valentine's Day started off with the boys being surprised when they came downstairs to see a love note from Dennis and I and a mini light saber that holds M&M's, at the kitchen table..  To say they were excited doesn't even come close.  They couldn't believe we bought light sabers, even though they were small.  We started this tradition of surprising them with a small treat on Valentine's day a couple years ago and I love it.  We only spend a couple dollars, but it is so nice to see their excitement.

The boys were SO excited this year when they got home from school.  They each had a bag full of valentine's from school that they dumped out so they could go through them.  They had Valentine parties at school, which they were excited to tell me about too.

Logan was home today, but he can't wait to go to school tomorrow and see what he got.  Today, he just spent time with me and Leah.  Dennis surprised me with a delivery of flowers which was awesome, especially because I wasn't having the best day.  I wasn't feeling well and I was extremely sore from working out yesterday for the first time since early pregnancy.

Dennis then picked up sushi for us on his way home from work and McDonald's for the boys.  Fast food is a treat for them because we rarely eat it.  Our long drives to VA and the occasional time Dennis is out of town and we are in a rush for dinner are pretty much the only time's we eat fast food.  Colin didn't even know what McDonald's was until he was maybe 3 and he didn't have a french fry for the first time until he was about that same age.  We always order happy meals with fruit for them and milk instead of juice/soda or fries.  They don't even ask for fries, though now the happy meals have to come with fries and fruit, so we don't even have the option to not get fries.  I know one day they will ask for fries and something other than milk, but while they are little and don't care, I figure why give them junk if you don't have to.

Anyway, it wasn't the most exciting Valentine's Day, but it was still nice to take a moment to remind each other how much we love each other.
