I'm more than just a little behind on this post. Sorry...we were out of town for a few days--more on that later.
This is the first year that the kids have really enjoyed Valentine's Day and had fun with it. They woke up to some candy, cards, heart-shaped toast with strawberry jam, and oatmeal with strawberries. Later, we had lunch with Grandma Kim ("...because we love her and it's Valentine's Day Mom?") and for dinner we had a heart-shaped pizza. A fun day all around with much discussion about whhyyyy we have Valentine's Day and whhhyyyy Mom and Dad would buy Valentine's cards and candy and whhhyyy people love each other. Pretty cute and a pretty abstract holiday to explain to almost-four-year-olds.
Asked as we're leaving Papa Murphy's: "Mom, did that guy make our Valentine's pizza for us because he looooves us?"
We even had to cut the individual pieces into hearts. Not as easy as it sounds. Two words will be the key to your success here--angular hearts.
As for the adults, we had Thai takeout, gorged ourselves on yummy desserts from Whole Foods and watched one of the greatest love stories of all time, The Office: Season 3. :) I know, I know, some haters out there (Spencer) will try to say that it is just a workplace comedy. True fans know that this is simply not true. It is a love story. SIGH. The love story of Jim Halpert and Pam Beesley. (Returning with new episodes April 10th!!!!!!)

I wish I could have come to have pizza, thai food and all those yummy things from whole foods.... Oh and to gives those kiddos a big hug and try and talk them into being my Valentine! Miss you!!! Next time we see each other can we have heart shaped toast?
I thought about them all day on Valentine's Day thinking that they were probably asking a lot of questions. I had a great day too. I got to go to work...twice!
Tell the twins that I love them and miss them. (oh, and...I kinda like you too.)
Um...so much to say. You need to come visit because Brooke would be in her element with her cousins (they are cousins, right? This family gets me all confused!)
Look at you, healthy mom...bell peppers and all. I guess Grandma Charlene used to order cheese pizzas (cheaper) and put the toppings on at home. I am sure all the kids loved that!
And yes, it is all about "PAM" with "The Office". Ask Dane, that's how I finally got hooked.
