Happy Valentine’s Day cyber world! Today is such a wonderful day, you can’t go anywhere without feeling the love in the air. I love Valentine’s Day because it celebrates one of the greatest gifts of life, love. I love my husband, but instead of sneaking off today and doing our own thing we decided to have a family Valentine’s Days. Our kids have allowed us to grow and fall in love even more and I fall deeper in love with my husband and my children every day.
This morning my husband and I woke up early and made heart shaped pancakes with pink and red M&M’s in them for Hannah and Liam. We surprised them with their first breakfast in bed. They thought it was so great they didn’t have to get dressed to have breakfast. :) It was fun being sly with my husband to surprise the kids. I don’t know why we didn’t think about doing stuff like this before.
After breakfast and the kiddo’s finally got out of bed and got dressed we went to the park to play a game of Frisbee and have a picnic lunch. It was fun getting out and being active on such a beautiful day. We may have ruined a few couples romantic park setting by running around and whipping the Frisbee around, but we sure had a fabulous time.
A few hours later and we were exhausted and ready for our picnic. Liam and Hannah thought it was funny that we were one of the only families in the park and the rest were couples. They picked out a spot in the middle of the big clearing where there weren’t that many couples. We sat there for almost two hours laughing, making duck faces, and rolling down the hill. I don’t know what got into the kids and my husband they were so silly.
We made it back to the house late in the afternoon and the kids, including my husband, fell asleep on the couches watching a movie while I made dinner. I made some spaghetti with garlic bread and a delicious Valentine’s Day cake for desert. By the time I was done cooking all my children woke up, set the table, and we had a fabulous dinner.
We concluded our family Valentine’s Day with a competitive game of sorry and apples to apples. Today has easily been one of the best Valentine’s Day I have ever had. Spending time with my three loves was so special and it definitely was a laugh filled day. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
Go Green and Stay Keen,
