Happy Valentine's Day

I had big plans for the morning - to get up early and make heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. I woke up to a lovely pounding headache! So I laid in bed for a little bit longer than I should have. Finally got up and took some pills. Laid back down for a few minutes in hopes the pills would kick in quickly (sadly it did not!) I got up and got myself ready for work and then headed downstairs to set up the breakfast table.

Each kid got a card from me and Mr. Man. Plus, my mom had sent them each a little activity book and stickers so I had all that on the table waiting for them! They were so cute when they each got up - one by one - going into the kitchen and finding their surprises. No heart-shaped pancakes, but they didn't seem to mind!

I also packed a chocolate covered heart-shaped marshmallow in their lunch as a surprise!

The kids are, of course, having parties at school today. Spirit's class decided to do a morning party and asked the families to contribute a breakfast item so we sent in bagels. Lefty's class is having a party right before the end of school and the teacher purchased everything and asked each kid to contribute $1. Lady Bug's class is having a party after lunch with the cookies and cupcakes, etc. We sent in cookies for that (you know those really yummy thick sugar cookies with frosting! mmm mmm mmm)

For dinner we are doing all red foods (well not ALL red...) We are having parmesan chicken with a side of pasta and marinara sauce, a salad topped with tomatoes, Cran-Raspberry juice to drink and a pink frosted cookie!

Are the cookies heart shaped? Bill and I have known each other since 5th grade, when he was the new (and very cute) boy in my class. An earliest memory is that his mom baked heart shaped, pink frosted, sugar cookies for each child in her 3 kid's classes!

Sounds like a great start to the day (with out without the heart shaped pancake!).

I hope your headache goes away and that you can enjoy the rest of your day!
