Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day morning we woke up fairly early and I made pink pancakes for breakfast. I tried to make them heart-shaped at first, but that failed miserably, so we just had pink ones. It was pretty fun though. My boys got a kick out of them, so that was all that mattered! We had a pretty lazy day since I actually felt really crappy. But Stuie, in his wonderfulness made me a bath with rose petals and candles and set me up to listen to some podcasts about our upcoming Roman adventure while I soaked. It was great. I stayed in the bath for about an hour. We also watched The Rookie and then Stu watched some more TV while I wrote a paper for my Biology class. We took Kaden to the park for a bit and then headed to Spinney’s where we spent thirty freaking dollars on 4 items: Little Smokies, a 2-pound bag of frozen shrimp, Whipped Cream, and cocoa powder for baking. Thirty. Dollars.

Anyway, then we went home and made a picnic dinner on the floor of the living room like we did last year (although last year Kaden could barely roll over, so he wasn’t stealing shrimp last year! Haha). I didn’t get a picture, but we had quite a spread including shrimp cocktail, Swiss and brie cheeses with crackers and sliced baguette, grapes, strawberries, Little Smokies, and some milk (no wine this year). We watched the very romantic movie Gladiator (sense the sarcasm please) and then called it a night. All in all a very good Valentine’s Day!

We also got to open boxes from Mimi and Marcia (those her's arrived after Valentine's day) and we all got new undergarments from Mimi (hehe) and Kaden got some wife beaters and big boy undies! So cool! We also got come goodies to eat and Marcia's had a bunch of cool decorations and some pink dilly boppers (or whatever they're really called) as well as a bunch of magazines and mail! We had a great time with their gifts!

Pink pancake batter!

Everyone thought they were a hit!

Ignore our sleepy, morning eyes! :)
