We didn't do much today, Mr Smith did do a little drywall this morning, he was gone for about 45 minutes. Then we all just stayed home because the weather was so crummy. A shocker, I know. I am so over winter.
We made this love note heart garland at Activity days on Wednesday. We left a little pocket in one of the hearts to leave "love notes" in for our family members. This one is Elasta Girls. She didn't think we had seen her note, so she tucked it in a more noticeable spot.
During the day the girls made Mr Smith and me Valentines.
These two are mine.
And, these two are Mr Smith's
Aren't they sweet? I love our girls.
We were very glamorous and extravagant this year. I got Mr Smith a $6 seed starting "thing" and he got me a rose shaped chocolate and a Valentine mug from the dollar store.
We gave the girls both stuffed animal puppy dogs. But mostly, we had a yummy dinner.
For a couple of years now, I have decorated the dinner table on Valentines Day with crape paper, candles and candy.
Ru was saying "Mom, what are you doing? Like the hands on her hips? She means business.
I made "egg noodle" Alfredo ( I didn't have any fettuchini noodles) with grilled chicken and broccoli. A nice one dish dinner. (spell check doesn't understand my "fettuchini" spelling)
French bread and butter,
and sparkly strawberry lemonade to drink. (Country Time strawberry lemonade mixed with 2 cans of Sprite and some sliced strawberries just to be fancy)
It is also a tradition to make caramel fondue for dessert. I was to preoccupied eating the caramel fondue to take pictures of it. But we had apples, bananas, pears and donuts to dip. It was perfect.
Elasta Girl drew hearts on her and Ru's face but they didn't stay very long. Thank heavens for washable markers. As a side note: I tend to color streaks in Ru's hair with Crayola markers from time to time. All the while saying: "don't ever do this to yourself "
And a little crack for your viewing enjoyment. Happy Valentines Day everybody.
