My Little Valentines


I have to do a little backtracking and talk about our Valentine's evening. I had wanted to do something really fun, creative, and exciting for the kids but the day got away from me as usually and the only stop I made was at Walmart that morning. I grabbed a $2 plastic hearts tablecloth and got a few things so we could get out the chocolate fountain for the second time ever.

I had lots of ideas in my mind for dinner but I ended up calling Eric to stop and get some sushi on his way home. I put the table cloth on and set the table with our every day dishes and some flowers that Eric ended up bringing home to me and that was it. When we called the kids downstairs for dinner however, you would think they had died and gone to heaven. Taylor kept saying this was the best day ever and they all showed geniune excitement in just the little things. I hadn't even gotten the chocolate fountain and its goodies set out yet! I love this stage my kids are in as even the little things (a $2 tablecloth) can bring smiles and good times to our dinner table. I hope it lasts for a long time to come.
