The snow is melting and Valentines Day has come to an end...







So we are just getting over our two days off school due to snow and ice. My house was trashed due to me just taking the last few days off and playing in the snow with the kids. Today started with getting the kids off to school, coming home getting ready. Jamie giving me a gift after we said no gifts (last May when I got my 3rd wedding ring, yes this is my 3rd from him. long story! he said he was not buying a gift for me for a whole year. He has not stuck to that. He tries to be tough but he's not.) We dropped Ryan off at my friends house and then we were off to meet with the adoption agency to um I don't know touch base. It was a good visit, I had a few questions and Jamie had a few so it was good. After, Jamie met his business partner and I took off to pick up Ryan and Luke. Little Ry greeted me with a high pitched "hi!" I love his sweet voice. When I picked up Luke he said "Happy Valentines Day Mommy!" So sweet. When we got home he saw my card and said "no fair!" I knew Jamie got something for him but wanted to wait so that Jamie could give it to him. We cut out hearts and wrote letters to Dad and taped them on his office door. Aubs came home and I started to clean. Aubs and Luke wanted to help (oh, joy) I let them do a few things but they only wanted to help with things that could make more of a mess. For V-Day dinner I planned steak, cheese potatoes, greens and chocolate covered strawberries. We forgot to take the steak out of the freezer so we had chicken nuggets to replace the steak, oops! Jamie gave the kids a box of chocolates and some stickers. They were thrilled. Luke took a bite of the chocolate and kindly re-gifted the chocolates to me. It was gross chocolate. We hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!
