Happy Fun Kid day

So because we have a busy household and a busy life, time seems to fly by, so we have a few days that we take advantage of as stop and smell the roses days.  I wish we could have even more of them, but one of those days is St. Valentine's day. We have them ever so often, just a day to enjoy the children, do fun things, shut off the phones, turn off the computers, and just have some fun.  We try to find days that are not to far in between, but just days to cause excitement and days we can just be Mom and Dad and not so much homemakers, breadwinners, dinner makers, car drivers and all else that we do.

I helped the little ones make Valentines this year, the big kids came home with made Valentines for each of their siblings.  I made Steve a heart wreath, pictured above.  I took pictures of the kids, and Steve surprised me with dinner just me and him which we NEVER EVER do, but it was so nice for us.  He also brought me home some roses and the funny thing was he walked in with a huge jumbo pack of toilet paper, well the roses were hidden behind and I look at him like, "umm....yeah...thanks for stopping and buying toilet paper...haha"  Then out popped the roses, and the kids say, "what about us?" teasingly and he says, well I have a 12 pack roll of toilet paper, you each get one. hahahaha.  I love a man with a great sense of humor.  Ah, I love my guy!  (insert hug and kiss here)
