I've never been a big Valentine's Day person. Never really saw why we had to go and buy lots of stuff and flowers and food to show someone we loved them. I thought that was what anniversaries were for. But now that I have kids I'm getting into it! Maybe it's b/c my birthday is 6 days after the overpriced holiday and so I've never told Brandon we had to celebrate V'day, we can wait until my birthday to celebrate something.

I remember as a kid my mom having a little gift for us on the counter at breakfast and making heart shaped pancakes. I loved it! Maybe that's why I was confused. Everywhere you went they made it a romantic holiday, but I was shown at home that you told everyone you love, "I love you!"

So, I got the kids a little treat and was going to make a special breakfast, but they just want the rest of the chocolate chip banana bread we made earlier this week and goldfish. I think they get it. Brandon is on call (again!) so I'm hoping that it stays sunny and the kids and I can have a fun afternoon. I'm looking forward to a great sermon at church and S.S. this morning.

Oh, and we had probably one of the best dates we've had in a long time. You know how sometimes you get out and all you can think to talk about is the kids? We talked about everything but the kids! Then did some window shopping. It was fun! Hope you have a great day!
