Happy Valentine's Weekend?

I am not sure about anybody else but I feel like we have been celebrating Valentine's Day all weekend long, probably even longer than that.

Our youngest son, AD, is in preschool and since they don't have school on Fridays they had their Valentine party on Thursday.

Then our middle son, C, was supposed to have his party on Friday but due to a really bad headache he stayed home. Luckily, his teacher collected all of his Valentine's for him and he got to open them that day. He also got 2nd place in the class Valentine Box contest.

Here he is holding up his prize.



Then on Saturday we had a very busy day. We went to a Valentine's party with some Hip Mamas. The boys got to do crafts, exchange Valentine's and swim.

Saturday evening my in-law's volunteered to watch the kids so that we could have some alone time. Not only did they offer to watch our kids they offered to watch ALL the grandkids and that is A LOT of kids. They are quite brave.

My hubby and I went out to eat and walked around the nearby mall. Of course, while we were doing this it started to SNOW. Because you know we couldn't go a week without snow. (No, I am not being sarcastic. Really, I'm not. Right.)

I probably should also mention that while hubby and I looked around the mall I got my Valentine's gift. While I am not really that into chocolates or diamonds I am a sucker for a kitchen gadget or appliance. Since I have really been in to making waffles lately we upgraded my $7 waffle maker to this....



and I LOOOVVVEE it.

Since it was snowing quite a bit and it was a long drive home we ended up staying at my in-laws for the night and I got to use my wonderful gift this morning to make everyone some of these yummy chocolate waffles. They are just sooo good. It was nice to be able to do something for my in-laws since they do so much for us even if it was just breakfast.

And now it is actually Valentine's Day but we are really just too tired to celebrate it anymore. The kids and hubby are on the couch watching a movie and I am zoned out in front of the computer.

Hopefully the rest of you have more energy than me and I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Valentine's Day!
