Valentines Day....

Yep, I'm going all the way back to February, that's what happens when you get behind. This year was pretty low key, Michael was home which was the biggest difference from last year.

Over the weekend before the boys made and decorated their own Valentines boxes!! They both needed on for school, and thanks to Pinterest we turned the average cereal boxes into cute Valentines boxes.

Valentines fell on Tuesday this year, so on Monday my parents invited the kids over for dinner and crafts while it gave Michael and I some alone time. I wish I could say we planned something romantic, we just came home, I cooked dinner and watched a movie. It wasn't anything spectacular but it was nice to spend some time just the two of us.


Valentines morning we woke up and I made heart shaped pancakes, which the boys loved!! We were both off that day, and we spent the whole day together. We took the kids to school and headed out. We caught a movie, lunch and a little bit of shopping. It was nice to spend the day together just us, with the craziness of the previous year and a half it was needed. (More on that to come.)

We came home, cooked dinner and enjoyed the strawberry cake I made. We got the boys a little gift. Their own M & M dispenser. Nothing exciting just a little something to open.

We had a great day, and we spent it with the ones we loved.....our family!!
