Sweet!

Josh and I did not get to celebrate Valentine's day on the day, or even the weekend, but we did get to celebrate. I made us a fancy dinner of lobster tails and shrimp. (I got them on sale in Jan. and kept them in the freezer for just such and occasion.) Then I made chocolate covered strawberries and peanut butter cups with the leftover chocolate. It was a weird kind of chocolate though and didn't turnout quite how I would have hoped. I ate them all anyway.

Then, Josh got me these.

I was sure I had him convinced to buy me flowers. Yes, I know they are expensive on V-Day, but they are also frivolous and I wanted them. He hates flowers because they die and they make him sneeze. Ugh. Well, He found an art show and bought me these paintings of flowers. What a sweet guy. I love them!
Someday, I still want pretty flowers.

Valentines

I love Valentine's Day! Or ValentiMes Day, as Josh says it. Yes, we discuss it. My favorite was once when my mom got us all little baskets with candy and school supplies for Valentine's Day. I think she only did it once, but I loved it! I felt so special! After that I always try to send valentines to my siblings. They need an extra day to feel special and loved. Don't we all? This year my M-I-L gave me a Martha Stewart magazine because it had cupcake recipes in it. (I love cupcakes too.) It also had ideas for Valentines. How could I resist! I just had to try them out. I made puzzle purses for my girlfriends with a poem about friendship on it and pop-up cards for my brothers and Josh. I also got free cards from a website that Misty told me about (they were so cute!) and sent them to grandmas and aunts. Ooo, I just love Love day!

I got pics of the boys cards, but forgot to get ones of the other ones. Girls please send me some! They were so cute! And my hand was so sore from cutting out hearts. That is what I get for being cute.
