Happy Valentines Day
I love Valentines Day. Brent doesn't really care for it. That's OK. I understand his reasons. He really DOES try to make me feel special every day. So no, he doesn't have to feel pressured to spend a fortune this ONE day, chosen at random, to keep up with every other husband/boyfriend/significant other in America. He's usually already way ahead. But I still like to celebrate it so I take this opportunity to dote on our children. They're really very nice children, as children go. This year I tried my hand at fortune cookies. They're pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and way more delicious than the ones you get at restaurants. I made mine giant (about 4 inches -- the scale is hard to see in the photo) and put fortunes customized to each child in theirs. I also stole those cute iPhone valentines from a fun crafty blog and customized them in Gimp. (For the record, I also "stole" those Chinese take-out boxes from Pei Wei. Just because Brent and I didn't have any Vietnamese Caramel Chicken left over to bring home doesn't mean we can't have a couple of boxes, right?) So, Happy Valentines Day one and all! If you are reading my random ramblings, I love you.

ReplyDeleteDid Cassie get anything for Valentine's Day?? :-)
Cassie got to eat all the broken pieces as I was figuring things out last night. She probably ended up with more fortune cookie than my kids!
