Valentine's Day

My Valentine's breakfast started out with Ethel M's chocolates and a Diet Coke with lime from my husband.  The older boys got there special egg and toast breakfast made by dad and Cadyen and Kyle got heart shaped pink pancakes with chocolate chips and whipped cream.  While the boys were at school we heart attacked their rooms.  We took about 20 sticky notes each and wrote thing about each of the boys and then stuck them in a heart shape on their doors.  We put Cayden's on his wall above his bed.  We told them special things we like about them and some of their talents.  They haven't yet taken those notes off the wall.  They each got a little valentine M&M candy and a note from mom and dad brought them their own special Ethel M chocolate bar,  Cayden got to have his valentine's party at school and then we decorated heart cookies after school WITH SPRINKLES!!  Connor got a special Valentine from Sister Elaine Whipple, a older lady who lives around the corner from Grandma and Grandpa.  Connor always checks on her and goes over to see if she needs any help.  She gave him a heart balloon and a bottle of nuts.  Connor was thrilled.  And lest you think that we forgot our dad, we did not!  He got his own big heart shaped Reese's Pieces peanut butter cup.  Oh and we had sent a Valentine box off to Cody and his companion with candy and Pez dispenser and even Valentine's cards so he didn't get left out either.  I'm glad that I don't go too overboard each year because then I don't have any huge expectations to live up to!  It's nice to have traditions!
