I used to be more creative. I would take time to work with the boys to make Valentine's for the grandparents, decorate the house, and frost Valentine's cookies. I learned this from my mom, who was excellent at holidays. She would put little notes in our lunches, let us decorate cookies, make pink heart shaped pancakes with red hots, and the list goes on.
At the Morgan home, this year, it looked more like this:
- Totally thrown of schedule by Valentine's Day being on a Monday.
- Spent last Saturday trying to get house back in order and get piles of grading done...therefore, did not take cute picture of boys with heart pillow, as have done in all years past.
- Decided to have boys use potato stamps to decorate paper that would then be made into cards. On the 13th, scrapped this idea and printed HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY on cute pink scrapbook paper that will never be used otherwise.
- Printed old photo of boys, from Christmas, spelling out LOVE with their little bodies (very cute).
- Had boys work in sweat-shop-like conditions to sign all cards and glue pictures onto the front.
- Let boys roll out heart shaped cookies...ran out of time to frost.
- Quickly made little valentine's for the boys at 11:00 at night, before retiring to bed.
- Forgot that spouse would probably like one, too...quickly made one at 6:00 in the morning before heading to work.

Sam gets a store bought bag of candy and a teddy bear that came free with the cards that I bought because I was to lazy to make handmade ones with my fabulous new cricut. And dinner is on him, I told him he could go ahead and order pizza and get some coke. Happy Valentine's! Haha!
