I don't think I have ever gone this long without blogging before. In my defense, Joey was having some technical difficulties getting the Blog to load pictures. He finally got it working, so I'm hoping to be better about it. Although, I haven't had a whole lot to blog about lately. This is kind of a slow time of year for us at home. We spend most weekends at home since the weather is always cold. We are very much looking forward to spring and getting outside and do fun things again!
Valentine's Day was a fun one this year. It fell on a Friday, so both kids went to school and I had to work as well. They were very excited to bring Valentine's Day cards to their friends and have their class parties. Dawson chose Thomas the Train valentines and Ashlyn picked Frozen valentines. They came home with bags full of cards and candy.
We are a pretty loving house everyday. We are constantly telling one another how much we love each other. I must tell Dawson and Ashlyn 100 times a day how much I love them. Dawson has started to say, "I love you sooo much it hurts." Ashlyn makes us love letters just about every day. One morning, she woke me up and handed me a Valentine's day card. It said "Dear Mom, Thanks so much for all the love". It was the nicest card anyone has ever given me. So really, Valentine's Day is not really a super special day at our house, since we show one another love all the time. Joey and I still wanted to make it a little special for the kids.
We took a vote and everyone decided that they wanted pizza for dinner. After working all day, Joey and I decided it would be the perfect quick choice. I wanted to make it a little more special though. Ashlyn and I decided we would eat dinner in the dining room on the our wedding china. We have lived in this house for almost a year, and have not once eaten in the dining room. Joey and I decorated the table before the kids got home and placed a few small treats at their place settings.
When they got home, they were excited to see their surprises. We had a great dinner together. It was nice sharing how our days had gone. It was funny, but eating in the dining room kind of did feel like eating at a restaurant, without the crowds and expense. It was a very enjoyable dinner. After dinner, we all cuddled on the couch and watched a movie like we do every Friday night. For dessert, Ashlyn and I made heart shaped brownie sundaes. They were the perfect ending to an even more perfect night.
