happy valentine's day

since nick face apparently hates valentines day I have had to be valentinee for the both of us. its been red and pink attire week this week, and planned my valentines day surprises as the week as gone on.

I understand the dislike some people have for the "hallmark-ization" of valentine's day but I have no hatred for telling the people you love them that you do, and taking some time to make them feel special. my family has long since not bought cards for valentine's day and instead taken the time to hand make something special.

my valentine's this year....various animals made from hearts with corny sayings using puns on the animal. (I was going to take a pic of all fo them, but I sealed the envelope before I remembered)

and my valentine's day...valentine's surprise breakfast for the nickface. strawberry heart shaped pancakes, sausage, eggs and orange juice. a good thing that nick was already up when I got up to make food...since our wonderful smoke alarm went off in the process. again was going to take a pic, but our food was fully devoured before I remembered

we then went to see confessions of a shopaholic, and then lunched with honey chipotle chicken crispers, a love of ours.

this evening I made heart shaped strawberry pies. these I did manage to take a pic of.


so dont hate on valentine's day. make the most of this holiday, don't buy into the commercialism if you dont want. but take sometime to give a hug so someone you know or love.
