All Hearts

I'm sitting here, sipping my gingerbread steamer, steaming at Blogger.

It's being slow.

Very slow.

Sometimes would not upload my photos.

Uploaded some photos sideways.

Oh, well.

It's a minor thing in life, right!?

Valentine's morning, I woke up to this....

For breakfast, we ate hearts.
The juice was a special breakfast treat.
It was YUM-O!


This is Aliyah's pancake.

She's already diggin' out the good stuff.



I had a little buddy stay home with me on Heart Day.
He had a fever.
Sadly, he missed his first school Valentine's party.
Minus preschool that is.
Interesting side note.....
Parker also was sick on Valentine's Day his kindergarten year.



Luckily, one of Dyl's friends dropped off his class goodies for him.
As you can imagine, he was very excited.


We dined in.
Homestyle Cafe Rio by candlelight.

Hearts that jiggle.

Molten chocolate cake

with vanilla bean ice cream

and strawberry syrup.

Hearts that are cold as ice.

Love in a breadstick.

Next up, was a game of Hullaballo.

If you don't have this game,

you really need it.

Although, you may have to protect your precious children

from getting squashed by their father.

I gave Rob the best Oakley goggles!

What's that?

You say it looks a little girlie?

Well, actually, yes, yes it does.

Because 6pm.com sent me the wrong one!!

Sadly, I discovered it when Rob OPENED his gift.

Don't you think Rob can pull off purple with rose vines?

The roses actually kind of look like skulls.

Don't you think?

Too bad I'm not a skiier.

I really like them.

BUT

not as much as I like this!
My gift from Roberto.

Isn't it precious!

My children's name in an eternal circle

complete with birthstones.

LOVE.

Parker made his ma and pa some sweet Valentine's.

I really like P Diddy's tender side.

I did 7 days of Valentine's for my family.

Each day they would find in a little gold box

a treat

and a little love note from me.

Tonight, as Parker was going to bed, he asked me if I was going to do

7 days of Valentines next year.

I said

"SURE!"

Then he asked,

"Can you do 14 days of Valentines instead?"
