Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm not big on Valentine's Day...I don't think I ever have been, though I did like making the card holders to hang on my desk that the other kids would put Valentine's Day cards into, way back when I was in school.  I liked getting the cards too.  They used to have envelopes.  I don't think they do anymore.  At least my Kindergartner's super cool Batman cards for this year don't. ;)

We were filling little man's cards out and he wanted to put the little heart stickers on me instead of the cards, because 'he loves me so much.'  Awwww, that was my Valentine's Day right there!

Hubby and I have plans coming up soon so I tried to beg off the holiday (first time I've ever tried) by saying we should not exchange gifts this year and save our money instead.  He nixed that instantly with an, 'Of course we're going to celebrate the holiday,' and that was that.  He's far more romantic than I am.  A writer at heart (his calling that he should be doing, but doesn't...but that's a different story), a dreamer... He's also very frugal and practical, so it makes me laugh that he likes such a frilly holiday (I don't laugh where he can hear me).

I, on the other hand, am not nearly as frugal, and am certainly not as practical (in a lot of ways), and I could care less about the holiday.  Go figure.

BUT, I do hope each and every one of you has a great holiday.  I'll be heading over to the Valentine's Day party at the elementary school today (I'm in charge of passing out the ice cream ;) ), and tonight we'll be going out to dinner as a family and exchanging gifts/chocolate hearts as usual.  The kids will like it, and my husband will too, so I guess that's what the day is really about.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody, if you celebrate it (happy Thursday, if you don't).

I was looking for a romantic photo of hubby and I to put up w/this post, and this one flashed across the screen.  Someone we liked  did this years ago, photoshopped it to be funny.  It made me laugh then, and it still does today.

For the record that's not my body, my combat boots, or my husband, and that's soooo not the way our relationship goes...but the picture still makes me laugh.  I'd keep searching for a better pic, but the alarm is going off, so that means the fam's getting up and I've got to get breakfast going.  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
