Happy Valentine’s Day!!

We celebrated Valentine’s on Friday with our homeschool group. We lined our home-made boxes up and the card dropping began.

Random insert: I forgot I had these pictures of our family, at the park, in the rain. Which I might add was the best day ever! We played baseball and played in the water. We had the park all to ourselves and it was just plain old fun!

Anyway, back to Valentine’s.

John has his little theory on holidays such as Valentine’s, and I quote, “These holidays are Hallmark’s way of making money.” He thinks that about Mom’s day and Dad’s day as well.

We compromise by not buying anything from Hallmark on those days. So we always make some homemade Valentine’s cards for each other.

John and I make sure we have a little something for the kids when they wake up in the morning. It’s usually just the $1 box of chocolates but they love it!

I even received a few Valentine’s from some of my dear friends, which was unexpected and SUPER nice! Thank you my friends for the soap, cookies, chocolates, candy, and the cards! I really am blessed with amazing friends!

John was sweet to me, he made dinner and dessert which was yummy! And he brought home some flowers for my empty vase. Valentine’s is usually pretty low key for us. I like celebrating Valentine’s with the kids, as a family.

Happy late Valentine’s Day!!
