Oh yeah, it’s Valentine’s and stuff…

For various reasons, I’m not a fan of this little holiday.  But now I have kids… and these kids are becoming more aware of the date.  So, fine.  Elijah got Valentine’s for his class.  He wrote all the names and signed his.  I made Elijah and Grace shirts.  I put their oatmeal into little heart shapes.  I made love bug sammies for their lunch.  I made heart shaped pizzas for dinner.  That’s it.  I thought that was enough.  Apparently, I didn’t make a Valentine for Elijah…so I made one THIS morning.  And one for Grace. 
Maybe it’s me being a bah-humbug and stuff.  Maybe.  My parents gave me little gifts on Valentines.  I just never got into this day.  Other events surrounding this day have made it more of a day of remembrance than a day of smootches and hugs.  I don’t feel like I need a special day to tell the people I love, that I love them.
Alas. 
I did host home school preschool though.  We read Valentine’s and love books.  We did a Valentine craft and then we played outside and had lots of fun!
It was a goo day.
AND I sent an e-Valentine to my folks and my inlaws…this was the pic I used…
 
So Happy Valentine’s Day and stuff.
