We Do What We Can

Valentine's Day was pretty low-key. I surprised J with a gourmet romantic dinner when he got home from jiu jitsu Friday night. We first kissed on Feb. 13th, so I guess you can consider it "our" Valentine's Day.
Yes, that is a frozen pizza. But hey, it's Digiorno! Fancy frozen pizza! And yes, it's at our counter because we don't have a dining room table, and yes, that's a high chair in the background. Like I said, we do what we can!

I like to make even the little holidays special for my boys. It's the little things that I know they will remember when they grown. We always have pancakes on Saturday morning but I made them pink and heart-shaped for the special day.
Then I started a new tradition, where I will bake and decorate each of my boys their own special giant cookie for Valentine's Day. Hopefully my decorating skills will improve as the years go on... Oh well, they were delicious and that's what matters right?
We also had popcorn in Valentine bowls for a snack.
Did I overdo it?

You are so much more creative than me! I'm going to start picking your brain for ideas! Those are the little things your kiddos and hubby will always remember and cherish!

I feel honored to be compared to your coolness. :) I'll agree- I think we think a lot alike on a lot of things! LOL! One of these days we will definitely have to grab some lunch or dinner or just hang out. :)

I love this. I always want and plan to do something like this. I had great intentions for valentines. I bought stuff to make a cake and some fun decorations. Then about a week later i found everything still in the bag. I totally forgot about it!
