Valentines Day!

It was really nice to have Valentines day on a weekend. We realize we've never really spent it all together as a family. Stemming from traditions set from my growing up years. We always have little Valentines gifts set out on the table at breakfast time. For Morgan this like an extension of Christmas. So despite that it was Saturday, she woke up early and was ready for "breakfast" Well, I treasure my Saturday morning laziness so I hadn't even remembered to get things set out yet. Poor Morgan was sent to watch TV while I scurried to sign Valentine cards and throw candy on the table. Once Morgan sighted candy I scored my mother of the year points up again. So all was well at breakfast. Except the dentist wouldn't have been pleased, especially after the "sugar bug" talk we gave Morgan last week. Oh well I'm paying for it. (literally!)
As for the rest of the day, Aleah hasn't been feeling well, so Nathan had the great idea to order in Chinese and have a romantic candle light dinner as a family. It was a great success and the kids loved being more involved than having to sit at home with a babysitter while Nate and I go out. This may be the beginnings of a new tradition!
