I tend not to make a big deal about Valentine's Day. Holidays and gift-giving aren't Kurtis' forte and it tends to just bog me down if he doesn't celebrate it as I hope he would. But this year, the kids seemed to get into the spirit of things. Isabel and Daddy went to the pharmacy the other night to pick a prescription and before I knew it, they had gotten something for everyone for Valentine's Day.
So while, Kal and I were out the other day, we picked up V-Day straw cups for all the kids and little stuffed animals holding candy. Last night before bed, I lined up everyone's little Valentine's things and this morning the kids were SO excited to see their goodies. It made my day to have something that made them smile. Then I was able to send them on to school looking forward to their classroom parties and such. What a fun way to focus on today without being down about what Kurtis might or might not have done to celebrate. Tonight, as requested by Sam, we will order a Papa John's Pizza in a heart-shape and then we will sit on the couch as a family and watch a movie. What a wonderful way to focus on my blessed life.
I will throw in the cute things the kids have said lately. The other day, while driving home from the bus stop, Sam says "Mom, when you die, I will not be mad at you. I'll know that you didn't mean to leave me but you just got old and died". Isabel replied "SAM! You are not supposed to call a person old. It's rude!" It was very funny how upset she was that I was called old but no one seemed bothered by my impending death.
Isabel also informed me yesterday that her teacher, Mrs. Worman, has 3 sons and therefore "she has no one who loves shopping!" So Isabel suggested that we go out and buy her some clothes so she can look cute at school. She has really bonded with her teacher and really thinks the world of Mrs. Worman!
