valentine's day

both kids got a ridiculous amount of valentines and treats at school today!  not to mention goodie packages from both sets of grandparents.  i went out and bought them balloons from matt and me after dropping them off this morning.  maddux was the happiest boy in the world to help carry all three through the grocery store.  it was also funny to see all of the men doing their floral shopping - they just seemed so confused and out of their element.

madelyn brought valentines, candy and cups for her valentine's day party at school and i had signed mason up for "goodie bag/treat" along with bringing valentine's day cards for his party.  we got a little craft, a bouncy ball and playdoh for each of the kids and put them in a little pink bag.  i figured that they were getting enough candy already and didn't add any to the bag.  we were way off on the goodie bag!  mason got several goodie bags (even though we were the only one's signed up) from kids in his class.  there were stuffed animals, candies, pencils, toys, coloring books, stickers, etc. - in just one of them!  oh well.  matt thought i had gotten too much and i would have bought more.  we also didn't write mason's name on the goodie bags which, again, was apparently wrong.  oh well.

we had never gotten around to making valentine's cards for daddy so we were decorating hearts when he surprised us by coming home early!  matt and i exchanged cards (and i.o.u.s since we don't buy each other gifts) and instead of going out for dinner (honestly, i wasn't feeling up for it), matt went out to pick up pizza while i made a salad.  after dinner we watched our newest dvd addition - lady and the tramp.  it was a perfect way to spend the evening and the kids really enjoyed snuggling up under the blankets on the couch with us.

we hope that you had a love filled day too!  love.
