Valentine's Day.

Brett is out of town today.

It's the first Valentine's Day we have not spent together.

We never do anything big for the day but I do miss having him here with me to celebrate.

At least I get to spend the day with my littlest Valentines. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

How have you enjoyed your day?

Here and There.

I've got a lot of random stuff on my mind, here goes....

I'm sick, still sick. It's been a month. I finally went to the doctor on Friday and got some antibiotics. 

I hope they kick in soon.

I'm just tired of being sick.

Now my little one is sick. 

He woke up this morning with a gooey green eye, yuck.

I had no idea that you could even have stuff like that coming out of your eye.

It's so sad.

So he's now on antibiotics too.

I feel like I shouldn't even complain for one second about us being sick since my friend's 4 week old baby girl is in hospital.

She's been diagnosed with RSV but they still need to do some tests to rule out everything.

If she doesn't start eating soon they'll have to give her a feeding tube, which most likely will increase her stay in the PICU.

Please pray for her. Her name is Phoebe.

We started the remodel of our mater bathroom.

So far I'm doing pretty good with surviving the mess and it's not driving me crazy.

But it's only been a week.

I'll share pictures soon.

I bought some new throw pillows for the couch.

I love them.

It doesn't take much to make me happy.

I went to our local flea market this weekend and found this beauty.

I love it. The color, the rust, it's perfect.

My great grandma had one in her kitchen and I've been looking for the right one.

Plus it will be perfect for Ethan when he helps me cook.

I've never really decorated much for Valentine's Day but we have a few things up this year.

Nothing fancy, just a few small things.

I plan on making some fun decorations with Ethan and Jacob.

Do you have any good Valentine craft ideas for us?

I'll leave you with one of my most favorite songs of all time.

Please tell me you love Fleetwood Mac too.

Our Valentine's Day.

When I woke up in the morning I was grumpy.

Jacob had slept horribly and at 6am I had already declared Valentine's Day as ruined. 

I was being a grouch.

By 8am I decided I needed to change my attitude.

Sweet stuff always makes me feel better so when Ethan woke up we made these. 

I realized that I had never made blueberry pancakes before. It will definitely be happening more often. 

We then headed over to my sister's house for a Valentine's party with all the kids. 

 Trying to get a picture with all five kids is pretty much impossible right now.

I love having nieces because I get to buy them all the cute girlie stuff, especially at Valentine's day, that I don't get to buy for my boys.

My sister made edible play dough and finger paint which was obviously a hit.

 

Jacob slept most of the party but he sure did look cute in this Valentine's Day get-up. 

When we got home from my sister's we had no power. 

That meant I couldn't open the fridge so I wasn't able to make the dinner I had planned for the night.

So Brett had to get take-out...Bummer. 

After dinner the boys opened their gifts from me, we had ice cream sundaes, then watched a movie. I also tried to get a picture of the boys together. It was not happening.

Brett and I never really do much for one another on Valentine's Day but one thing is for sure, he knows the way to my heart is not through flowers, but through sweets. 

A nice way to end the evening.

It was a great first Valentine's Day with my all my boys.
