Valentine's Day
March 25 2009 09:26 AM
I might have a good excuse for waiting more than a month to blog about Valentine’s Day, but I don’t want to think that hard right now.
I loved that Valentine’s Day was on a Saturday. Matt got up and helped me make a special breakfast for the kids and we gave them little presents in celebration of the day. Collin got a “tiny animal”; Annie got a pink My Little Pony, and Mikey got a Fisher Price Little People set.
The night before, we got babysitter, and Matt and I went to Happy Sumo. I don’t remember which sushi roll I got, but I do remember that it was good, and I’ve been craving more ever since. Since there was a 45 minute wait for our table, we walked around The Shops at the Riverwoods for a bit, and we went into one of my favorite stores, Williams Sonoma! I love this store, I just can’t afford it. We did find some really cute cast-iron pancake molds in the shape of an elephant, monkey and lion. They really make darling pancakes, and we used them for our kid’s Valentine’s Day Breakfast.
After breakfast, we all kind of did our own thing. But later, we went to our neighbor’s house to make sugar cookies. That was the best. The kids cut out heart shapes from the dough, and after they were cooled, they frosted and decorated to their hearts content. There were candy decorations in bowls all over the table. It was a child’s candy paradise!
After we got home, Annie was hungry and wanted some “soup” (it’s what she calls Ramen Noodles, and only Ramen Noodles.) Matt decided to have some as well, and I just couldn’t resist getting out my camera!
