I went with my hubby on a quick business trip this week and arrived home on the afternoon of February 13, the day before...Valentine's Day (insert screaming here). You see, I hadn't done or bought anything for the girls. Not one. single. thing!
For this Valentine's Day, I'd definitely need to...
K.I.S.S. - Keep It Super Simple
In the morning the girls woke up to find a surprise on their bedroom door...

| a heart- shaped wreath ($5 from a nearby pharmacy) |
Next, the girls and I found Valentine's surprises left by Daddy...
 |
| For the girls- boxes of candy and light-up cups. For me- a new coffee mug and a teddy bear . He filled all 3 cups with Tootsie Pops. Then, it was time for breakfast. I'd already been on Facebook that morning and had seen several pictures of heart-shaped pancakes, strawberries sliced in heart-shapes, served with red jam. Not this momma. Not this year. Instead, we hit the drive-thru for... |

| Heart-shaped chicken biscuits from Chick-fil-a! |
Next, we headed to our local Children's Museum for the monthly Homeschool Classes, where the girls spent two hours making yummy, sweet snacks. Snacks that I didn't have to plan and shop for. Snacks that could be made without messing up my kitchen- lol!
That afternoon, "Sissy" was in a creative mood and wanted to do something special for her daddy. So, she cut out and decorated several hearts. Then, she taped them onto the sliding glass doors...

| in the shape of a heart! Finally, it was time for dinner. Hubby picked up dinner for us and "Bub", but I decided to make something for the girls. We love the "make-your-own pizza" kits, so I threw those together but added a little twist and cut the pre-made crusts into heart shapes. Voila! Valentine's Day Dinner! Even though our Valentine's Day was drive-thru, store-bought, and pre-made... the girls had a fun day filled with great memories. From now on I need to remember to K.I.S.S. more often! |
