On Sunday I told the kids how excited I was that the next day was Valentine's day because they were going to give me so many hugs and kisses. They were all less than thrilled except Hannah of course! They spent a lot of time in their rooms making Darren and I cards and gifts. The gifts involved using glue guns which are Jack's new found tool to put things together.

Will was of course up first on V-day, waking me up early to present his card. He told me that I would have to wait until dad got home from work to open the rest of the gift. Hannah then woke up (i think Will woke her) and dug under her bed running to give me her card. She spelled everything on it and was so excited that I loved it. Jack laid in bed until he had to get up and was able to wait until dad got home to present his card and gift to both of us. Jack was so proud and spend a lot of time making it just right. He made a frame out of sticks and put his picture in the middle. He also made a nice card with a pocket for gum he was giving us. The cards and gifts were so special and they kids worked hard making them just perfect. Darren and I loved each of them. We now need to find places for our new frames!

Darren gave me a dozen red roses and a funny singing card and he also brought Hannah a dozen pink roses. She was so proud and loves it when dad brings her flowers. She feels so special. Good thing there are not 3 girls in the house or V-day would get expensive!! We had dinner in the dining room consisting of steak for Darren and corn dogs for the kids. We then dined on some cookies for dessert. It was a nice day.
