valentine's day all wrapped up

our day went something like this.

send the boys off to school in the morning.  andrew had his valentine's in his backpack.  not jordan, he's in middleschool you know.  bobby forgot the treats for the office.

sofia signed the bags for her teachers' treats.

i tried running the bags through my printer but they kept getting stuck.  and the bags that did print had black streaks on them.  so they got a punched out heart and baker's twine and we were done.  the bags are filled with chocolate covered rice krispi hearts.

she doesn't go to school on monday but we thought it would be fun to drop off her valentine cards.  the teachers said she should just stay.  which worked for me because i had errands to run.  and she enjoyed spending the morning making crafts and playing with her friends.

i went for a run.  a tough one today, but i needed to do it.  then to the grocery store for ingredients for dinner.  i loved the flower display outside of trader joe's.  you could get a dozen beautiful roses at tj's for $9.99 and they were gorgeous.  i loved this "girly valentine" bouquet.

pick up sofia from school.  home for a peanut butter and banana sandwich.

 went to school for the basketball game, completely forgetting about andrew's class party.  i'm sure he didn't miss me much, he's in 3rd grade you know.  close game today. they lost 21-23 but jordan played well.  so proud of him.

back home for homework and dinner.  i struggled a bit in coming up with something to make.  i decided to do shrimp with pasta and found this recipe on cooking light that sounded good (and spicy).  the kids had linguini with regular sauce.  added a caesar salad, garlic bread and wine for us, sparkling water for the kiddos.

dessert was cookies, rice krispi treats, and valentine donuts.

 i gave the kids a little box of chocolates and a love note.

a homemade card for b with a box of nerds.

that heart punch got a lot of use over the last few days.

phone calls with grandparents, moon journal, dishes and bath. some things don't take a holiday.
