Valentines Day

Heart day was wonderful this year! I kicked off the morning by going over to my sweet friend Katie's house to scoop up some of her wet laundry to take home and wash for her. Her basement flooded the night before and I wanted to get over there and do something to help her out. I picked up some heart shaped pizza's from Papa Murphy's on my way over to stick in her fridge too so she wouldn't have to worry about dinner.

After running home and getting the first load in the washer, the babies and I met up with Nate for a delicious lunch at Stockman's. So delish. I'd never been. It felt like everyone was starring at us and our noisy babes but I didn't care. This is the stage in life that we're in.....and there's nothing we can do but make the best of it and just laugh at ourselves.

After lunch I ran home and put the babies down for a nap. I threw some chocolate dipped strawberries on a plate and headed over to my sweet neighbor's house. She is currently in the trenches of chemotherapy and I just wanted to bring a little love her direction on Valentines Day. We chatted and laughed for a good 30 minutes or so.

A little while later the boys came home from school and showed me all of their valentine treats.

Nate got home soon after that bearing gifts for the girls in his life. Pretty sure this was the first time he bought roses from an actual flower store. He sure paid and arm and a leg for them but they really are beautiful.

The kids had made us some homemade valentines too which is always so sweet and funny.

That evening we went to the local high school basketball game. It was really fun. I honestly haven't been to a high school game since I was in high school. Crazy how long ago that was.

A wonderful day....one of the best Valentine's Days I can recall.

O yeah, and our little bubsie.....he is doing well. Bouncing right back to himself. We're so grateful.
