This Valentines didn't exactly go as planned, but it will likely be one that we don't forget :)
Husband texts me at about 4:30, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, BABY...Boss wants to finish a job, it will be at least 7:00 before I get home...
That was about the same time that I had put my mini, heart shaped meatloaves into the oven, along with the cheesy potatoes...
I gave the kiddos a snack & turned the oven to a lower temp, hoping the children could hold out till daddy got home...
About 6:00, dinner was ready & there was no more waiting for the children. They were HUNGRY!
I flipped the mini meatloaves out of their silicone heart molds, to find they looked nothing like hearts & more like turds.(tasty turds non the less)...
I had wrapped up a chocolate for each of the children & placed them on their plates... When River opened his, he said,"Mama, its too cute to eat!" ...It was gone within the next half hour :)
Just as we were finishing up, husband walks through the door with an arm full of wildflowers & chocolates...
I warmed up his dinner & then it was time for him to open his gift from me :)
The complete series of The 3 Stooges.
I'm pretty sure I nailed it...
Lesson learned...tradition will change a little, starting next year.
Mama is going to enjoy the day as well & take-out will be ordered. No more heart shaped turd loaves, or heart shaped anything-except maybe cookies!
