Happy Valentine's Day! This morning we were surprised bright and early (like 5 am!) with the kids being up and ready for the day. We all got dressed and ready, then it was time to see the Valentine's Day surprises. The kids were surprised by their little surprises of new art supplies (Asher got a Spiderman coloring book! Yeah, no more coloring princesses for him!), playing cards and army man. Daddy got, what else, but a Game stop gift card and his favorite M&Ms. The kids each made Daddy a Valentine and then a special Valentine surprise for him to take to work. I even got surprised with Almond M&Ms and some fresh flowers (I am not a big fan of flowers. I would rather have something that does not die). Daddy is also buying the shutters for the windows this week...whenever we get all of the bids in. We have expanded which windows to have covered with some new construction coming in right northwest of us (and I mean they are RIGHT THERE! It will totally change our view from having one to having one of a side of a house. Grrrr). We also think we are not going to do shutters in the eat in kitchen since it is a sunroom like space. I think it would close in the space too much to have shutters. We are not sure what we are doing there yet...but we need something urgently there, too. We will see. The decisions should be made this week. I can hardly wait for that belated Valentine (or early birthday, early Mother's Day, and early Anniversary presents) to arrive!
After opening our Valentines, we decided to venture off to northwest Omaha to SVDP for Mass. We got to see some friends, which was nice for homesick Chris and I. However, the kiddos were not good. We need some major behavior modification during mass (or any public outing for that matter). I think we learned today NOT to bring anything to church, especially crayons.
Chris also finished up the painting in Asher's room. One room down - I will not even mention how many more to go. We had problems finding a shade of gray we liked. The first coat (one coat primer, one coat paint) looked blue. The color on the wall now should work....<sigh> After applying 4 coats of paint, Chris is beginning to think I am trying to kill him. When I asked him, " Will you be my Valentine?" He laughed and said, "Maybe next year." Maybe next year when he does not have to paint, perhaps. Last year I pointed out the differences in our Valentine's Day cards. Let's just say the differences continued this year, but Chris' card is too inappropriate to post on this blog.
After enjoying a heart shaped lunch, we hope to enjoy a heart shaped dinner before calling an end to Valentine's Day 2010. Happy Valentine's Day with Love for the Austin 5.
