February is a crazy month at our house, which means that Valentine's Day is often last on our list, but Mike always remembers and sends flowers on February 13th. I used to think flowers were a waste and a little cliche, but now I enjoy getting them every once in awhile. It means he is thinking about me and I love the color and life they add to our kitchen table for a week or so.
One thing I never do well is Valentine boxes. Lucky for my boys, Spencer does them really well, and Katie held on to their boxes from last year, so guess who had the most popular boxes this year? Yep, the Romney boys! For the first time ever, I can see why parents spend time on things like this...it was pretty fun to have them go to school so excited and come home feeling pretty awesome. Not fun enough to put a ton of effort into it, but certainly fun enough to borrow a cool box.
This little ladies' man had different plans for Valentine's Day. He wanted to make each of the girls he hangs out with feel special, so he took a little cluster of flowers and a handwritten note to the 6 girls he is closest to in our neighborhood. I thought it was super awesome and thoughtful and he felt great and excited about doing it. I heard from each of them how happy they felt on Valentine's Day. I hope he is always thoughtful and kind. One of the things I love about Jace is that he is friends with everyone...it doesn't matter what they look like, act like, dress like, or if they are cool...if he enjoys their company he is a great friend.
Another little boy had a special Valentine this year. Emmi is Pierce's favorite and he couldn't wait to take a little Valentine treat to her.
This year, Mike planned an awesome Valentine's Day. We had dinner at Valter's, which was fancy and yummy, then we headed downtown to a Salsa/Bachata lesson. It was so great to be out dancing together, and my man has moves! We loved every second of our night out on the town and were pretty pleased with our progress. Watch out the next time you see us on the dance floor!
