Valentine's Day 2015

I started off the Valentine's Day morning with making heart shaped orange cinnamon rolls for the three boys. I also made them hot chocolate.

Then the boys watched some YouTube videos while I cleaned up the kitchen.

We then filled out two pages of our Questionnaires. We always laugh so much...especially at the boys answers. They can be so funny!

Then we watched some of the "Good Mythical Morning" videos. They are so funny!

I made clam chowder for lunch with puff pastry on top. It was so good, but it was so filling.

We played a lot of games together. It was so much fun. With as busy as Michael has been at work lately (and looking for jobs), we have not had a chance to play games together in a while. We did a lot of laughing.

Then the boys went to mow the grass. It was a beautiful day outside.

Lily sat by the front door watching Jar mow the grass out front. Yes, we have our Christmas tree up still. I am just not ready to take it down yet.

I had a coconut candle burning all day long. These candles are cool...every candle has a ring (as in jewelry) inside the candle. Also, the wax is not hot...and it can be used as a moisturizer. It is coconut oil, so it feels really good on the skin.

While I made dinner, the boys played some Wii golf. After dinner we had a bowling tournament. Jar won, but I was close behind him.

We had orange chicken over couscous for dinner and an arugula/orange fennel salad. It was good, but the dinner from the night before was our favorite (steak with a beef stroganoff sauce, potatoes, and creamed spinach).

We used our nice dishes and had non alcoholic sparking apple grape juice. I love that stuff.

We had the Blueberry Delight for dessert. The boys enjoyed it.

After dinner, we watched the movie "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". We loved it. It was so funny! We could not even begin to imagine that a day could go like this...ever.

We especially loved this movie because years ago Aunt Sherry bought the boys this book.

After that, Michael and I watched a romantic movie together. I read the book, so I pretty much knew the story-line. We enjoyed it.

It was a great Valentine's Day. I hope that the three boys enjoyed it too. We all wrote each other a Valentine as well.
