Our Valentine's Day

I honestly kind of feel like a great big valentine's day failure. I made homemade cinnamon roll biscuits last night and kept them in the refrigerator overnight so I could pull them out and bake them this morning for a special breakfast. I don't know what I did wrong, or if they shouldn't have sat in the fridge overnight, but seriously, we couldn't even eat them! The biscuit part tasted like there was waaayyy too much baking soda in it. I think it was the first time I'd ever made something sooo bad it had to be thrown out. We just had cheese eggs, toast, and fruit for breakfast.

Besides a special breakfast (and the homemade cards the kids made Jacob), I didn't have anything else special planned all day. I didn't even get Jacob a card! Ahh, I feel so bad! He taught all day and then conducted two orchestra rehearsals tonight, so we are going out on Thursday night for a date. I'm hoping I can still snag a card tomorrow.

Every year I make yummy treats for our family. This year, I guess I just lacked motivation or something because I didn't plan to make anything. We have these silicone heart molds that Lily has been wanting to make something in, so this morning I wracked my brain, pulled ingredients out of the cabinets and whipped up some little candies. They were simple, but obviously they made a certain little girl super happy!

I have the best little laundry helpers ever! They will push the baskets from the bedrooms to the washer for me and then Lily will get the chair and help me load the washer. Levi likes to put the wet clothes into the dryer and then slam the door.

Today he just sat on the nearly empty bag of dog food and watched Lily do all the work. ha.

Lily picked out her clothes today. Of course she had to wear pink and hearts!

"Mom, can't I have a bite of that chocolate?"

Oh, just a little memory from the past - Jacob and I went on our first "official" date 4 years ago today! We had a quick supper at Atlanta Bread Co. and then went to a 3 hour long rehearsal. It's crazy all that has happened since that first date!
