Valentine's Day sure is a hit with the little kids. For the old "kids," it's just another day! First, there were the little trinkets, candies, and Valentines--hand addressed by Robin--taken to Kindergarten for their party. Then there was the heart cake and Valentines that both Robin and Ryan took to day care for THEIR party. I tried to make the day a little special at home by having the dinner table set with white and red, with cards and a stuffed animal and heart-shaped box of candy for everyone. (Meg didn't get a stuffed animal!) I considered it a little ridiculous to have such a lavishly-set table in a room otherwise cluttered to the gills, but I doubt the children noticed. For dessert, there was the heart cake. I went out for a little bit and came home to find Robin still in the Valentine mood--way past bedtime--making things to take to Daddy's, etc. She always has liked holdidays.
This morning, since it was a day off for me, I told Meg I would take the children to day care so she could just go to work without the added responsibility. I was awakened sometime around 7:30 with someone tickling my back. I thought it was my bedmate, Robin...but it was Ryan. He had crawled in with us and was giving me shivers with his little hands being a "tickle bug". He is a snuggler, through and through! We got up, breakfasted, dressed, and delivered to day care. Thereafter, I started doing "stuff": haircut, shopping excursion to Wal-Mart, three loads of laundry, one load of dishes, and bill paying. I then picked the children up early from day care in order to take Ryan for a haircut (at Cookie Cutters in Avon--what a great place!), then out for dinner at Chick-fil-A where Meg met us. They are now on their way to Muncie with Meg, with Robin loaded with things for her friend Wednesday (Daddy's girlfriend's daughter). One day down. Can you tell I've done anything? Not a bit!!
Every time I get in my car, I hold my breath hoping it will start. So far, so good. God provides!
