For Valentine’s Day Gavin got me a new crockpot, before any of you give him grief about this, I ASKED for a new crockpot for Valentine’s Day (he wanted suggestions). You may, however, give him grief that I got to wrap it myself: “could you please sweetie? You’re better at such things.”
I don’t mind, I got a beautifully wrapped gift which Oliver got to open.
A friend of ours came over and we baked cookies lemon thumbprint cookies with jam. She brought a balloon for the boys, and Oliver spent much of the afternoon running around hollering “ba-oon!” Patrick was also enthralled by the shiny thing that floated high above his head.
We are enjoying a quiet evening in and “that’s not bread pudding!!!” chocolate strawberries, we are saving our night out for later when things aren’t so busy.
You’re a household with three boys, so Valentine’s Day *should* be about you getting showered with love. Even if you *do* have to wrap your own crock pot. That sounds like a great gift! I’m going to request one for my birthday (coming up at the end of March). Thanks for the advice! I’m going to go large.
