Happy Valentine's Day 2008

We had a nice Valentine's Day here. Daddy Piper didn't have work so he was home to celebrate with us all day.

The kids and I woke Daddy up with cards and See's candy. He seemed to enjoy the interruption. Daddy Piper and S went to the grocery store and The Depot. So after I dropped L at school, I came home to an empty house. This has happened 2 times in 2 years. I LOVE being home alone!!! I got some dishes done and some computer time in and then back to school to participate in L's party.5 little 4 year olds exchanging Valentine's is just too cute. They are so excited about everything at this age and it takes so little to make them happy. I sure wish this is something we could bottle and save for the years to come. Then L and I hit Sonic on our way home. We had a nice lunch together then off to nap. I fell asleep within seconds of hitting my pillow and found out 2 hours later that the kids did not. Thank goodness Daddy Piper was here to hear their cries. I woke up at 4:00 and felt pretty rested. I am so tired these days. My only request for Valentine's was that Daddy Piper cook dinner, so he grilled steak and shrimp. It was super yummy and then he cleaned the kitchen to boot!

We ended the day snuggling on the couch and talking about past Valentine's Days (a scavenger hunt, a marriage proposal and a bed & breakfast being among the best ones) and pondering future Valentine's.
