We (meaning, Dave and I) don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I realize that sounds a bit harsh. It's not that I don't like flowers, chocolate, gifts, etc... I'm just not a fan of spending triple the price for something I could get at normal price the very next day.
Of course, with the kids, we go bonkers. We made homemade valentines a few weeks ago for their school friends. Last Friday, we had friends over to decorate cookies.

| I think Hudson and Sarah are making eyes at each other! (side note: Hudson informed us the other day that he's engaged to Sarah!) |
 |
| Gracie is probably one of the most "attention to detail" crafter kids I've ever met (she comes by it honestly though) |
 |
| I love how this picture shows Elizabeth stealing candies from her sister's cookie when she's not looking! |
 |
| notice the icing on Hudson's mouth? Ya, he didn't save ANY of his decorated cookies. |
 |
| my 2 very unimpressive, but oh-so-delicious cookies |
Today the kids had Valentine parties at school, and it's been like Halloween. Our candy box has been substantially re-stocked!
I can't remember the last time we actually went out on a date for Valentine's day. I'm not complaining. I don't like the huge crowds anyway...
One thing I do love?
A night out with my man to see my Mavs:
 |
| We went to the game last night, and it was awesome (the Mavs won...of course). I was going to take a picture of us, but my phone died half way through the game. |
So really, who needs a Hallmark holiday to show love? Not this low-mainenance girl. (haha)

And let's have a shout out to Mom for making that outing possible :-)
I had no idea you felt this way about the big love day! I think we can be true friends now. :) We are the same way about the day. I do everything I do(which was not much this year)for the boys. In fact I will go today to find Kroger's overstocked selsction of flowers marked down to NOTHING!
Hahahaha!!!!! I'm laughing at the low-maintenance part :)
Hahaha. We haven't' gone out on V-day since we were dating! I feel the exact same way about waiting a few days to get "normal" priced dinner etc. :)
