An Early Valentines Day

"I've fallen in love many times, always with you." - Unknown
Happy Early Valentines Day!
Seeing as I'll be out of town for Valentines Day and didn't want to miss out on the tradition, I decided to celebrate it a little early.

Our celebration consisted of lots and lots of hearts, none of them too fancy.  I used only things I had on hand but the kids were impressed.  (note to self:  how little we have to do to please them!)  They were out for a bike ride with Joey and I hustled my little bustle to get things cooked and set up while they were away.  When they came back and saw candles on the table they made me feel like the mother of the year:)  (even though the candles were orange!)

We had Macaroni and Cheese baked in a heart dish:
Green salad with heart shaped cheese and strawberries, heart shaped Red Velvet Cake (my Mom's tradition) and paper hearts and roses sprinkled all over the table.

As you can see I put NO effort into my photography...lame!!

The heart shaped papers we used to write love notes to each other.  My favorite one:

To Georgie:
Even though you bug me, I love you
Isaac

It's begun.  I used to pride myself as a mother for having children that loved each other so much.  Just in the last two weeks that has totally gone to pot.  Isaac has decided that Georgie drives him crazy...suggestions on curing this oncoming habit?
