chalkboard valentine's

just like this post, valentine's day was rather anti-climactic. emmie went to a skating party at school with another family. jack had basketball practice. i planned the games for the kids parties at school, but i am losing my edge. they were just okay. it was better than doing math though, right?

i made a dinner that sounded good on the menu:

gouda stuffed chicken

asparagus

cheesy potatoes

salad

chocolate covered strawberries

but it tasted pretty mediocre. except the chocolate covered strawberries. they are always a hit.

then i fell asleep at 9pm while putting jack to bed. with my clothes on and contacts in, no less. low on the romance chart, but high on the real life chart. i didn't have a lot of energy for gifts and cards, so my valentine's were on our chalkboard placemats this year...

someone made one for mommy too...

the valentine's are long gone now just like valentine's day, but love can't be erased...
