Valentine's Week, Day One

This week I have decided to go ALL OUT in honor of Valentine's Day. Now, normally I just roll my eyes and call it another "Hallmark Holiday", but this year I want to have fun with it. Yesterday we started our celebration.
First, I cut out the covers I bought for Brennan's V.Day suckers. He is doing this instead of cards. I printed out one sheet, had him write his name on it, then took it to Office Max to get copies. It was a ton easier then forcing him to write his name 23 times!
I got the print-out here. There are six different designs to choose from and they come with a digital card, too. One print out is a cover for conversation heart boxes, which I thought was very cute. If you do buy this, know that I used Jolly Rancher suckers for their square shape and I taped it on each side and on the bottom.
Then, after dinner, our family each thought of one reason we love another family member. I wrote them on small hearts and we taped them onto the wall (using painters tape, so it should be easy to remove). We will do this every night until each of us has said one thing we love/are thankful for about each family member. We even included Ethan, but we all pitched in to help him.
Today I think we will "decorate" the house a little, which will mean letting the boys cut out hearts and tape them wherever they want. Brennan is home sick so maybe this will keep him occupied for a while. I do have some red and white crepe paper, so if I am feeling really cheesy, I must just go all out.

Oh, and Bart, if you are reading this, I know I usually say don't buy flowers because they are a waste of money, but I drove past Piccolos Florist ( 8317 Maple Street, Omaha, NE 68134 (402)397-6000) today and saw they have a dozen roses for $19.95. I am sure they have no vase, but that is no problem, I've got vases...I don't want more then $20 worth of flowers...that would be a waste, but some roses sure would help in the Valentine's Week celebrations...hint, hint, hint.
