VALENTINE'S DAY

HAPPY 'LATE' VALENTINE'S DAY to all of you I missed yesterday! It happens to be one of my favorite days...

WHY? just because!! its SO important to tell all the people in your life how much you love them on this special day! I love to spend this day with my loving husband and my 3 wonderful kids! They truely are my life and I want them to know on Valentine's Day and everyday of the year for that matter how much I love them all!! As well as all my close friends - I love you all!!!! For those who think Valentine's Day isn't important... IT IS!!!!! to me!!!!

So what did I do for the day of LOVE... I got up early and got the kids off to school then Blade and I were off to pick up Jer in CR at the airport since he flew into CR rather than DBQ since there were lots of cancellations and the Boston airport was shut down yesterday... so needless to say my hubby went thru a lot to get home to me for Valentine's day!!! It really was SO nice to see him since I know he went throught A LOT to get home. So Jer I thank you again for making it possible.

So after the running from CR to DBQ, Jer went to do some work for awhile in DBQ and I went back home and got a few things done and got the small gifts I got for the kids for the VDAY, got them all a movie :) and their favorite candy. School got out, Jer took the kids to Sundown for a bit for their special treat too, Blade and I stayed at home and hung out in the attic.

Jer and I exchanged our little gifts, and I got the most beautiful roses!!! they look fake but are SO real!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Then we were off to a night out of town... did a few errands, stopped at Betty Janes for some treats then we off to our favorite place for a yummy meal. A real relaxing evening with my Jer is all I needed for this special day, that is just priceless to me!!

So um... today not much happened today, boys were all off to school today. Blade had his little Valentine's party at school today since school was cancelled on Tuesday and he got LOTS and LOTS of candy. I went to help Tammy at the store until it was time to go get the boys after school, she got a TON of new merchandise in and needed to get it tagged so she can get ready to "re ramp" for Spring! That gal gots LOTA talent!!!!! I am so proud of her!!! She just recently gave the Club 528 a HUGE make over. I can't wait to see it, we are going to go there tomorrow night to see it. I am sure its absolutely beautiful!!!!!

So tonight Mitchel had a basketball game. He got to play alot!!! was very aggressive tonight and when he shot the ball and made it he would just glow, as a parent that is just a wonderful feeling seeing your child happy :) Blade was having a 'sugar high' tonight from all his candy he got at school. We had a awesome supper tonight!!! Thanks to Jenn Supple Nadeau was so kind and brought us lasagana and a very yummy salad, it really means a lot to have a home cooked meal when you are "kitchen lis" so we were all 'oohing and awhing' over it!!! The pizza oven and microwave really limit our cooking abilities, ya know??? So Jenn thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

House update... we'll Dustin is working very hard on finishing the floors in this house, putting in new boards and correcting the messed up boards. He truely has a TON of talent!!!! and is remarkable at what he does!!!! The lockers are now all sanded, just waiting to be poly'd, and a lot more stripping has been done this week, things are progressing well!!! The theater... well it's still under "drywall stage" and the "sanding" stage... its taking flippin' forever!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!

Weekend Plans? Saturday Jer and I need to get the basement cleaned out as much as we can so Dustin can have more room to work, and we are clearing out anything we are not using on the main floor at the given time. So LOTS of work will be done on over our weekend in our basement. We need to see the basement closer to the finish line so I am doing whatever its gonna take this weekend!!!

I best close I have things to do yet tonite!! Have a super weekend!!!
