Loves...

It's Valentine's Day.

Yes, it is.

 Day of Love.

Turns out that I tell my husband and kids that I love them every day.

So, that's no different today.

My day was waking up at 5:30 so I could run before the husband 

had to leave for work at 6:30...

then spending all day at the school doing the class

Valentine party thing (with my 3 little non-school aged kids in tow).

AND

to make it a perfect Valentine's Day-

the husband gets to work ALL DAY and NIGHT.

Happy Valentine's Day to us all!

(sarcasm, anyone?)

Since we all love each other everyday, it's okay :).

I already know what I love- but do YOU know what I love?

Let me share some of them with you...

I loves:

• My husband- the Mark.
• My kids- the cutest kids ever.

There are tons more, I'm sure.

Is it sad that so many things I love are food?

I am not ashamed!

I think Mark gets to come home for a few hours

so I can make us dinner :).

Lobster Ravioli and Red Velvet cake... 

did I mention that I loves Costco?

Turns out Mark got to come home and stay home...
so we got to eat lots of food and hang out TOGETHER :).
