Most Valentine's Days seem to be as busy as other days. Kevin and I are usually working, Malori is at school and then games, or practices after school which leaves very little time to celebrate a special romantic day. So I usually fix a special meal for supper, set the table with white and red stuff, candle, flowers, china, but this year since it was on a Saturday and Kevin didn't have to work we (Kevin and I) though we should go out to a nice restaurant. All week we had several ballgames and even at pizza 3 times. In small town after 9 not much else are open. So Friday comes around we both have the day off and call around to see if any place is doing anything special, dinners, music. We did find a few options. Malori ask that morning what I was fixing for dinner Saturday. I said dad and I are going to go out. "What, you always fix a fancy meal and give me presents. You can not do that!" (quote from Mal) Kevin and I looked at each other and said we didn't know Valentine's Day was for the kids? So Saturday morning Kevin and I decide (since we didn't get other plans made and we were tired of running around and being gone all week) we would just fix dinner and spend the evening at home. I had to work but would be done at 3. Kevin and Malori went to the grocery store and got the food, came home and set the table and started fixing the dinner. When I came home I help finish dinner we exchange presents and ate. Bruschetta, salad, stuffed shells, and brownies! We get done and Malori declares she's off to the girls sectionals she has to cheer for. So Kevin and I enjoyed a fire in the fireplace and just being together. We did enjoy our day with and without Malori.
After note: It was really nice for them to fix dinner but you should have seen the mess. They used every pan and dish they could find. Sunday it took me quite awhile to clean up. Thank goodness Valentine's Day only comes around once a year.
