dude, wrong bug!

so, just before the start of a lovely weekend of making valentine treats, eating way too much candy, and basking in the reasons why we love each other so much ...my family got bit by the bug. no, not the love bug...the sick bug. 24hr bug to be exact. yep, and it was nasty nasty nasty. it started on wednesday with sam, then leif and i (had it at the same time) shortly thereafter it attacked rhoane and jared. what-the-what cupid? wrong bug dude (or poison arrow or whatever...)! anyhow, the crew and i spent our saturday recovering (in our pj's watching movie marathons with our barf buckets still in place "just in case") my kinda relaxing right there -not!


lucky for my family, i am a awesome mom, and recovered just in time to save the day ;) no not really. well yeah, sorta i did. i was up saturday evening, flipping between PBR and the Winter Olympics (love the Olympics don't you?). as i watched, i busied myself cutting hearts and making homemade valentines for the kiddos. who wants to pass up valentines? not me! and i've always done something fun for the kids. i didn't want to let the day pass without showering my precious family with a little love.

heart attack, 3 dollar walmart animals and candy -can't go wrong!






















not a real rose ;)








and a yummy belgian waffle breakfast!




so, not your ideal valentines weekend ...but a good one nonetheless ;)

Not your ideal valentine's day?! Whatever - looks like you went all out to me. My poor kids just got heart-shaped pancakes and that was all. Your lucky kids got candy, roses, stuffed animals, AND breakfast. Way to go (sick) mama!

Yuckers, yuckers! I HATE family being sick and on a holiday is the WORST! You, of course in your fabulousness, saved the day. You really have the talent of being a fun mom!

What a fun valentines! Sorry you were all sick that is the worst when the momma gets sick too. Somehow you still feel responsible for taking care of everyone.I remember when you heart attacked my bedroom when we were like 16 or 17 its a fun memory for me. My dad still calls and sings to me every valentines day, do you remember when he would come to school and sing to me? I love Rhoanes hair in the picture with Jared.

I'm super impressed that you still did something. And you remembered to take pictures. Sorry everyone got sick, but I know how it feels. We seem to be passing everything around lately, good thing we got all the flu vaccinations for this season.

Happy Valentine's Day (even though I'm late).
