This morning we left the house a little early in order to stop by the donut shop on the way to Isaac's school. The kids loved the donut shop. What kid wouldn't? Chocolate milk, pink donuts with sprinkles, and donut holes. That's what love is all about, right?
In keeping with our Valentine's Day traditions, we got the kids some books about love. And here is where I will add that it's a little bit of a chore finding books that are about love and not about Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day. But I managed. Here's this year's picks:
For my Annie-cakes.
For Isaac.
For Orry. And of course, it's a little bit about Valentine's Day, but it was just too cute to pass up!
Otherwise, it was quite the boring day. Since I got my one and only wisdom tooth extracted (sounds so much better than yanked out) yesterday, I've been taking the prescribed pain medication today. I've been a bit loopy and I've only wanted to sit on the couch and watch my kids play. All day. I did manage to stay awake and not just sleep all day. That's what love is all about, right?
I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day, filled with love and laughter. Maybe a hug and a kiss, too. Now I'll leave you with a great quote from Helen Keller:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."
(Psst! Down here. If you would like, leave your favorite quote about love in the comments. I'll pick the one I like the most (or maybe one at random) and send that commenter something lovely.)
