Valentine Plans <3

[jewel441]

Anyone have any fun plans today or any Valentine's traditions?

[jewel441]

That's weird, I tried to make a little heart in the top with the carrot and 3 but now it looks weird....

Anyway... H and I don't do gifts for this, sometimes he gets me flowers, we also don't do restaurants bc I don't like the weird "special" menus places tend to do. If I am going to go out for a fancy meal then I want the regular menu.

So instead we go to Whole Foods or some other fancy market with like no budget and get really fancy stuff to cook for dinner, like the dry aged beef of fresh truffles or lobsters or w/e we want. Then I make a fancy dinner that we eat at home.

I made stuff yesterday to make crepes for breakfast (which is really for me not H, he is more of an eggs and bacon kinda guy), and also made mini cheesecakes (H's fav) for dessert. We are planning on going to whole foods later to see what we want for tonight!

Ended up being coincidental but we are getting a king size bedroom set tonight!! DH is picking it up when he gets off work. We've been sleeping in a full size bed since we got married 6 years ago...

We also have plans to go to a concert Friday and decided we'd make that our Valentine's Day celebration. Hopefully baby stays cooking until then so we can enjoy it.

DH totally surprised me last night! My nanny / now good friend invited me out on a play date. After an hour, she told me I was getting sent home, she and DH arranged for her to keep DS for us to have a date. So I drove home, to a delicious dinner and dessert. It was pretty shocking since DH doesn't normally cook, and isn't usually so romantic. It was awesome.
This morning is my "sprinkle", going out for brunch with a few girl friends. Looking forward to it big time!

[rachelilly23]

Nada. We might go downtown to this yummy sweetery later, but I'm not sure. It'll be super crowded anytime we choose to go today.

I made the boys pancakes this morning while H slept until 8. An hour later, he was asleep on the couch, and still is. He was up until 4am playing video games. Annoying.

I'm letting it go though since I'm going to a consignment sale pre-shop this afternoon since I'm a consignor. It opens to the public tomorrow so I gotta get in there early. So he'll be home with the boys while I shop.

We're making freezer meals together tonight after DS goes to bed. Super romantic!

[zombiesquad]

We exchanged cards and H just ran to Panera to pick up some breakfast. Then I think we might run some errands to finish the baby's room. Finally washed my new sleep bras and nursing camis so maybe I'll make some headway packing a bag. That's pretty much the extent of our day.

He insists something will be happening tonight so I've got to mentally prepare myself for that.

DH had a stomach virus yesterday so we are just hanging out at home and I'm doing mountains of laundry. Good times.

[sdchick]

H and I already exchanged gifts. He got me a 2 hour massage!! I got him a video game he begged for. We talked about making dinner together tonight.

[nexttonormal]

I'm not really into the whole romance thing right now for some reason... I assume it's most likely due to being super pregnant/cranky/hormonal/tired.
My kids are at my parents house for a few hours and honestly, that's the best present I can imagine.
MH worked late last night at his second job, so he's exhausted, too. We will probably just hang out and watch a movie/TV while we have some peace and quiet.
Oh and there will be chocolate involved at some point. There is always chocolate.

We are in nesting mode today- H is building the crib currently while I do thank you cards (this is my form of a "break" from organizing all of the things). We usually do Mexican for dinner so we will do that later today. We haven't been since I was still in first tri and I had to run out of the restaurant to avoid throwing up at the table.

[adorebel]

We aren't doing anything today. Next Sunday we have brunch plans and tickets to the ballet as a kind of belated V-Day!

[DanaScullyX]

We'll be celebrating baby's first Valentine's Day! Dad ran out and bought a tiny little valentine's outfit and even though we're still in the hospital, we'll ask to put her in it for just a few pics.

[songbirdsinging55]

We are having a nice steak dinner and renting movies. DH and I usually do something small for gifts, handmade cards and a nice dinner. We got Isaac a love themed book and a stuffed monkey. He is obsessed with monkeys lately and has no monkey toys. We also got stuff for shirley temples. Lol. I have alot of leftover cupcakes from my sprinkle yesterday so there is dessert. I got him a Deadpool sweatshirt and made him this card.He got me a pretty crystal candle holder.

A king size bed will be life changing!!!

No plans, took kids to toysrus to use gift cards, built cube storage, and h got me the diaper bag I wanted. Jujube bff. Now taking a break before more nesting. And trying to menu plan for this week things I can make in big batches so I can freeze some and serve some.

Walking Dead!!!

[rosetyler72]

We went to see Star Wars in the theater with a group of friends (our 2nd time) and then tonight we're going to a new Japanese restaurant in town. We didn't do gifts this year, but H wrote me the sappiest love note this morning about how he can't wait to see me as a mother, he is looking forward to starting parenthood with me, and how he still thinks I'm super sexy even when I'm hugely pregnant. I was drowning in tears reading it. Best present ever.

[daydreamsam]

We worked on the nursery today, I was so frustrated because I really wanted the Cheshire cat perched on the fairytale sign we are painting but don't have the artistic ability to pull it off. But DH did! Best Valentine's gift eva! Now, we are gonna eat homemade taquitos and get ready for TWD!

[isolemnlyswear]

We went and saw Deadpool yesterday. (So funny and inappropriate today we did nothing. Currently we are eating ice cream

[rachelilly23]

H made dinner and then we went to the sweetery downtown. We got a piece of red velvet cake and a piece of hummingbird cake that were both the size of my head. The boys conked right out when we got home and I'm watching The Bachelor special while H is upstairs doing who knows what.

Yes, it's called Bachelor 20 or something with Jade and Tanner's wedding.

[ltlbandito]

We had a couples massage earlier today. It was amazing! The place we went to always offers free mimosas (or beer) while you wait.

Oh THAT'S who's getting married. Of course. I could not figure it out. I knew it must be from Bachelor in Paradise, but I forgot they actually lasted haha.
