What’s Your Valentines Story?
I will start.
Aleece and I were woken up early, 3:30am CST, by a coughing little baby. Kalven then went on to take for the next half hour. I went to work and it was a pretty normal day. I was a bit tired because I went to the Linking Park concert the night before, but I knew that would happen. Aleece did not get to have any rest time as Kalven would nap and Leif wanted to play, then Leif napped and Kalven wanted to play. Oh, and the kids still have their cods, runny noses and general ickyness. I got home from work and was trying to get dinner ready when I hear Aleece cal to me from downstairs. Kalven had just thrown up on her. Aleece mostly cleaned up and I helped a little. Then we fed Kalven and it was out turn to eat. I was getting Leif in his chair when Leif starting having a coughing fit, you know the real gut wrenching ones. Well Leif managed to throw up on me. Now both kids are not nauseous, they just cough a bit and sometimes cough a lot so they don’t throw up much but it’s enough to make for a bit of clean up. Well since I had to change and Aleece took care of Kalven I took Leif upstairs and gave him a bath before dinner. So our night to have a dinner all together ended up with everyone changing cloths at least once and all of us eating separately. I still would not trade it for anything. It was a night to remember.
So what is your fun Valentines story? Go ahead and share your night by posting it in the comments. Don’t worry if it does not show up right away, I have to approve comments from first time posters to make sure this stays a family fun blog. hehe. I can’t wait to hear what you all did.
I gave my wife the gift of free time. I forced her upstairs with a fully charged laptop and the tv remote and gave her a the night to herself while the kids and I spent the evening filled with heart shaped hashbrowns, rice cereal and The Lion King.

It was Valentine’s day? Really though we were both exhausted. H did taxes and I played WoW for a bit and then we went to bed early. We went out to dinner on Saturday as a belated Valentine’s.
