Valentine’s Day Love
February 14, 2011
This Valentine’s Day, we plan to celebrate by having dinner at home and having a family movie night. I rented Despicable Me and I hope the girls enjoy it. Jon always brings the girls an me home flowers and I will normally bake something for dessert. So in addition to the usual hugs and kisses, this is what we have planned to show the girls how much we love them.
In return, the girls show us their love in many ways too. This weekend, they decided that it painting the laundry room was a great idea. After grabbing a can of black spray paint (I left it in the kitchen after a recent project), they went to work on the washer, the walls, Emily’s coat and backpack, the floor, a pair of my flip flops, a step stool and my favorite boots. I forgot about the cabinet in the kitchen too. It was all over. I just kept finding more spots.
Emily wasn’t around when this was happening, so I’m guessing that’s why her stuff got hit and the other two spared their own stuff.
I hope one day our girls have children of their own that express their love in a similar manner.

Oh, boy, I can sympathize. I’m so sorry for the damage done, especially to your favorite boots, ouch! If there is a bright side, at least it was in the laundry room and not the living room with furniture and all. Yikes.

Wow. I cannot imagine your shock! Thanks for sharing, helps to know I’m not the only one with a child that shows her “love” in unique ways.

P.S. We recently watched “Despicable Me” and LOVED it, even the hubby! Hope you found it as enjoyable as we did!
