Valentine's Day was a bit of a mixed bag for us this year. It fell on a Tuesday and, by then, the boys had been sick with strep since the Thursday before. First Henry caught it, and then Jack woke up sick on Saturday. So by Tuesday Henry was well but Jack still had to stay home from school because he had a fever.
Nevertheless, we forged on with our fun V-day traditions. The boys woke up to their annual scavenger hunt, with hand drawn clues provided by Daddy. At the end of their hunt they found new stuffed animals, chocolates and headlamp flashlights.
Then it was off to school for Henry and to the couch for Jack. That evening we had our candlelight dinner with our fancy dishes. We stuck to our normal menu of spaghetti, chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate cake for dessert.
And now, everyone is healthy (almost) and full of love, and chocolate.
