Unusual Valentines Weekend

Well, I am sure I won't get online tomorrow so I am taking advantage of a few moments this morning.
Last year, tomorrow (2/13/09) I found out I was pregnant. C and I went to Columbia so he could take his EMT test and we had fun just trying to wrap our minds around the fact that we were finally having a baby. It took us awhile. I didn't realize then that the quiet evening dining and back at the hotel snuggling (I was tired), that we had that day was out last Valentines day just the two of us. Yes we may ship the kids off for a Valentines day in the future but we will have a kid to come home to or pick up for a long time and when they all move out (yes, I am planning on having more already) we will still not be "just the two of us" and I love that!
Anyway, with a 4 month old that is still nursing and needs quite a bit of attention we decided to not try to go to the Church Marriage retreat, rather we are watching my brother's three kids overnight and a good friends two little girls for a couple hours.
The plan for them is a afternoon of decorating sugar cookies, possibly playing out in the snow, and possibly making valentines. Tomorrow we will be doing "scavenger hunts" for the valentines they make for each other and a nice-ish breakfast and an afternoon of wii, playing outside (C will be here so he can help with it then), and eagerly looking for Mom and Dad to come home.
Not a typical Valentines weekend but we will have our family Valentines Sunday evening. We will be doing steak, Oreos, a side dish and a movie. Camping out on the living room floor till bed time. Pretty sure we will enjoy our evening even if we aren't out at a hotel or a restaurant. Especially if I get some spray whip cream. :)
Fun times... busy times.
