Stretching the Valentine

I could have called this post "vegging for Valentines." We had the most restful weekend! Of course I ended up kind of paying for all that laying around and being lazy yesterday. Saturday we slept late, ate a big breakfast, and barely got around in time to go to my great uncle's 90th birthday party. The party was kind of a cool thing. All the kids went off to do their own thing and then hubby and I went driving around to 4 different stores to find crab legs so he could cook and we could enjoy the night at home alone. He ended up buying 5 lbs for the two of us and so we were completely stuffed! Crab and asaparagus is all we ate, but it was sooooooo good!

Sunday we went to 2 church services in the morning, then to dinner after the 2nd service with some friends, then to another get together my extended family had. Of course all that fun and visiting wore us out so we spent the evening laying around in front of the t.v.

Monday the kids did not have school and hubby got the day off, but I had to work. I woke in the morning thinking of the millions of things I had not done over the weekend which suddenly seemed rather urgent to get done in one day. After working til 3, I ran a bunch of errands and was busy all evening, but most things got done.

For Valentine's Day I got 2 pairs of beautiful earrings and a bracelet. The earrings are a little small so I made an impulsive decision to get a second piercing in each ear so I could wear those little earrings with other earrings I have. Since the subject was in our minds we asked daughter if she wanted her ears peirced and she said she did! So one of the things we did yesterday after work was to go and get ears pierced. LJ was good about it and went first, but she was a little whimpy afterwords. She almost threw up about 10 minutes after she was done. Now she says it hurts a little, but she is so proud and couldn't wait to go to school and show off her new earrings. Thus, I feel we stretched Valentine's Day out over about 3 days! Or shall I just count today too? :)
