Yesterday was my Valentine’s Day decorating day. What fun I had! I was like a little kid! I gathered anything remotely romantic, red, or pink and made focal points on the dining room table and any other area that could use it. I made tissue paper window clings (even though Scott thinks they are mushy gushy-I like ‘em!) My very favorite decoration, though, is our Cupid Tree! I had the tree from my craft show display…and so I hung ribbons, all my costume jewelry and Corynn’s play jewely on it for garlands, and I cut the thumbnail prints off that Victorian calendar and made ornaments. I also plucked some fake flowers here and there…I think it turned out great! I really missed the pretty lights of the Christmas tree…and now I have them again! (I wonder what John Owen will think?!?!?!)
Anyway-one fun thing done-now for a boring day of cleaning, laundry, dishes, and diapers….. Ho hum.

john owen does not like valentine's day.
he does not like it with a cake.
he does not like it by a lake.
he does not like the v-day mess
and so avoids all v-day stress
(John Owen DOES like Christmas trees, though, even surprising me with one on Christmas Eve the Christmas Eve before last, which is something I never expected! Remember, our second year of marriage I had to string lights and popcorn and marker in ornaments on a green cardboard tree that had been part of a Seven-Up display at Manley's Mini Mart. Now that's progress!)
oh, and i still celebrate Valentine's Day, kind of.
Last year I made him a cookie-sheet sized cookie cowboy, holsters and all. how romantic.
