Valentines!

I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. Our celebrations actually started Thursday with the baking and decorating of cute Valentines Day cookies.

We didn't have a heart-shaped cookie cutter so we made one out of an old quart jar ring. Then we stayed up late decorating them. We were having too much fun, but we eventually ran out of frosting, and room on the cookie sheet. We still had a lot more cookies, so the next day Richard decided that he wanted to give them to his students. I had to make more frosting and frost them all myself (nothing fancy, just solid colors). It was a good reward for those students who didn't miss class to take off or the long weekend, plus they got to meet me and Ethan.

The students were very appreciative. We stayed on campus between his classes to have lunch, and then I took some of the fancy cookies to my sister. Of course, she had about five plates of the same kind of cookies that she had made on her kitchen counter, but it's the thought that counts right?

Today, Richard surprised me with another one of his strawberry and whipped cream waffle breakfasts. He let me sleep in this morning, while he took Ethan in his pajamas to the store. I had no idea they were even gone. Don't I have a great husband?

It was yummy! He also decided that breakfast wasn't enough, so he cooked all our meals today. Turkey sandwiches for lunch, (although Ethan decided he only wanted a hotdog, cheese, a sweet pickle, and some OJ for lunch. Appetizing eh?) and spaghetti dinner. What a guy!
