Kaily – lovely husband alert! Oooh, don’t you love it when they do something they hate just because it makes you happy? And it makes it extra special because you weren’t expecting it. Sounds like you had a great day!
Oh and excellent re Sawyer. I was hoping it wasn’t just me, Heidi, Jo and Suzanne!

My husband doesn’t believe in the drivel that is Valentines Day (his words). He thinks it’s too commericial and he WILL NOT get dragged into all that! Yes, he’s sterotypically Australian. He insisted when we got up on Sunday morning that we go to a local art festival. Art festival? He hates those things!!! Anyway, we got the kids ready, headed out and had a great time. We had a nice outdoor lunch and the kids really enjoyed looking at the art. On our way home in the car hubby looked over and said ‘happy valentines day’. Who knew he even knew what day it was? He knows I love to go to those things. Guess there might be at least one romantic bone in his body after all…

BTW, give me a Sawyer over a Jack any day 🙂

Maya – Jack? Not another one! Ah well, all the more Sawyer for me. 🙂
A bowl of porridge sounds like the perfect Valentine’s treat!

Sorry, deleted previous due to too many typos!

My Valentine's might not register too high on the romantic scale for lots of people, but it was just the way I wanted it.

Hubby and I wished each other Happy Valentines (we don't do cards much), he asked me what I wanted for breakfast and I said...a bowl of...porridge. Yes, you heard right! But trust me, he has a way of making it that just makes it better than chocolate!
Okay that’s stretching it a bit.
Seriously though, that was what I wanted just then. We did go out for a meal later as a family, ate lots, laughed lots and generally had a lovely, lovely time.

PS - Sawyer is mega hot, but I too prefer Jack!

Lacey – it’s a constant temptation I gotta tell ya…

Maisey – the man is a god. He’ll make it up to you I’m sure. 🙂

As you know, Jackie, I'm not having the best V Day what with the horrible sickness!! But Haven is a doll and he cleaned the house and now he's putting our new fridge together and stuff. (oh yeah, the fridge broke!)

But, due to the fact that I'm a walking germ factory, the romance is postponed for a few more days! ;-)

There’s a French chocolatier up the road? I admire your restraint! I’d have moved the whole family in with said chocolatier in three seconds flat…

Heidi – no drama. It’s always nice to spread the love around! Lovely he was your first hero inspiration – no wonder Monroe was so damn gorgeous in that case. Bummer re the grumpy 12 year old. Bit of a romance killer eh? No doubt we’ll have that soon – in another four years. But mine will be a grumpy teenage girl and I think that’s probably worse. Sigh. Hope you had a good time though.

Caroline – hope you enjoyed your walk! That sounds lovely. As does the watching of Pearl Harbour. Nothing wrong with a bit of secret drooling. 🙂 Oh yeah, just got VD. So to speak! Lol!!

My VD was very quiet. Just the two of us and the dogs. So a nice long walk this morning – and now DH2B is watching England play rugby. NOt very romantic but then we are going to put on Pearl Harbour and I will (secretly) drool over Josh Hartnet – hee hee. Take care. Caroline x p.s just realised the connotation of “VD”. Opps!
