It’s been a lovely week counting down to Valentine’s Day, celebrating, and then ending the week with the ultimate representation of love- MONSTER TRUCKS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting on February 1, I put signs up for each of my men, “counting down to Valentine’s Day, reasons I love Nate\/Xander\/Gussie” and each night, I added a new heart with a love note listing something I loved about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ate a lot of heart shaped things this week- both in the boys’ lunches and for dinner. I love a theme. And, proving that Xander is SO my child, he surprised Nate and I with breakfast in bed- heart shaped toast and a strawberry he had cut into a heart. He is so thoughtful and so sweet and he is the one who most appreciates my themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Valentine’s Day, the boys had pokemon club, so in addition to Valentine’s for their classes, we also sent special macarons for after school. I brought Valentine treats for after my workout class. I love all holidays! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nate surprised me with my favorite fancy candy, as well as corned beef and rye bread from a nearby deli- he knows the way to my heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made all three men cute Valentine boxes that, when you took the lid off, the sides opened up with lots of fun treats. I saw them on instagram and immediately started working on them for the boys- Xander and Augustus had candy, pokemon cards, and gift cards to the card store. In Nate’s, I put candy, a new wallet, and gift cards to some different things. The boys’ reactions were so fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
