Valentine's Day Sentiments

Colin and Ally showing their love back in 2005

I am not a big celebrater when it comes to Valentine's Day. Never have been, probably never will. Not to say I don't do little things like have heart shaped food, make things in pink and red and the like. But when I hear my children say things like this:

Ally: "I love you Colin"

Colin: "I love you too Ally"

and......

Ally: "I'll do anything for you Colin"

It makes me wish every day could be like this, but I'll take the one day a year and try to make it special for them so they can see how we can always show each other more love every day!

Another "love" moment I am not so fond of is yesterday Ally's teacher talked to me when I dropped Ally off at her class with all her Valentine's goodies to tell me there have been some hurt feelings between her and 2 other boys in class. I start thinking, oh no! Then she surprise me when she says that the boys get their feelings hurt when she picks one over the other when playing and deciding who gets to marry her. Her teacher tells them that they are only in kindergarten and kindergartners don't get married so they don't have to worry about it. Then late in the afternoon, one of the said boys, who actually lives down the street, brought Ally a rose and a little box of chocolates. So sweet and scary at the same time. Spencer really is going to have to lock her up! No dating until she's married!!!


Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
