Day 45: Happy Valentines Day

..or Happy New Year as Skylar continued to say throughout the whole day!

Okay, before I start in on our Valentines Day - a little update on bub is that it's NOT pneumonia but instead a severe ear infection. Phew. I mean it stinks that he's in pain but it's SO much better then pneumonia. I guess what they're thinking took place is that his last antibiotic failed him and so his already infected ears got worse, causing more drainage and then producing a wicked cough. Every since he had RSV as a little baby, his lungs have never been the same and any type of virus seems to turn to a cough and another ear infection. Sigh. So we are now on a different antibiotic and hoping to kick this nasty ear infection this time around!

Back to Valentines Day...
Am I the only one who really doesn't understand the point of this day? I mean sure, it's great to receive flowers and candy but really?! You need a whole day to remind you to do that?! When Matthew asked what I wanted for V-day this year, I simply said - nothing. I really think it's a thing for kids now. Or maybe if you're a working gal its nice to get flowers sent because every girl wants to show off how good her man is! So this year, we stuck to the basic cards with the basic "I love you's." Oh and I did manage to get a washing machine and dryer thrown in on the deal too sooooo, I'm not completely without! ;) Our babies all got something small because I really am trying to scale back on how much I give them. I tend to go a bit overboard and I've noticed that Skylar has come to expect certain things and that's just not the way it should be! But she still has a giving heart because although her candy heart only held 3 chocolates, she gave one to her brother and wanted to give another to her neighbor friend, Francesca. Anyway, my little loves woke up to this...
Each of them got a stuffed animal and Bryce and Skylar each got chocolate...which as you can see Bryce had a little for breakfast! ;) Skylar is all about naming her animals so her giraffe is "pokie - the giraffe," Brycen's gorilla is "monkey dude" and Eva's elephant is "ellie" which is something I helped her out with! Skylar looked around and said...well mama, what did Santa leave you for Valen-day?! I did my best to explain that this is not from Santa, this is from mommy and daddy. She kinda frowned for a second and said, well I didn't get you anything. How wrong she is! I told her that just like she has that baby giraffe, bubba has a gorilla, and Eva an elephant - I have each of them! She smiled big!

Now since I had to take B to the doctor and wasn't sure how sick he was, I kept Skylar home from school. Which meant no Valentines Day party and no opportunity to pass out her cards and goodies...
I'm still planning on taking them on Tuesday so her friends still get them! See her name?! I'm pretty proud of her. She can write it so much better then then but she REFUSED to write over Sponge Bob! On the right are little bags of goldfish that say "Valentine, you're a real catch!" Creative, right?! Totally stole it off of pinterest. So today was a LOVELY day and I'm so happy our little B is on the mend. Happy V-Day, everyone!
