V-Day

2/17/2014

I cared slightly more about Valentine's this year than I usually do, mostly because of Ruby. (I've quite enjoyed the past few years and being able to get away with not really celebrating certain holidays) There are little heart-shaped window clings on our window and the door is covered in a sad attempt at a family craft project (can you say Pinterest FAIL?).

At daycare they had a little party in her class. I had questioned whether or not it was really necessary to bring v-day cards for 3yo's* but apparently it's legit. I had some free time that day so I went to daycare to hang out with her at the party. There was one other parent there and we ended up passing out treats and divvying up v-day cards into bags for the kids while the teacher tended to a little girl who was screaming her head off.  Afterwards Ruby asked to go home with me so I brought her home. Twenty minutes later she asked to go back to daycare. Twenty minutes after that the sugar kicked in and I was wishing I could take her back!

At home we enjoyed a large assortment of meats, cheeses, and olives. There was also crackers but I don't even bother with those. It's all about the prosciutto and olives for me! We each had our own wine type drinks, Jam Jar for H, Lambic's Framboise for me, and sparking grape juice for Ruby.  Ruby didn't like the grape juice. I thought we'd have to pry the bottle out of her sticky little fingers! She did however really like the goat cheese with garlic, gouda, and havarti. After Ruby went to bed H and I continued plowing through episodes of Breaking Bad. We just finished season 3.

Originally we'd had plans to go to dinner on Saturday night, just H and I, but bad weather kept his parents away and we cancelled our reservations. H takes things like this much more in stride than I do. I was terribly disappointed that we had to cancel, as we haven't had any time to ourselves since before Ruby switched to her new daycare, about 6 weeks. I seriously don't know how some people can go months, even years without being away from their kids. H was totally down with bringing her with us to the restaurant but after the Noodles & Co. incident there was no way in hell. Instead we watched more Breaking Bad and raided the leftover olives.

How did you celebrate V-day? If at all! 

*you know how many shits those kids gave about the cards? Approximately zero. I tried showing them to Ruby the next day but all she cared about was the Spongebob gummy crabby patties. (gross)
