This year Valentine's Day took a more low key approach. With Blake, Boston, and Ella being sick with coughs and runny noses, they didn't want to do much. So I went a head and made them some pancakes for breakfast that were pink and heart-shaped to celebrate the holiday. I always have a grander idea in my head of what I plan on doing and it always takes a simple route because something always comes up to alter my plan! But as I was working on breakfast Blake tapped me on the shoulder so I would turn around, and he had a pink carnation with a heart shaped box of chocolate. Yes it was simple but that is all I need right now, so it was perfect!
Since it was Sunday I got ready to go to church and even stayed up the night before to make Boston a cute red bowtie to match with Ella's red dress. I was sad that I was the only one who ended up going to church because I really wanted to have Boston and Ella in their cute Valentines outfits but the both were not feeling well so they slept and Blake stayed home as I went to church.
It makes me so sad to see my little babies sick, but at least Boston was feeling up to a cookie! He sure has a little sweet tooth and he loved the yummy sugar cookies we made the day before for Valentines day! I love baking and it is so fun to be able to decorate the cookies. (Only 15 more days and I will finish my Whole60 so then I can try them! )
I loved Ella's cute outfit! It was so cute on her with the ruffled baby leg warmers and the heart shaped headband, plus she can make any outfit look cute! I didn't really have a "Valentinesy" outfit for Boston but he did a a red and grey raglan shirt so I thought that would work great and it did! Plus he would much rather go naked so worrying about a Valentine's outfit wasn't that big a deal.
For dinner I didn't even get out the tablecloth, because no one was really hungry because of the sickness! But I still managed to make some spaghetti for dinner, as a plus I used my spiralizer to make some carrot noodles for me, so I could eat dinner as well and it was good! I am still getting the hang of the spiralizer but plan to use it more in my Whole30 dishes!
This chalkboard art I did by our front door was the only Valentines decor I managed to get around to doing this time around. It is a little sad but time just kept getting away from me so I never got around to making a heart garland to hang, but we did manage to send out Valentines to grandma and grandpa so that was a win! Hopefully next year we will be a little more festive! And I finally got Boston and Ella in their Valentines outfits, just a week late, but at least they weren't as sick this week as last! Hope your Valentine's Day was filled with love and chocolate!
