Has everyone figured out what they are doing for V-day?
I bought a shirt of Todd's favorite team (Ohio State) for $6.99, bought wine glasses with hearts on them for $1 at the dollar store, and I had a coupon for ky jelly for $3 off. I bought the cheapest they had, so it cost only $1.49.

My Vday gift for Todd is less than $10.

I'm thinking about wearing the jersey I got him with the lights low when he gets home and he'd have to find me in the bedroom. There, we'll have a quick snack/light dinner and then wine and expirement with the jelly. I know, TMI! Razz

Well, M....sounds like you have it all planned out!

As for us...we will be a little more mild...lol...
I will make the kids heart pancakes and give them a homemade Valentine. We will play heart scarvenger hunt, and have heart pb & j...then we will watch a united streaming educational video about Valentines Day...we will have a candle lite dinner and read a Valentine for Pooh book Wink Laughing And then maybe if I'm not too tired will spend time with Rob..LOL...I'm kidding....I'll make sure to spend special time with my hubby...I guess having small kids puts a totally different spin on Valentines Day... sunny

Nothing special here. Rachel and I are going to see Nemo on Ice as we got tickets at a really good price. Not sure about anyone else.
