Valentine's Day

Scott's take on Valentine's Day. You love those you love all year long not just on one day of the year. Scott doesn't get into the fussiness of the day. I do some years and some years not. This year was some year for heart shaped pancakes, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream for breakfast. Our traditional king crab legs, artichokes, and a chocolate mousse pie for dinner.
Preston has been having a lot of "this is the best day ever" days of late. Today was one of them. As usual he found a way to turn his food into something to play with and sat at the table long after everyone had finished. How many different weapons can you turn crab pincers into?He asked me if my mom worked (outside the home) while I was growing up. When I told him she stayed home and took care of me and my siblings he responded, "that means she was the best mom ever, like you!" I can't tell you how much this meant to me. To hear that my little boy express why he loves me being home with him. I am fortunate in that I enjoy staying home, and that Scott makes it possible for me to be home. Our arrangement works for us. I love my family.
I love Scott who shows his love everyday and not just on that "One" day.

I've done cupid pancakes with the batter dyed red, but I like the idea of whipped cream and strawberries. YUM.
