I love Valentine's Day...not because I get flowers, chocolate, or romantic cheesy-ness (I do not get any of those things). I couldn't care less about those things, really. Don't get me wrong, I love a good gift...but I'd rather it be on a day that means nothing, and not on a day when it's expected. I don't love fancy restaurants...McDonald's is my fav remember!? But I do love being an elementary school teacher on Valentine's Day. The kids were sooo excited all day to pass out their cards, and I loved the expressions on some of their faces...as if they were getting gold in those preciously decorated white sacks. I loved seeing Elizabeth's face as she opened each card, one by one, and discuss the kind of valentine that ___ gave, just for HER! Days dedicated to showing others you thought about each of them...even if it's with a commercialized Angry Birds folded valentine...should be mandated more often. Spirits were happy and high all day long....starting at 6:30am
Now, dinner is finished, kids are bathed, PJ's are on, and are watching my ALL TIME favorite:
Lady and the Tramp!
