Ok, I wasn't going to post anymore about Valentine's gifts, but the surprises just keep coming. Not only did Carl spend the day with us (yesterday) but he helped clean the house. (mentioned in my last post)
This year (since our pennies are being saved for a new addition to the family) we decided (and by we, I mean me) to just be creative and as corny as possible with spending no more than $10 for Valentine's Day. I sent Carl on a bow hunt. I put up a tartget board in his office with different heart targets on it and he had to use the little $1 toy bow that I gave him to hit the target. When he did he had to figure out the riddle and then he could go find his gift. Mostly just cookies and treats, with the exception of one gift that I made special for him. Well, that was fun and as corny as can be. But I stayed within the rules. I made him chocolate covered strawberries, which he loves, we drank Martinelli's and then asked each other questions from my "get to know you" jar. Ok, so can it get anymore corny....probably. But he did not give me anything that day. No big deal, I love him anyway.
So, yesterday he said that he got me a gift and was going to give it to me last night. He said I am taking you out to dinner. So at 5:45, I went upstairs to get Kya and myself ready for dinner. Anything to keep me from having to cook, works for me. We go downstairs and there is a lady there from Carl's work, she calls herself "grandma", as if Kya doesn't already have enough Grandmas (love you all), and Carl set it up for us to have a babysitter so he could take me out to dinner alone. I LOVE IT! Don't get me wrong, love my little Kya, but I do miss my Carl's undivided attention a little and I have been asking for a date with him alone for sometime now. We just have too much fun taking Kya out...although it was very nice to have his eyes on me at dinner. He took me to a really nice italian restaurant. It was so yummy and a great environment. Ok, long story short....his gift; a surprise (babysitter), a date (alone), dinner (italian food), oh, and the cleaning help in the morning. What more can a girl ask for...I loved every bit of my gift. Carl says he is not very creative with gifts, but I think he did a great job with creativity. Thank you again, Carl...I love you!

That is my favorite gift - forget the flowers or other material things, I'd rather go out to dinner (because I LOVE to eat and have a night off from cooking) and sit across from my hubby without any kids and just focus on us. Kudos to your husband!
