last night, eden and i started love day off by planning a heart-attacking adventure, along with extra large frosted chocolate chip cookies for the ones we love. we made up four goodie boxes/bags filled with candy and v-day chocolate, and topped it off with the chocolate chip cookies. carson's cookie said," i love you". cody's said,"ooh" (it's what he said when he saw it too!) jonathan's said,"be mine...or else" (we had quite a laugh with that one)and the one eden made was for a boy she has a crush on. his said,"i'm lovestruck 4 u" with a bunch of lightning bolts!! heart-attacking was quite an adventure!! i'm way too out of shape to be running for my life!! the boys dad and brother were standing in the front room looking out the window because the dogs were barking. blasted dogs ruined our fun!! we had to stop early in fear we would be found out! it was great!with the left over hearts, we heart attack our own house and the boys were so excited!! we told them it was cupid spreading love!!

we woke up early and made heart-shaped pancakes for the boys with cran-apple juice, blueberries and yogurt!! carson thought it was pretty cool. then we found a map on the table and went on a treasure hunt eden and i made up at 10pm last night!! seriously, i love love day and i always have so much fun!! at the end of the treasure hunt, the boys got their goodies and an over sized card from me!! cody loved his!! it has a puppy on it!! anyway, hope your love day will go as good as ours has so far!! HAPPY LOVE DAY!!
