That's right!  My husband!
You can see Lucie's enthusiasm for Valentine's Day.  Really, she had a fun time.

It all began on Monday when we received two boxes from Nanie (my Aunt Mary).  Both kids got so excited to open them!  Here is the scene after the boxes were opened.  What wonderful gifts!

Lucie got a little pink poodle purse that she loves to give kisses.

Inside one of the boxes was a can with the ingredients for popcorn balls.  Since Monday night is our "family night," we made popcorn balls and watched a movie in the basement.  The kids LOVED the popcorn balls.

On Friday, I had a doctor's appointment because this is how I've been sleeping for the past month...

Basically sitting up.  I've just been really dizzy for some reason and it's made me pretty sick! The specialist in Idaho Falls has determined I had an inner ear infection that left me dizzy.  Now I have these exercises to do that are very strange.  This whole thing has been strange.  If it ever happens to you, give me a call! :)

Anyway, Peter had the kids from noon until about 7:00 on Friday so I could go to the doctor and a quick run to Target.  (For some of you, that may seem like no big deal.  For me, a trip to Target is a huge treat!)  What a man!  Then I came home to these:

The night before Valentine's Day, we went to dinner at this country club near where we live.  The food was delicious, and Peter was such a wonderful date.

The kids have been sick for almost 2 weeks, which has been a real party!  Peter has been so good about getting up with them in the night to help me.  We weren't able to go to church on Sunday due to illness, but we were able to have a delicious dinner at home.  Afterward, we made these little gems:

Peanut butter chocolate sandwich cookies.  John was a big help!  He wore my old apron from when I was his age.  (Thanks, Mom :)

Lucie "helped" by reorganizing our DVDs.

It really was such a wonderful Valentine's weekend.  Peter is the most wonderful man ever and I'm so happy he's my husband.  5 years ago we were engaged!  It's been a great 5 years.
