Valentines and sick kiddos

So it may be a shock that Dave and I are not the most romatic couple in the world . For example...when he asked me to marry him it sounded a bit like this
Dave -"Ithink that I am going to pass out"
Patty- " Do you need some water
Dave- "no thanks"
Dave-"so why don't we get married?"
Patty- "okay"
Dave -" did I just ask you to marry me?"
Patty- "I think that you did"
Dave- "do you want the ring now or later?"
Patty- " NOW!!!!!!!!!!"
So we got married. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't have wanted it to go any other way in fact I am glad it was so laid back. no stress. another example is our honeymoon, we spent the majority alone but we did go on vacation with his oldest sister and it was so much fun! not the most romantic honeymoon but it was the best!!!, so to impress people we tell them that we went to San Francisco for a 10days, and leave it at that but only if they don't ask what we did. My husband is a bit more romantic than I am for example he dose buy me jewelry with out me knowing, but in his defence he dose it because he wishes that he could wear it so really not romantic. so to get to the point, the one Valentines day that I was feeling like I needed some romance he bought me The Ewoks battle for endor. I was so mad, (I need to say that the reason that I wanted to feel romance was I had a baby a month before and not feeling great about myself) that was a rare occasion and not to be repeated. we have made it a tradition to spend Valentines day With our Kiddos. it is fun...except when they are sick. It has been a week since Isaac had strep and no sign that it spread to the rest of us until February 14. Dave and I were planning on taking the boys to the 3 dollar theater to see Bolt. Levi started to scream and pull on his ear and we took his temp and again a temperature above 103 not my idea of fun so we didn't get to go to the movie so Isaac and I went to the store and bought some dinner and then we rented a movie and we also bought a movie so It was a good night still!!


I did eat a piece of shrimp, did you know if you are allergic to shellfish you probably shouldn't eat Shrimp, I just wanted to taste it, needless to say when my tongue swelled up I was not able to taste it so it was a bad idea!!!
