We do try to do something for our kids to remind them that they are out sweethearts so hopefully they won't crave it later from elsewhere.Smith Schoolhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710521602613645074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-35322474308467638922009-02-14T11:28:00.000-05:002009-02-14T11:28:00.000-05:00We can't stand the gimmicks either.

Today's date will be a shopping trip, movie and dinner event. You can call it President's Day or whatever, but time with the Hubs...alone...I'll take that with or without Hallmark.Lisa Hellierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247624724011594390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-11028433202621291222009-02-13T16:03:00.000-05:002009-02-13T16:03:00.000-05:00:) Singles Awareness Day! :) Ok so yes I agree Val...:) Singles Awareness Day! :) Ok so yes I agree Valentines day is a bit too much..

My hubby says Sweetest Day in October is also made up.

Heart shaped pizza is always a fun one. He will be in Chicago this year so it's just the kiddos and I. I told them that we could celebrate by having "build your own sundaes" for dessert. I really wouldn't mind just skipping the whole holiday though...bah humbug!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516705185236516416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-38635818647366691212009-02-13T09:18:00.000-05:002009-02-13T09:18:00.000-05:00Yep...a waist of time...Why do we need the world t...Yep...a waist of time...<BR/>Why do we need the world to tell us...show your spouse you love them?<BR/>James and I don't celebrate...persay...but we do go out for a date night. But...not on Valentine's day. We tried that once! We now go the night before or after, to avoid the crazy crowds. This year we're going with another couple..guess that's what old marrieds do! I'll talk more to her than to my hubby!
