So today we tried to sleep in some since Glenn & I did not get to bed until around 2:00 AM. Sick kids and wanting to stay up to have some kid free time has been making us both night owls and early birds. Papa Herman came by to see about getting help moving Lois's big TV out today. We took our time getting up, making breakfast, and starting our day. I let the kids open up their Valentine's Day goodies and Papa Herman wanted to give them the cards he had for them as well. They also gave the candy, homemade cards and presents they had to their daddy, Glenn.
We spent the rest of the day keeping Merlova occupied, and playing nurse to sick Zhivanna and Akorren. They played the Wii game we rented (Dewey's Adventure, cute game) and I was even able to get Akorren to do some of his work from missing school all this past week. The kids watched Nim's Island in the PM and had small snacks for dinner, no one was really hungry for our normal sit down dinner. So at about 8:30 PM when the kids were in bed I made Glenn and I a nice Tai peanut chicken meal with pud-tai (shrimp) noodles on the side. So much for going out for a kid free dinner on Valentine's Day. We will just owe ourselves a night out once the kids are all better again soon.
It is interesting how much LOVE and being in love has changed for us over the years. Especially the life Glenn & I had before children. It is almost like a long forgotten life we faintly remember having. We loved having fun and doing things with other people, enjoyed the nights out: movies, playing pool, out to a bar or dinner over at friends houses. I am always amazed at how much having the children has made me love Glenn all the more. I think he is the most sexy, loving, great husband, man and dad around and I am glad that I have him. I also love my 3 little Valentine's so much I can not imagine my life without them, (even though lately I really am tired of this all being suck at home and being sick thing!). Being able to love so many different people in such a deep way is a truly touching experience and a wonderful thing to feel in living this thing we call 'life'. It is at times like this, when I get both mad and sad because I know it never always going to be like this, with feeling all the love. I know in reality that I am not immortal, like I think I am and it saddens me that I cannot go on forever feeling the love that I have with my family. (sigh) So in the meantime I will enjoy it while I can and take all the hugs and kisses I can give and get. Hope you have a good day filled with love and joy in your heart. Akorren with his V-day goodies, Zhi and the $ from Papa & Lois, Papa H looks at the cards while Merlova eat spidey chocolate, daddy admires the envelope to his homemade card.
