I usually get pretty spoiled on Valentine's Day. If Jesse ever were to forget (which he's only done once and before we had kids) Atreyu would be sure to remind him. He makes sure that they get something for his mom. Jesse and I gave the kids each a little toy and a small box of chocolates. I really didn't think Jesse and I were going to get anything for each other this year but I called one night when I was at the store to make sure and Jesse said he was planning on getting me something. I grabbed him a few yummy chocolates and some packs of Magic cards.
The evening before Valentine's Day Jesse took the kids to the store. When they got back they told me that they were sorry but all the adult Valentine stuff was gone and they couldn't get me anything. I would look into Cambria's eyes and ask her if everything really was gone and she would say yes and quick look away thinking I couldn't see her smile. When my back was turned, she would give Jesse a thumbs up and smile. She's not the best liar (thankfully).
Since I was under the impression that I was getting nothing, I was pleasantly surprised the next morning with flowers, chocolates, and valentines. I'm such a lucky wife and mother to have the family I do.
