You know its just around the corner have you started thinking about it? I have been looking around for some cute simple treats to make. This year V Day is on a Saturday. Hoping that the weather is nice to do a little Surf & Turf dinner for DH. We have very nice 1" T bones from the side of beef and I think I will pick up a couple lobster tails. Have raw shrimp in the freezer for cocktails.
Share your ideas/plans etc.
I have 20 envies for a Surf & Turf Valentines Day Giveaway each with:
20 x -$1 on Meat, Seafood or Poultry x 2/28/15 20 x -$1 on Seafood x 2/28/15 15 x -$1 on Any Deli item x 3/31/15
We will let this one run til 2/1/15 @12 pm. If we have more than 20 entries names will be tossed in a hat and picked. If less than 20 the remaining goodies will be divided up amounst those that entered.
One thing I found that is easy enough for me to do.
I found these in the dollar spot at Target a couple weeks ago and will use them for cake pops also.
And of course the traditional boob snapshot will be sent to DH.
So spill what is your ideas/plans for Valentines Day?

We are actually going to get away for the weekend to Lake Geneva. (Un)fortunately the kids will be coming too. We are taking my niece though to help with the kids so maybe we will get some alone time or at least a dinner together alone. My DH's folks are watching the kids the Saturday before so we can go out for a nice dinner. That will be nice.

On the Friday we're staying overnight at my parents' house in Waukegan. My brother and his family are coming in for the weekend. My bro suggested maybe the parents could go out after kids go to bed, we'll see?

Well, let's see....I'm getting a mammogram in the morning, does that count as a boob picture? I should think so! . I'm not sure when or how we will celebrate.. DH will possibly be out of town, but I imagine we will celebrate by going out to eat whenever he is home. I've been working on putting together a Valentine care package for DD18, now that she is away at school she sure does appreciate getting goodies in the mail. Seriously makes her day. I'm not sure what I will do for DD13, she isn't a huge chocolate fan, but does like other candy so I will probably buy her a little assortment of other candies. And my darling Snickers will probably get lots of kisses and hugs.

With it being on Saturday... I figured we can do some valentine themed family activities during the day with the kids (DD7 and DS8- he turns 9 on next week). Then later in the Day, DH and I might go out to dinner if we find a sitter. Otherwise might order-out and watch movies all evening.
I am no baker so I figured I keep it simple. For breakfast pancake (thinking of using a red food coloring) with strawberries. snack project --- white chocolate dipped strawberries with a drizzle of strawberries. lunch--- not sure yet cos I cant think of a meal where I can incorporate the red, pink or white theme. I guess I have 2 weeks to figure that out
I also have a manicure and pedicure scheduled..... bought a groupon deal months ago.

Well I would love to go out for supper alone with DH but the kids enjoy going out too. So not sure what to do. I usually get the 4 boys a card and a little heart filled with chocolates. And I will not be letting DH know that you send your DH boob shots or he will be all over me for one. Lol. Good for you for doing that. I am always afraid I will text it to the wrong person. Ha!! My best friend did that once with a full nude shot. Lol thank god it went to me!! Oh lord! Anyways thanks for the giveaway.

And they are covered. I would never ever ever do anything else. DH just got a new iphone so thinking he will enjoy it more now than on his old flippin flip phone

Hmmm, at the moment I don't have anything specifically planned but I did pencil in these activities: Bartlett Public Library 1-3pm Design a Valentine's Day card, a pop-up book or your own work of art using a variety of supplies and media. Let your imagination go wild! Gail Borden - Rakow 1-2:30pm Celebrate Valentine's Day with your family! Come enjoy stories, finger plays and a craft.
Have to see what pops up between now and then.

LTC, that is hysterical!! Lol!
Boob shots for everyone, in honor of Kathy.
We're going out to dinner at a dinner-theater place near by. Should be fun!
I have little valentines gifts made up for the kids. I made dh a photo book from our trip & I think I am going to get him a new backpack or laptop bag.
Those are awesome wine tags, clippin!
Thanks for the contest! Sounds like everyone has nice plans.

It's great of you to do this again Clippintosave!
Phone is a work phone so the closest thing to a boobshot that DH would get is a text flash ( . Y . ) haha! I did do a boudoir session 16 years ago for him, for our anniversary I think. He keeps one of the lower key pics in his locker at work (I'm covered up in a black lacy number).
We're going on a mid-winter break down to FL next week, just the 2 of us...working out some cabin fever and doing the rest and relaxation kind of vacation with no big scheduled plans. I have a massage I can do while I am there from a groupon and hope to catch up with some HS friends that live there.
As for the actual day, I will probably do surf and turf, as I have been thinking about that , strangely enough!
Maybe I'll make a heart cake if I do well over the time away and don't go too much over the daily calorie limits. I end up eating the bulk of cake so it may not be a good idea- not sure if they have small heartshaped cakes at all , if I see one I may pick one up or maybe cannoli's- I haven't bought them in at least 2 months!

Nezz it took me a minute to see your boobs! I am so slow. DH is working that evening. DD and I will probably have dinner at home, but I know the surf is out for her. She ate so many fish sticks as a kid she can't stand any fish or seafood now.
