Thursday Thirteen #1

posted in a little bit of everything |

This is my first Thursday Thirteen, but I really liked the Valentine’s theme for today. I want to tell you 13 things I enjoy about Valentine’s Day.

  1. Little stuffed animals made especially for Valentine’s Day
  2. The fact that my daughter still does the Valentine card exchange at school (she’s in 6th grade)
  3. The cute little Twisted Whiskers Valentine’s cards my daughter chose to give her class mates
  4. Seeing all the younger kids walking in to school with their cute little Valentine boxes
  5. Sneaking a Valentine’s surprise into my daughter’s back pack this morning
  6. Waking up this morning to my husband telling me to have a Happy Valentine’s Day
  7. Having husband ask me to go out to dinner tonight (I like that he thought of it before he left the house!)
  8. Receiving all of the cute Valentine emails I get from my sisters
  9. All of the chocolate wrapped in pink and red foil
  10. Pink and red M&M’s
  11. Watching a romantic movie on tv this evening (I don’t know yet which one)
  12. Waiting anxiously for my daughter to come home and tell me about the surprise she found in her back pack
  13. The feeling of love that is everywhere on Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! :-

    Awww…. I really miss the kids doing Valentines at school. Now that they’re in middle school and high school, the valentines are all about boy-girl things.

    My dd is in 5th, and this will be her last year of Valentines. Sigh. I will miss it, but not the late-night cookie making.

    My 6th grade son insisted that Valentines “aren’t allowed” when I asked him if he was bringing any to school. I asked him what he would do if any of his girl friends gave him one. He said, “They won’t.” Well, they did!

    Awww, what a way to start with TTs! We took two boxes of valentines with us to dinner last night and the kids addressed them there. They haven’t done the cut boxes in a couple of years and I have a feeling that DD won’t do ‘em next year in middle school.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Awesome TT, Lynne! I had a great time helping my two boys with their Valentines.
    I wish I’d thought to put something special in their lunches.
    Have a wonderful time with your hubby tonight.

    Welcome to Thursday Thirteen!

    Your list is so wonderful; I got home about an hour ago from kindergarten pick-up and saw all the kids with their boxes in hand, and the two kids in my car dove into their boxes and compared what they’d gotten…

    All that wonder and excitement. It gives the day a new meaning.

    Happy TT! I hope you stick around; this is an amazing group of people. And, of course, thanks for visiting. I can’t get enough of visitors!

    Thanks for visiting my TT. My Hubby is out of town, but he made sure I had a card first thing this morning. So my Valentines is turning out much better then I thought it would.

    I saw a bag of green m&m’s someplace and thought that was a rather celver take on the chocolate side of Valentine’s Day.

    Enjoy your night out with the husband and congrats on your first Thursday 13 - it’s a fun day, once a week, where you learn all sorts of interesting bits and pieces :-)

    I’m guessing it was not a snake you put into her backpack… That’s not very Valentine’s Day-esque, but it would be sneaky, and you’d love to hear of her surprise too, right? ;)

    Happy TT! (I’m in at this blog too.)
