Valentines

What? You think it's too early to think about Valentines? (disappointingly, Target does)

I am official WAYYYYYYY into our next holiday.

Check out all these urges I must fight:
  • the urge to buy every Wilton cake product at Micheals
  • the urge to dress in pink every day
  • The urge to buy every size of heart shaped cookie cutters (oh wait, I just did that)
  • the urge to bring heart shaped cookies to girls night tonight (I'm not fighting that one)
  • the urge to buy a big deep reg shag carpet to go in my living room (I really don't want to fight this one)
  • the urge to buy super nice expensive Valentines decor at Pier One (I will fight this one and win)
  • The urge to go tanning (oh wait, that's just cause it's getting springy here)
Which reminds me... after watching Suze Orman on the Oprah Show I was all set out to NOT buy a yard this year and save all our pennies until we have an 8 month cash stash (as suggested). But look what happened... Mr. Sun came out and has decided to taunt us with St. George spring weather. I have since decided it would be a mere impossibility to go through another spring here without green green grass in our backyard. Just completely impossible. (sigh). Dear yard, I command you to be fruitful.

Why are you so hilarious? I totally thought it was a woman singing too. Surprise, surprise. Um, my version of V-day is to buy half price chocolates and choc. dipped strawberries the day after :/

Ah, the yard dilemma. We went for three years without grass in our backyard, which was fine when Gabe couldn't walk, but after that it got to be a problem. Kids need a yard to play in. It's just so darn expensive!
Oh, and I love the cake, it looks really fun.

Spring!!! I am just dying for some of the 6 feet of snow to melt and for the sun to come out longer than 15 minutes. I am so jealous!!! Suzie is a smart lady, I think I would go to the park although looking at dirt everyday is frusturating!
