Valentine's Day was celebrated before and after for us, since Tristan had to leave to go to work on Valentine's Day. We made plans to have dinner the night before he left and went to a new restaurant for both of us. It was pretty good but mostly we just enjoyed some time to ourselves.
I planned a fun dessert (thanks to Pinterest) for later that evening. Tristan really likes sushi, but me...not so much. So I compromised with this dessert sushi. I was actually really pleased with how they turned out. It tasted just like strawberry shortcake and I made everything from scratch including the cake! The sauce is a strawberry coulis and was super yummy. We had sparkling blueberry juice with it and enjoyed some quiet time once the boys were in bed for the night.
A Valentine's picnic!
I had a special Valentine's Day breakfast planned as well, but since he got called in early we didn't have it until after Valentine's Day. And yes, these were ideas from Pinterest, too. And yes, we really did eat it on Ethan's Cars table...we were in the middle of moving and the table was already at the house!
I was a bad mom and didn't really do anything major for the boys while Tristan was gone. We did make a handprint/footprint craft for their grandparents and also made some cookies to deliver with them on Valentine's Day. We also dropped some valentines off to friends, so at least I recognized it!
