Yesterday I took 3 of my kids and went with my sister and her daughter to Lava Hot Springs. It was so much fun. Soaking in hot water for a little over and hour was really relaxing. My skin still feels so soft. I didn't get any pictures because there was too much steam and I didn't want to hurt my camera. We stopped at a local dinner for lunch, it looked like a dive but the food was super! My husband was home with the other 2 kids and they had a good time being boys and having grandma and grandpa bring lunch and visit for awhile. It is so nice to have family close to drop by or go do crazy stuff with. His knee is doing well and stitches come out in 2 days. We will see what he can do after that.

Just a comment about Valentine's Day. First of all my husband and I decided long ago that we didn't need a day to tell each other that we love each other or do something special just because "they" say we should. So we order Chinese take out and usually watch a movie together and we don't give each other anything. I did actually buy him some tulips, just because of surgery and they were so pretty! I did do the normal make sugar cookie hearts for the kids to decorate and I made them heart waffles for breakfast and valentines on their pillows for when they came home from school. That is about it. I love my husband and family so much, I tell them as much as I can, not just one day a year!
