Oh sorry, I was channeling Kermit the Frog there for a minute.

So guess what Valentine's Day was! Go on, guess!

Good guess. Now guess how many years (there's a hint for you in the title of this post)...Aren't my roses beautiful??? Mr. Happy's tradition is to buy me one rose for each year we've been married. This year, he threw in 3 extra roses (the yellow, white and pink) because he thought they looked pretty...and because at times it's been a challenging year:
We celebrated with take-out from Boston Pizza. Look! They even made the pizza in the shape of a heart:
The children each received non-candy gifts - Thumbelina's was a heart shaped pillow that she immediately threw on the floor and laid her head upon:
I don't think Tigger could grin any wider if he tried:
So that was Valentine's Day. Today is not Valentine's Day. Today is a day for children to decide to get fevers and other ailments. Three of the four children are sick. Only one is pathetic, although the littlest one was up for a couple of hours last night. She has a stuffy nose, so I think she just had a sore throat from breathing through her mouth (at least I did)...but today...ooooh today she has the kind of ailment where it takes 2 adults to change her diaper, with the help of many many wipies, and then a bath.

The pathetic one is Shaggy and he even skipped out on supper - that's how sick he is. Poor guy. Although he only has a fever, and not a high one at that. But still...for Shaggy not to even want to eat...

Tigger has a fever and has had it since yesterday. He isn't as hot today as he was yesterday.

And yes, now I have a stomachache. Not because I'm getting sick, but because I am paranoid about getting the stomach flu and if someone even hints that they're not feeling well, I automatically get a stomachache.

Family Day should be loads of fun.
