I came home from a basketball game and grocery run to this in my Facebook newsfeed.
It made me giggle, because on our way home we stopped at Dollar General to grab 3 boxes of Valentines for 3 satisfied school kids who then happily taped Halloween and/or Christmas parade candy on each dollar store card. And we are ready for Valentine’s Day sooner than 10:00 the night before. Mom wins with good enough! (Maybe next year I can make something Pinterest worthy.) 
So this week we have Ash Wednesday, Azure co-op drop,Valentine’s Day, a home basketball game Friday night, and basketball games for our two oldest all day Saturday. Let’s get this show on the road!

Have a fun week! Are any of you buried under all that snow I keep seeing in photos? So jealous! It seems winter is skipping my part of Kansas this year.
PS ~ Do you make, buy, or skip valentines completely?
We buy them. (As you may have guessed from my FB status.
) I love Valentine’s Day! I’m not sure I’d enjoy it as much if I turned it into a complicated affair. (By the way, those burritos look amazing every time I see them. My husband won’t TOUCH beans, but I may have to make them some night when he’ll be working late!)
When I try to open the Aussie Chicken Recipe I get French Bread. French Bread and the burrito recipe both work.
Yikes! Thank you! It’s fixed now.

We stopped at the Dollar Tree yesterday and bought valentines…then I felt a little guilt pang, so my son made some homemade valentines for his teacher and teacher’s aid. Not quite ready for Pinterest, but yeah, maybe next year
.
My son found some Star Wars valentines on clearance this weekend and insisted he’d still like them next year, so… we got ‘em!
We got ours at Target! When I get all that fancy homemade stuff from other kids at school, I say WOW! But that’s where it ends, I do not have the time, patience, not desire to do that for something that is going to get thrown away anyways!
