So...what is everyone doing for Valentines?
It's only a week away and I haven't organised anything yet. What (if anything) are you doing for your significant other this year?

We usually don't celebrate Valentine's day, but this year Valentine's day and Mother's day fall on the same date. Sadly hubby is working Saturday night so no sleeping in for me. Perhaps we can convince mil to babysit so we can go out and eat.

We usually don't celebrate it either. Last year I got tickets to see Amaluna from Cirque du soleil. I think that this year, we'll go out for dinner.

Valentine's Day was a much bigger deal pre-kids. I'm doing the usual card exchange with my students and I'll make yogurt parfaits (pink yogurt, cool whip, strawberries, and M&Ms) with my kids and my students. DH and I will probably order dinner in, exchange cards, and give each other some chocolate or other traditional gifts. That's about it.

I usually buy my husband his favorite chocolate and we exchange cards. Not too exciting! I'd love to go out to dinner but it's a busy weekend here...

Nothing. Its not something we celebrate/recognise in any way.

dinner and a movie is all we have planned. I'm sure we will do gifts of some sort. Guess I better get on that. I work all weekend so it kind of limits ideas.

We acknowledge it but don't usually do anything major. I try to avoid the public on holidays at all costs. This year DH works. We do have a day date planned for Monday to celebrate. We'll be doing seeing Deadpool and having lunch at the theater. ( we're super romantic eh :P )

No specific plans around these parts. We may go support the local play group with their murder mystery dinner theater show. Other than that, it will probably just be us staying home with the kids.

Valentine's Day is a double duty day in our house...Kennedy will be turning 5!
*insert my tears* We will have cake and a few presents for Kennedy, but her party isn't until the 20th. And then for me and Jay probably just a nice dinner. Nothing too fancy. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

We're going out of town, the 5 of us. The kids have mid winter break, so they have a 4 day weekend.

We have a funny tradition to go to I-HOP for dinner. While we were dating in college we wanted to go out for dinner on Valentines Day. All the super nice restaurants were packed with long waits. We both were hungry and saw I-HOP wasn't busy, so we went. So now we just made a tradition of it and go every year. Our son LOVES it because he loves pancakes. He calls it pancake day! lol

I kind of want to buy myself a big heart shaped box of chocolates. LOL. We will exchange cards, as we usually do. And we are going to a concert together next Thursday, so that's enough lovey dovey moments for us!

I know! And he's so excited about it... He's been counting the date, every day. I told him a brief concept of date/calendar and he quickly picked it up and every morning asks what date it is.

I love hearing everyone's plans!
Sometimes we get each other gifts, sometimes we don't. It really just depends if there is something one of us want. I usually make a bigger deal out of it for the kids, I ordered Harper a play food set, Keira a CD for her Karaoke machine and a cheap Wii U game for Cooper. And I'll get them some candy. I make a nice dinner for us, if we don't go out. But, over the next few weeks, we have lots of celebrating. LOL! February 20th is our 15 year dating anniversary February 28th is Cooper's Birthday March 8th is the Hubby's Birthday March 19th is my Birthday April 3rd is our 12 year wedding anniversary We'll do something bigger for one of those. LOL! |

We don't celebrate the holiday. I usually buy the kids a mini box of chocolates and that's about as far as it goes.

We usually go out for dinner in a fancy restaurant but this year it won't happen because DH is working.
I wonder what do you guys mean by "card exchange"?

Some very good friends of ours are in town and that's one night we're all free, so we're just having dinner at our house.

We are going to dinner with our DIL and 2 grandbabies to the restaurant that our son manages and is the chef for ... He won't be able to enjoy the evening, but I know we all will!
I also bought little Valentine gifts for the kiddos ... and made a tag for each one and bought them each an outfit to put in their own Valentine gift bag. (The gifts are just cheapies ... a bag of Goldfish crackers with a tag that reads "We think you are a great CATCH Harper" ... and a little dinosaur for Greyson with a tag that read "We think you are DINO-mite Greyson". Lots of little goodies.)

i'll probably bake something, i think i made a layered cake with homemade marshmallow cream cheese frosting last year. hubby and i never do anything for valentine's. i told him when we first got together that if he ever bought me roses on valentine's day, i'd kill him. i'd rather go out to dinner, it's a better way to spend the money (a dozen roses are like, $80-$100 around here during the valentine's day season).

We are going on ski vacation with the kids. It's also President's day weekend here in the US and we get a 4 day weekend with an abbreviated mid-winter break (the Seattle School District struck, so we normally would have gotten the entire week off, but with the strike days, it was reduced). I tried to find some accommodations at Whistler, BC, but everything is booked solid within a 50 mile radius, lol.

We got tickets to go to the rodeo and Pitfall is the concert afterwards. We've lived in San Antonio three times and we've never been to the actual rodeo so this will be a treat!

I doubt we will do anything. I doubt DH even realizes that it's Valentine's Day this weekend. I did sign the kids up for the date night that my church does every other month (which is the 12th) but I was thinking abt going out shopping by myself for the couple of hours they'll be there! Ha!
He knows that he's only required to do something of his own will and accord on my birthday, Mothers' Day, and Christmas so he gets a free pass the other days of the year. I did buy a Valentine's cake mix that we'll make for Family Dinner (dinner at my parents' house with them & us & my sister's family) on the 11th and bought a couple of treats for the kids. |

Not much...except sitting at the soccer fields. The boys have 3 games on Valentine's Day (and one the day before too). If any holiday falls on a weekend, we can be certain it will involve soccer.
We are hoping to squeeze in a nice lunch in between soccer games...we'll see!!!

We have 2 baby showers the day before, 1 for me & 1 for my SIL. We might do something that night. Sunday, I have a morning church meeting, a few hours break, then church til 4. My brothers birthday is the day after and they want everyone over for cake & ice cream Sunday night. We're really not seeing a great time for a fun dinner...
We'd like to make a bigger deal of this one since it's the last "holiday" before the baby comes but time is working against us lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

We are going to go bowling and out to dinner with some friends Saturday night, which while not romantic, is always fun.
Jason wants a new camera for a Valentines/Anniversary combo gift so I'm just waiting for him to pick which one. I'm thinking about surprising him by booking a massage Sunday morning for him. We are spending Valentine's Day at my mom's house. It was my dad's birthday and since he just passed in January we all thought it would be good to have family dinner together that day to honor him.

Sony just came out with their newest mirrorless camera - A6300. On the (really) pricey side but looks really good!

Kristin - I suggested that, but it's too complicated for him. He wants a really good point and shoot with a fixed lens. (Crazy guy). I'd be happy with the A6300 though.

The Love Bug comes to our house. I will be "heart attacking" my boys room with paper and lace hearts and candy. My husband is getting flowers sent to his office by a secret admirer and a massage. All week my 3 yr old and I have been making Valentines crafts. Saturday night we are celebrating our family and taking all the kids to dinner.
