But this year, with me pregnant, hubby wanted to so he made reservations for Thursday (avoid the VDay crowds) and we went out to eat. Next year, we were talking as we ate, with the baby outside and not inside my stomach, we won't be able to go to such a fancy restaurant. Maybe it will be our little one trying her first real food then :)<BR/><BR/>I really like the idea of having a meal with the kids for Valentine's dayMommyLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608956553350425075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-11201800411382012702007-02-13T18:56:00.000-06:002007-02-13T18:56:00.000-06:00Molly..YUM!Lindsey...what an adorable meal idea. ...Molly..YUM!<BR/>Lindsey...what an adorable meal idea. I am going to do that next year, or maybe green potatoes for st. patties with shamrock hamburger patties..LOL<BR/><BR/>I saw a sweet little girl make truffles on vision forums "everday news network", we are going to attempt those and bake some cookies for a few sweet elderly neighbors.<BR/><BR/>I am excited to have found a copy of the devotional <I>Streams in the Desert</I> at the thrift store to give my book loving husband. They sell hardbacks 3 for $1.Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455835076577157629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-34641961719708596402007-02-13T15:07:00.000-06:002007-02-13T15:07:00.000-06:00Son is sick so haven't thought of what I'll make f...Son is sick so haven't thought of what I'll make for Valentine's Day yet but we'll definitely be eating at home...we'll save a night out for a time when restaurants aren't so crowded and there aren't "special holiday menus" with temporarily raised prices. But just want to jump in to say that your cheesecake recipe I used for the baby shower turned out wonderfully, everyone loved it and the guest of honor was thrilled by it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-19056893521661975952007-02-13T11:22:00.000-06:002007-02-13T11:22:00.000-06:00I'm glad I'm not the only one having a special din...I'm glad I'm not the only one having a special dinner at home! At times like these, it is easy to get eaten up with jealousy at couples with babysitting budgets, isn't it?Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-45310589180710195062007-02-13T10:44:00.000-06:002007-02-13T10:44:00.000-06:00I think I'll make cinnamon rolls this afternoon fo...I think I'll make cinnamon rolls this afternoon for my hubby's breakfast tomorrow morning. I know he'll enjoy the break from his regular oatmeal! Tomorrow night I'm making chicken parmesan, caesar salad, crescent rolls and a heart shaped cake for dessert. I'm looking forward to spending the day baking/preparing! Hopefully my 5 month old cooperates. We'll be eating dinner later than usual...after Helen is in bed. A romantic evening.<BR/><BR/>We don't go out on Valentines Day anymore. I just can't stand the crowds and, honestly, I can make a meal that is just as nice or nicer for less than half the cost. Plus no babysitter is required!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03219487185122225081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-70313424389697876832007-02-13T10:17:00.000-06:002007-02-13T10:17:00.000-06:00Awww, thanks, Meredith!

I usually serve heart shaped mini cakes and red fruit punch too.<BR/><BR/>It isn't the healthiest of meals but it is fun.TheNormalMiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331429075393644206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-81710768242322224112007-02-13T08:09:00.000-06:002007-02-13T08:09:00.000-06:00Yum, Cheesecake sounds good.

My hubby avoids cheese like the plague, but I have planned an extra special meal since Valentines Day corresponds with his first week at a new job. <BR/><BR/>We will be having, Filet Mignon, lobster mashed potatoes, green bean bundles wrapped in bacon, and chocolate lava cake with fresh whipped cream and raspberries.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I paid full price for was the beef... not too bad.<BR/><BR/>As always, thanks for the inspiration!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18260907733353900509noreply@blogger.com
