"Then why are there so many hearts on TV?"
"Well, it is almost Valentines Day"
"Oh Good! What day is going to be the party?"
That is how it went a few nights ago between Ethan and I. For those of you who don't know Ethan loves everything about Valentines Day, and we have had party for it the past two years. So, to keep with the tradition we will be hosting a 3rd Annual Valentines Day Party! (More info to come!)
It is really mind boggling to me how Ethan developed such a love for this Holiday. I know for sure where he didn't get it and that is his dad.
Brian hates Valentines Day and everything that goes along with it. He doesn't do gifts, cards, or even a "hey pal good going" that day. He feels justified by the fact that he shows us how much he loves us every other day of the year. And that he is not going to "tricked" by marketing companies. He works so hard to "stick it to the man" that whole day and so it usually ends up being a blah day all together.So, where on Earth did Ethan's pure love for the holiday come from? How did he even learn it is a day of love and not a day of frustration? I don't know and I might NEVER know, but at least I have someone to spend a very special day with. Someone who doesn't mock it and doesn't roll his eyes at the thought of it.
I guess you could just say that I have found my Valentine!

Oh sweet Ethan! Where did our husbands come from? Nathan feels the same way but I MAKE him do stuff. I just guilt him and ask him what kind of example he's setting for his precious little sons who love the holiday. He wouldn't want to spoil their excitement would he? The year I did that, he participated and now we all have a great Valentines, even though I know deep inside Nathan still thinks it's a wasteful holiday! TRY IT DANAE....TRY IT!!! There's always hope!
They always say that the first girl a little boy ever loves is his mom...
