Valentine's Day is not enthusiastically celebrated around this house, unless you count the sugar buzz that usually happens after consuming classmates' Valentines. (Sometimes I even let the kids have some.) But this year, Mike and I are going to sneak away for a quick dinner while the kids enjoy a pizza and their candy hauls at home.
We're not doing anything fancy - no reservations or unpronounceable entrées here - in fact, we'll likely end up grabbing a burger and beer at the local pub. But I'm not one to pass up any opportunity to get dressed up, and an adults-only meal at a restaurant totally qualfiies. So I'm grabbing my bright fuschia sweater, wool mini and black tights (good for the chilly temps and lingering snow), along with a chunky jewel necklace and peep toes (not so good for the snow, but HELLO! footwear is meant to be cute, not practical!) to celebrate the night.
And you can bet when we get home, I'll be kicking off those heels and raiding the kids' candy stash.
Happy Valentine's Day and lots of love to you, my friends!
