Well, Valentine's Day was celebrated a day early in our household. Who's to blame? Me, of course! It was Wednesday night and while Mike was driving home from work, I decided to call him. Jules had been peppering me with questions all day relating to Valentines Day, wondering what gift Dad was planning on buying her, etc., et nauseum, and I thought I'd better remind Mike to buy a gift for Jules as well! As we talked Mike asked me, "Isn't Valentine's Day Friday?" "No," I confidently replied, "it's tomorrow, and seeing as its supposed to storm, you'd better get something now!"
And so, when Mike came home around 6:00p.m., he had two bouquets in his arms; red roses for me and multi-colored carnations for Juliet.
Fast-forward to Friday afternoon, at around four o'clock as I sat drinking my afternoon coffee, I happened to glance at the calendar, only to realize that....it was Valentine's Day! Well, if that isn't typical me to get the date mixed up and not realize it till a day later!!! Oh well, it was still fun to celebrate our love and enjoy all of the presents. Juliet was so into the whole day that at night she made me write up a play (with all her ideas) and present it to Mike! It was a play about a princess (Juliet, of course), a birthday celebration, a bunch of magic fairies, and an evil witch. Juliet was so excited about the whole production that she was jumping up and down in excitement and could hardly contain herself. I had to wear some of Juliet's ridiculously gaudy princess dress-up items since I was the queen and Jules wore her favorite pink dress. Mike filmed a part of the play, and if I get up my nerve, I just might post it. So that was our Valentine's Day, celebrated a day early.
