V-Day ROCKS!

Today is Valentine's day and I have so much to tell! First of all this morning, mom decided she didn't feel so good, and we were in from church. I slept 'till about 7:00 a.m. Then, Livvy came in. She told me to wake up, and I groaned. That repeated 3 more times, and she surrendered for about 5 minutes. Then she came in and said,"Ally, do you want to flip pancakes or not!?!" Of course, I want to. Flipping pancakes is, like, my favorite thing to ever do. So my immediate reaction was to suddenly flip my face out of the pillow and say,"DUH." We got downstairs, and finally made the pancakes. Luckily, at the last second my mom let everyone put 2 drops in, which makes like 8 drops of red food coloring. It turned out we had not just heart pancakes, but rainbow pancakes, snowman pancakes, bear pancakes, and my favorite,
Ducky Pancakes!
We ate all of our pancakes, and started playing around. I asked when mom was going to let us pass out valentines, and she said we could do it right now! I cut some hearts out, took some stick on lace, stuck it on there and wrote down a couple of poems on them in different colored markers. The following are the poems.

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Sugar is SWEET and so are YOU!

Valentine's day is not just about food or sweet chocolate candies galore. It's not about parties you have at school, wishing that there could be more. It's not about cards or the fun decorating or even the mushy gushy goo. Valentine's Day is just one special way of saying that I love YOU!

What does Valentine's day mean to you? Does it mean parties and sweet candies too? Does it mean cupid or mushy gushy goo? To me it means that I LOVE YOU!!!!!


I got a little box of candies from mom, similar to this one below.
