Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!

I just love Valentine's Day! I always have. It's such a simple and sweet day - filled with reds, pinks and whites. What's not to LOVE? Get it LOVE? Valentine's? I know, I'm so funny! :)) Anyway, we've had a great day so far (it's only 8:21am!) We were awoken early this morning by Jack and Elle - Macy was still asleep so we told J and E to lay down with us until Macy got up. Macy is our sleeper, so we are usually waiting for her to wake up. She got up around 7 and everyone was ready for their Valentine's. Jack made a comment to Don that every Valentine's they come into the kitchen and their Valentine's are on the table, but this year there was NOTHING. :)) I didn't even think they noticed and would miss it. Did they really think I would forget Valentine's day? :) This year we did something different. I told Jack to go into my bathroom. He went in, turned on the light and came running out - it's a clue! I had taped a clue onto my bathroom mirror. It read:

Here is your first valentines clue
Find the next one if you’re able
(In case you need a hint where to look,
Try under the table)

Macy and Elle listened intently as Jack read the clue and then they took off to the breakfast table. There they found 3 Valentine heart pens with the next clue. It read:

I am a little cupid
I come to visit thee
And tell you there’s another clue
Hidden in a tree

They ran to one tree in the house - nothing. Next a floor plant. Nothing. Then the girls spotted a tree in the living room and ran to it. There hidden in the tree was Valentine bracelets and necklaces for the girls and an action figure for Jack. Along with this clue that read:

Valentine’s day is lots of fun
Both for girls and boys
See if you can find the next clue
Where we keep our toys

And they were off again. They ran to their rooms and searched and searched. This clue was a little harder. They opened every drawer, searched every place in their room and then Macy found the surprises in the trundle under her bed. It was stickers and stationary for the girls, and another action figure for Jack. Also there was the final clue. It read:

Roses are red
Blue is the sky
You can find the hidden treasure
Where our clothes get dry

Their eyes lit up and they all ran to the laundry room. They opened the doors and didn't see anything. Jack opened the dryer and inside was a note that read:

Jackson, Elle and Macy,
Happy Valentine's Day!
We love you SOOOOO much!
xoxox, Mommy and Daddy

Along with that note, they each found a stuffed animal and heart shaped box of chocolates. They loved the scavenger hunt and asked if we could do that every Valentine's Day. I think we started a new tradition!

Later we have baseball tryouts for Jack - wish us luck!

Hope you are all enjoying your Valentine's Day with your sweeties!!
