First thing is first, Phil and I DO NOT celebrate Valentines Day. I have never been a big fan of it, plus I personally feel that once you are married your anniversary is your "new" Valentines day, but anyway... This past week at our house has been a living nightmare, at least at night time. It seems that the kids are fine during the day and then in the middle of the night all Heck breaks loose and we are up at wee hours with crying kids and medicating them all. So, in the last 4 nights Phil and I combined have gotten roughly 16 hours of sleep. Needless to say, we are functioning like zombies. Last night was no different. Everyone was in bed and asleep by 9:45 (that is a record for us), but 1:30 rolls around and Kyson is up hungry and crying. I fed him and laid him down, only to have him wake up 5 minutes later screaming. Around 3:00 Phil came out took him and rocked him back to sleep. Then at 4:30 Jaycee wakes up crying complaining her ear hurts. Her crying wakes Kyson back up and I spent the rest of the night in the recliner trying to soothe him back to sleep. I have just about had it and want to give some kids away. Then my valentines present came. My husband was so nice, he called his work and told him he would be late. He got our driveway shoveled and Gavin to school. Then he came home picked Jaycee, Kyson, and me up, dropped Jace off at school ran my errands with me so I didn't have to get Kyson out and then went to work. It was such a lifesaver and I couldn't ask for a better gift. It is silly how small simplistic acts of service and love are the ones most cherished. To my awesome hubby, THANK YOU a bazillion times over I LOVE YOU TO DEATH.

God bless husbands! It's times like that that make up for all the stupid things they do! Atleast that's what does it for me!!
How sweet. We need those special days to remind us of why we married them..haha. No, it's best when you least expect it, and they surprise you with something so sweet, not big, just endearing.
Ummm, Where did Phillip go and who is the new guy living in your house? HA HA HA!!! Just kidding. I always knew Phillip would be a fabulous husband and father. It's just nice to hear that he is living up to his expectations! Miss you guys! Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!!!
What a great guy! Not only was it graet that he did all of that for you, but I think it is so great that you let him know how much it meant to you!
Wow...Phil may not be a very good friend, but at least he's a good husband. Actually.. I think he's a good friend to those his is friends with... and it is an odd year....
Anyway, HAPPY VALENTINE'S day... :)
