my olson family

michael and i keep valentine's day pretty low key

but still try to make it special for each other and the kids

he was really sweet and took the garbage out 

first thing this morning

(very unlike him)

as an excuse to go outside and bring me the roses he had in the car

i took him cookies and left them on the seat of his car

while he was in class

then while i took hazel to ballet, he and noah cleaned the house

on our date, we bought each of the kids a special surprise

that we gave to them when we picked them up 

after we went out to a nice dinner

i love my valentine(s)
