We (Roberta and I) didn’t do anything special for each other for Valentine’s Day. Abby had a lot of preparation, though. They had a valentine party at school, and there was entirely too much candy exchanged in addition to both prefab and custom valentine cards. When do kids lose interest in this practice?
After dinner we watched The Princess Bride, which seemed appropraite for being a romantic comedy. Abby enjoyed the movie, I think, but Riley (who we put to bed just after the movie started) and I (who was laying on the livingroom floor) fell asleep before the end. The girls made heart-shaped decorated cookies late into the night, and I think Abby went to bed around 11pm, which is much too late for her. But the cookies look tasty.
Our dinner was the special surpise for the evening. Those guys at Bravo across town where we get our pizza sure are an interesting bunch. I don’t think there are any restaurants around with that much character. Salud!
