For a change of pace, I decided to catch my children off-guard with being festive this year. All it took was sending everyone an “adorable” Valentine’s app and a lot of Splenda packets to conjure up the sweetness in our lives for a day. At least that’s what I thought. Guess they don’t call them Conversation Candy for nothing! Have a look . . .

(Okay so JUST ONE TIME on Valentine’s Day, I decided their gift to me should be dusting the entire house — and my gift to them would be hiding pennies to reward the dusting. This anecdote will now be told at my funeral.)

Sick of this son’s smart retorts, I send a heart to his twin brother with a love greeting . . .

Desserts backwards = Stressed. Of course! And look — this time playing Scramble was HIS idea. At least this confirms I’m with the right guy.
Hope your Valentine’s Day is a little more on task than ours! And now excuse me while I eat my own words…and they taste like Pepto Bismol chalk!
