Udate from Valentines Day

I know this is like months behind, but I always meant to post about our special Valentines day surprise from Samantha. She spend weeks planning a breakfast for Scott and I. The night before Valentines she kept sighing and I asked her what was wrong and she said, " I'm just stressed out, I just have so much to do. " I had to silently laugh---those are words I know she has heard me say-- I offered to help her, but she insisted that it was a surprise and that she was going to do it all on her own. She even told Scott at one point, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Valentines Day, I have got it all planned." So at 6:00 a.m. she comes into our room and has set up a "scavenger hunt" for me. She leads me on it and I read all her clues and they lead me to my present. Hand-made earrings, BY: Samantha. She had even gotten real earring hooks from her school teacher. Sam had crafted the rest of the jewelry from an old, but colorful coupon to Maurices.

I wore them to whole day, of course. Scott and I had even gone shopping to I.F. that day & I got quite a lot of attention from people in the stores. The earrings are fairly large, but very light. I got a lot of smiles and knowing looks from other Mom's, who have donned kid-made jewelry!! I felt very special. Thanks Sam. You are the sweetest.

Then at 6:45 a.m. Scott and I found ourselves sitting downstairs in the T.V. room for breakfast and a show! Sam put on "Wall-E" for us to watch while she made us breakfast! We even had a menu of options to choose from. Drinks: milk, water, strawberry milk, chocolate milk, and pop; then we could choose from: fruit loops, raisin bran, or rice crispies; then there was even dessert offered: candy, suckers, (one I can't read or remember what she said it was) and then a "Special Mystery"---which ended up being warm bread with honey on it!

We ordered, and she made all the food by herself and carried down the stairs to us. Which made me a little nervous (My carpet) but she did fine. We ate breakfast together EARLY that Valentines morning and we truly felt LOVE.
