Best Valentine’s Day Ever

One way to get out of having to take your wife on an expensive dinner and date is to spend Valentine’s Day taking care of of a sick little girl while you’re very sick wife sleeps all day after puking all night.

I wouldn’t advise this approach, in case you were wondering.  I’m exhausted and have spent most of the day wondering if my stomach feels weird because I’m getting sick or because I’m worried I’m going to get sick.

One good thing about today was the treasure hunt I set up for the kids last night.  I cut out hearts and wrote clues on them.  I hid them with treat bags and small gifts.  The kids went on an hour long search around the house finding the treasures.  We had a blast!

Later, at bet time, Braden asked me why I got them the treats and toys and I told him because it was Valentines Day and that I loved him very much.  He thought about that for a minute and threw his arms around me and said “You’re the best Dad ever!” 

So, as it turns out… it was the best Valentine’s Day ever after all!
