It's nice, to have no one to worry about creating Valentine's Day meaningfulness for, to have no one to wish for Valentine's Day meaningfulness from or worry about them getting it right. The right flowers, the right little poems. A relief, at this stage. Though the kids card are gorgeous - Bodhi: they're LoveBugs!!
 Olivia: I did it all myself, Jamie only helped me with the sparkles!

But Axel started getting Olivia little primroses, and a card from her secret admirer, when she was old enough to appreciate them, so we do that. And it's cute. I was the Last Man Standing this weekend, so I did a quick supermarket sweep - Narcissi in little pots in bud, cards, Lindt mini eggs (which are supremely gorgeous, imho).

I left them to a recovering Axel to organise while I busted ass in another correcting marathon and this morning, Bodhi came down to a card, flowers, with all little eggs encircling the bottom of the pot. I had to briefly remove Olivia's because I noticed he'd eaten his and started on hers. I couldn't blame him, they are fucking gorgeous.

Olivia staggered in, all sore throat (yes, she got it too :() and saw them, and said, 'Oh, cool!' in happy tones. She's chilling out more at the moment. And appreciating the fact that she has a secret-admirer Dad, I'm happy to say.
