Happy Valentines day 2 days ago

Happy Valentines day. Isn't my Valentine just the cutest?
Brad took the boys to pick out my some Valentines cards for me. (I also told Brods to get me some chocolates. Hint. Hint.) Brody decided on this card. He wanted to get one of bunnies "snuggling". Only......they weren't snuggling if you know what I mean. So, he choose this "cute puppy one instead. Look at his ears Momma.....aren't they cute!"The card below is from Hank. It reads "Valentine if loving you is a crime....then throw my ass in jail." Obviously he can't read, so he just choose this because of the cute donkey. Best Valentine EVER!

This is Hankie's Valentine from his daddy. It is a ball/race track type game. It's a Hank game. He was in love!

The boys each got little gumball machines and some chocolates. I love spoiling them on Valentines day!

This is Brody's Valentine from his dad. Nothing says "I love you" like a machine gun.

My little lovers came home with these flowers for me. LOVE. THESE. KIDS!

Valentines day was just what a momma wants. A nice relaxing night with the hubs and kids. The kids watched a movie and this is what I overheard. Hank was getting his p.j's on and was afraid that Brody would start the movie without him. Hank yelled for Brody to wait and Brody said

"Hank....I'm your buddy. I would never do that to you! Of course I'll wait for you."

xoxoxo

Tonight when I got home from yoga I asked Brad if "all was clear to wrap kids Valentines?" He said "nope." I gave him the why aren't they asleep, they have school in the morning and they are going to be a bunch of raging psychos look. He said "here's why." And showed me this pic.

Hank climbed into B's bed and they were reading books. Cute. Super cute.

I am off pinterest long enough to blog. And that's it.

Tragedy struck our house last night. See the above pic? Now look close. Hank has been carrying around these 3 items for about five weeks. He comes out of his bedroom in the a.m. fully dressed (shirt/windpants/commando) with his belt on his waist. Duh! Windpants don't have belt loops. He then tucks his gun and sword in his belt and he's good to go. On school days he just wears the belt and then adds the weapons once we are out of the 200ft. "weapon free" zone of school. Now, both the gun and sword are dollar store toys. Dollar store toys last about 94 seconds if your lucky. These toys have slayed dragons, cut up mountain lions, sliced bad ninja's in half, and defeated Darth Vader. Notice all the tape on both? Well, that tape only lasts so long people. And last night was the so long. The orange gun fell on the tile and I heard a gasp followed by sobs....So, what does a mother do when her son is broken hearted over his broken weapons? See below.
She takes them to the dollar store and buys them crazy, why on earth are these made for kids, I'm going to regret this decision in about 10 minutes swords. Yeah, I'm that awesome.

Other than the broken dollar store weapon, things have been good at the Kow house. We sold our Escalade, so I can go on a Briar house shopping spree. Oh...how I wish. But, we really did sell our Escalade. Yeah! Real Housewives of Orange County is back, so that makes me happy as a bird with a french fry. Weather has been freaky awesome. Sunny and warm. So, we've spent lots of time outside soaking up some vit. D. And we are getting ready to go on vacation.....can't wait!!!!!!!

Today I overheard this conversation:

Hank "Brody....did you know there's a time-out chair at school?"

Brody "no, have you been in it?"

Hank "NO!"

Brody "well, there's still time."

ahhhh....brotherly love.
