la la la love day.

ours was pretty low key, as we are all getting over colds. 
but we like to keep valentine's day pretty low key anyway.

i tried desperately to get a picture of finn sitting or standing nicely with a very cute quilted heart pillow that i found at the antique store, and some blocks i arranged to say "be mine".

i literally drew blood trying to get this picture.
(i stubbed my toe on a nail sticking out of the floor boards while i was lunging forward to stop his hand from destroying everything.)

must destroy.

finn obviously doesn't understand that blocks are not for playing with, they are only for photography props, and chairs are not for chewing on or climbing, they are only to rest your elbow lightly against whilst your fist is placed ever so gently under your perfectly tilted chin.
is this concept so hard to grasp?
clearly he's behind.

billy and i both vowed no valentine's day gifts, only handmade cards. 
but then we both forgot to make handmade cards.
so we decided to just open a nice bottle of wine we'd been saving, and i made eggplant parm for dinner. 

does this necklace hide my mom frump?

you is pretty and i eat you.

billy was devastated.

everything was delicious, and billy did the dishes while i kept drinking wine. 

in other words, our valentine's day was perfect.

hope yours was too! <3
