I've got DH a card and will probably make a bit of an effort with breakfast It's a long weekend here so we've got lots of plans for spoiling ourselves this weekend too but not particularly related to Valentine's Day.
I not a big fan of all the commercial side of it BUT I do love an excuse to be a bit more romantic. DH and I do nice things for each other fairly often but it's always nice to be reminded IMO. ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

TBH we celebrated it the first year we were together with the usual movies, chocolate, flowers, dinner but haven't done anything since!! I get him a card but dp usually forgets lol
This year though he's taking me to dinner and a movie which will be nice I guess  he just randomly mentioned it this morning and said something nice before bubs comes!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We are going to a wedding this year so we get an afternoon and dinner without the girls - perfect!
We normally don't do much for it at all as our wedding anniversary is a few days later. If we do anything its something simple like dinner at home after the girls are in bed with a few candles and desert, or one year we left little love hearts around the house with little messages on them. I think I would get angry if DH spent money on it for no reason. -------------

| We are not doing anything, DH will either be playing cricket or we HAVE to go to a BBQ at my inlaws place (would rather not do that any day let alone on valentines day) I will probably make DH a card and bake him a yummy cake or biscuits. |

Working (HOORAY!)
But Dh bought me a bath valentine present (bath pillow, salts that kinda stuff) that was delievered today which was nice because we don't normally do anything. Mainly because he spends too much time browsing those one day deals websites and found it and decided to get it for me, so thanks whoever posted that link on here. 
oh and I bought him a CD that we wanted ------------- http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

| yeah neither of us really believe in it either. and DPs bday is on the 23rd.... and DP gives me flowers or chocolates every month on our "monthly" anniversary which is the 16th... (so adorable... he once hiked up stuart st (dunedin) in the 4 inch snow when they closed it down middle of winter with a bunch of flowers in his backpack to see me lol) actually interesting piece of trivia... we only started dating in April last year.... so bubs will be here before we have even been dating for a year.... but hes really excited so yay! |

but Bubie on the pressie front..... (sorry got sidetracked lol) maybe if you found a nice pic of just you 2, got it blown up and framed...? is there anything "non father-like" that he has been wanting? maybe a new game (if he has some kind of gaming system... ps2/3, xbox, nintendo etc) does he read? could get a book he has been looking at? crafty...? could get some paint canvases or something... maybe a picture of him and his family? (obviously you and soon-to-be Riley are his family... but I mean maybe an old school photo of him, mum, dad and siblings) printed on a canvas block? "first famly photo" of you and him and the preggy belly...? (maybe a sneaky one from a recent event or something?) maybe his folks have something from his childhood that he forgot, that you could give back to him that he might one day want to pass down to Riley?

Hello I got proposed to in Queenstown 4 years ago, the week after Valentines (cause it was my birthday). We had a special day on the Shotover, Gondola, and then went to a divine little authentic Japanese restaurant before going to the beach where he got down on one knee and proposed! So after that ranting, I recommend the authentic Japanese restaurant - but don't ask me the name of it LOL! We had just been to Japan so it was divine to find somewhere run by real Japanese owners and chefs. |

Oh - and my Valentines Day will consist of getting some spermies as Ov is about to occur, and probably having a romantic dinner at home with wine and candles. We aren't doing cards or pressies this year as we are in the throws of starting to build our flash dream house in the country! So we are saving saving saving!

I gave DH a packet of Hershey's kisses, and he shared them with me Other than that we have just been having a normal Sunday.
We would have gone to the movies or something if we could get a babysitter, but all our friends in Dunedin must have Valentines Day plans ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

We ended up with a power cut for 8 hours (planned one), and did nothing much. Sat out side with the neighbours for 2 hours having drinks so that was fun. DH has to work now and I am at home with the birthday boy. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
