Valentine's Eve

I've been baking pink cupcakes and laying out treats for my children. my husband torments me, says I go to far - but the crinkle around his eyes tell me he is just as proud of the spoils as I am. I live for their smiles, and if a forty dollar spree at the discount store makes this morning magical for them, then I am in. I'm all about magic for my kids. There is so much drudgery they have to put up with, so many don'ts and no's and hurry-ups. I don't think gifts and things are the way to fill the void, but 2 dozen pink cupcakes to proudly tote to school tomorrow is a little way to help.
