What are your plans for Valentine's Day?

**mombottoo** · 02-09-2013, 09:39 AM

We are heading up north to the casino to spend a couple of nights

. While I'm there I'll get some gift shop comps and start my Christmas shopping. I'm looking forward to doing some gambling and getting some much needed relaxation! The suite for two nights and all of our food is comped so other than gambling money we are good to go...

Nothing on the day except help dd give out her Valentines. I bought a few little things for the kids. The monday after dh and I are going to try to use our gift card for a Japanese steak house.

Awesome MB.When Ds was picked up from Northern we overnighted next to one and down the street from the other. We got free chips. But Ds wasnt old enough.The place had free breakfast w/ a waffle bar and that-frugal!

We prob. arent going anywhere. I got choc. for everyone. Big lots had Russel Stover and it was 20% off day. I bought oreos to dip too but they were found already.

I picked up a couple of stocking-stuffer sourpatch novelty boxes after Christmas (they are shaped like a sourpatch.) I'm going to hot-glue a ribbon rose in their hands and those are for the girls. Hubs usually gets a Reese's heart. The teachers will get red heart-shaped boxes I picked up from SA on 1/price day a few months ago filled with red Hershey hugs and kisses (1/2 price from Christmas) At school, the girls will give out Valentines I bought on clearance last year, though we may end up needing to pick up some extras.

It's "Bring your parent for lunch" day at DD9's school, so I'll be doing that, and we'll either pack or do Subway BOGO (entertainment book.) DD5 was jealous of this, so I'll be coming to lunch at HER school on Tuesday and we'll be having fried chicken on the Popeye's Tuesday special (hey, it's Fat Tuesday, after all!)

For dinner that night we're doing "In-back" because Outback will be wayyyy too crowded (and expensive.) So we're having homemade knock-offs of the things we would order there. I'll save a little bit of bacon from our Pancake Tuesday dinner for bacon-cheese fries. We'll do steaks from the freezer and I picked up two lobster tails for $8.75 on Valentine special minus a coupon. A long time ago I found a decent knock-off recipe for the bread there online, so I'm going to try to track that down again. Hubs will have a baked potato from the pantry and the girls and I will have mashed sweet potatoes from the freezer along with some broccoli. (weird, but true, the kids LOVE broccoli...)

For dessert I'm planning on melting the last of the leftover christmas plain chocolate and picking up some strawberries to dip.

We don't usually do much since our anniversary is a few days later and we always celebrate it. This year we will be in the Bahamas for our 20th.

I got my kids candy and tickets to go paintball.

OldMan will be working, and has no idea what time he will be home. Hard to plan around that.

I am making him red velvet cookies (his fav) and tucking a few in his lunch. Diva isn't much of a candy eater, but she does like the cowtails, so I got her a few of those.

Picking up DSS in the afternoon, he will be spending a few days with us. I will not have time to cook tomorrow...busy day with appointments. I will be running out later today to get a few treats for everyone and maybe do a casserole type thing to put in the oven after last appointment tomorrow.

**larabelle** · 02-13-2013, 05:30 PM

I am working so nothing special.......I will be the day after scouring the sale racks for all of the deeply discounted chocolates.

**ARCMOMMY** · 02-13-2013, 05:50 PM
