Valentine's Day to the parents of 3

What exactly does Valentine's mean to a mother and father of 3? It means waking up at 6:00am, and while changing diapers, looking at each other and mumbling something along the lines of "Happy Valen--oh that one smells--tines Day." It means going to work for a couple of hours because you need the money to support healthy appetites, and chopping firewood all day long with Papa to keep the house heated. It means going out to dinner, with the kids, and barely taking a bite of your own food because Thomas is climbing out the highchair, Lucas is throwing his spoon and Kevin is wandering over to the stranger at the other table because he has noticed she has Mickey Mouse on her coat.

In summary, Valentine's Day to the parents of 3 means having more love in your life than you could ever imagine, and doing anything to protect that love. It means being blessed with more happiness and joy in your heart than you ever thought imaginable. It means getting to wake up day after day to the wonderous feeling that your life and soul is complete, not just by your partner, but by your wonderful kids!

Trust me, I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!!
