Better than chocolate

I did get some chocolate today. In a heart-shaped box, even. And it’s very nice, and all.

But I also got my kids giving my husband a card onto which they had recorded a “WE LOVE YOU OTTOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” message that prefaced a recording of “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge.

And then I got to disco-dance with my family while it played. (P.S. We are family, and we are also extremely bad dancers.)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Ah, good times. Now, I’ve got Sister Sledge stuck in my head. Not a bad thing, really. Unless, you are one of my kids. And Momma gets all jiggly with it :) Happy V-day!

    We are a mixed race family — one dance crazy and one dance avoider. I love the vision in my head of your fam-i-leeee, videos would be even better?

    That song just reminds me of the Birdcage. So now I’m picturing your whole family dressed up as drag queens.

    It sounds like you had a lovely day. I hope all the WCS readers had a great Valentine’s Day, too. I forgot to buy anything for the kids and we had to squeeze in a last-minute trip to Border’s during our Valentine’s date to get one card and one book for each of them.

    We had no chocolate on the actual day, though I bought a molten chocolate cake mix and a mocha brownie mix and promised to make them soon as a V-day gift for Partner. (I’d hoped to bake tomorrow but the day got crazy and I didn’t.) I also printed out the recipe for Monkey’s mint chocolate truffle b-day cake and promised to make that one, too, though the more I look at that recipe the more complicated it gets. I’m going to try it today. Tell me I can do it, Mir! I’m a moderately good baker.
