Quick V-day note that may help

[Vick]

For those of us with small children
If you have to pick them up this afternoon
Stop at a grocery market or somewhere Roses/Flowers aren't going for $75+ per dozen and .....

... pick up something from the little one to give to the mate

Gets points all the way around

[SykkBoy]

this is something we always do with our kids

we have them make cards and they get to purchase a few little things...it gets them involved in the Holiday

We generally do lunch with the kids, then a nice dinner for ourselves, so they get to go out and have fun and we can have a quiet evening out without the kids...
