After dropping off Sunni for school at 12:45 Eric and I started our V-Day plans!
We started off by picking up the BASKIN ROBBINS ice cream CAKE the we had ordered. We took the YUMMY treat home and put it in the freezer for later ENJOYMENT.(Chocolate cake with chocolate chip ice cream... YUM-O!!).
We then headed to the store to buy 3 huge Valentine balloons for the kids.
We wrapped a few GIFTS from "CUPID" (The game OPERATION a NERF dart game and a Collectible MY MELODY Barbie )
I picked the kids up from school with gift bags, balloons and carnations for Sunni in hand. (I didn't think the boys would approve of flowers from Mommy in front of their "buddies"). I felt weird because I felt like the only Mom bearing gifts.. The gift bags contained (of course): candy, a card and some small dollar gifts. Glow in the dark teeth ( a hint to what was to come ahead) some flying balloons and some love potion bottles filled with (candy). Also some "Love Notes" that were edible. I wish I had a camera ready for the look on each of their faces. It wasn't a "Mom, I'm going to kill you for embarrassing me in front of my friends" look but more of a "I cannot believe you did this for...me?? Awwww my heart melted from the HUGE hugs I received that day. I wish Eric could have been there to share in the JOY!
Saturday February 14th, 2009
The day started off with Daddy making the family breakfast. Waffles, eggs and sausage YUM!!
(*The kids still had no idea what was in store for the day. Eric and I had kept it all a secret.*)
The day was kinda muggy after the rainfall on Friday but, that did not dampen our spirits! Off to our first adventure. We went to the local craft store and picked out some crafts to work with on Sunday! For Michael some wooden letters spelling R.O.C.K. and a small wooden treasure box with engraved stars to stain/paint and then place his collectible guitar picks in. For Joey a large star shaped box to paint. And for Sunni an 8x10 canvas that Mommy (me) promises to draw a ballet Hello Kitty for Sunni to paint and hand on her wall.
Next was lunch a munch at the kids' first Las Vegas buffet!!! RED ROCK STATION CASINO!
Michael was actually BRAVE enough to try the Sushi (with chopsticks of course). First time EVER. And he really liked it!After eating at the buffet we we COSMIC BOWLING at Texas Station Casino! We had a BLAST. Even Sunni decided to become a bowling pro by getting the FIRST SPARE!
When the lights go out the DJ comes on and the madness starts. It was SO MUCH FUN! It also helped that I got the FIRST strike..heehee Sunni had a SUPER DOOPER good time and loved the attention and high fives!
After two sets of 10 we were worn out!

To end our night we took the kids to F.A.O. SCHWARZ. They were allowed to get ONE toy each. Three levels and after looking at over a 100 different toys Sunni and Joey FINALLY decided to make their FINAL decision.
Here was Sunni choice. It's called Kitchen Littles. (Barbie size and full of detail) You can find the whole sets here. http://www.kitchenlittles.com/
Sunni decided to get the "Baking Set" along with her collection of Madam Alexander Dolls she has decided to collect these little cuties.
"What is a Munny?"
That was my question when Joey decided to get this little buddy as his Valentines gift. Joey came home with this "doll" from F.A.O. Schwarz. Apparently decorating these vinyl toys has become a pop culture phenomenon, of which my husband and I were completely clueless. I think we even saw them at Urban Outfitters! If you google these little characters you will see the HUGE array of design concepts kids and adults come up with. It amazes me to no end. Joey has decided that this is now going to be the start of his "collection". He is the little "Artist" of the family. He gets it from "cough his mom cough"...They come in blue, pink, white and glow in the dark. They range from tiny to 18". I have seen these sold on eBay for upwards of $600.00 depending on the designer. I will post a picture of Joey's final design (once he has finished it). I told him to make sure and take his time. This may turn into a monthly family project as well. Who knows?

What did Michael get you ask? Well, since Michael no longer plays with toys (his words) he decided on the logical choice to impress the "ladies". "I want some new clothes Mom". So he got some cool Holster shirts and some Element shirts instead...He's no fun...lol
And that was our Valentines 3-Day weekend. We hope to take up bowling as a monthly activity to add to our family fun list. It was truly a BLAST! Now if I could only get back into roller skating. Ahhhh I really do miss those day!
Health, Peace, and happiness family!
Love,
The Hoffmans
