Yesterday was a work day. Brandon stayed at our friend Cheryl's in the morning and then went to the Stoke's around lunch. Susie forewarned me that he was a little upset that her boys were coming home from school with a bag full of valentines and candy. She did get them to share.... I guess I was a bad Momma and didn't prepare anything. So I told B that I would take him on a date out to eat... we got pizza. After a nice dinner with my son, we headed to the library for our weekly run. Non-story books that he wanted to get included something about electricity and trains (usually if he gets books he likes to get story books). After leaving he mentioned again that he wondered when he would get his valentine card.

I let him know that I didn't know (and felt bad). I did call his Dad while he was in the bathroom at dinner so that I could tell him on his way home to pick up something... which he did.

This morning we surprised B with a birthday present. Yesterday and this morning he was worried because his party isn't until Sunday and he didn't want to have to wait for presents. I'll try and sneak wrap one tonight to take to him too. Too bad I didn't bring the wrapping stuff to work. Maybe I'll look for something here to surprise him in the car.
