Valentines Day

Valentines Day started off rocky with sicky little Callan. Poor baby started throwing up the night before and continued every 20- 40 minutes until 6:30 am.
It was such an exhausting and terrifying night. I have never had a baby or a child for that matter throw up so much and often.
Luckily he slept a lot that morning so it allowed me to try to make
it special for the other two.

OUR BRUNCH 
 (it was supposed to be breakfast but obviously I was a few hours late pulling it off, but with no church for us that day due to little sicky boy it wasn't a big deal)
The REAL highlight was treating the boys to one of Cam's signature treasure hunts. I have been a recipient of such an event often, especially when we were dating. But as most wife's can attest those cutesy things done early on in a relationship usually die off over the years. So it's always fun when they surface again.

We started with Mackguire's clues
Hey buddy, I miss you                    Ha ha Tricked you!
To find your present,                 But I'm not being mean
you must play along...              and sorry for the quandry
Look in the palce where                   But look for me in the cupboards
         you find words for a church song.      behind where you put your dirty laundry
            
BAKUGAN! 
Then it was Creed's turn
Hey Buddy I miss you!                            Ha Ha Tricked you!
                   There is a present for you                 Well, this fun little game                   
but it must be found                                  could last for a week...
Maybe start with watching                        but, you better look in
     "The Fox and the Hound"                        "Grandma's room", in the closet
                                                                Think "Lil Bow Chic"

More BAKUGAN!


On to Callan's
Hey Buddy  I miss you!                          Ha! Ha! Tricked you
 I don't want this                                I know this game you
game to belabor your lunch...                 probably can't stand
so go look in the place                           So check "Grandma's room"
where you'd find a hole punch                start with the night stand

 Every boy spent a significant amount of time playing with Callan's present.
Who knew that little bug shaped cars would be such a hit??
So sorry there isn't a  picture because I had a hard time
prying them from all the little fingers.

Then it was my turn...for some reason I can't find my intial clue that led me to my
quilting bin to get this:
Okay so maybe this isn't so hot
You can take it back if
you think not.
Sorry for being such a slouch
Look behind and underneath the couch!

This is where I found this little piece of eye candy

I'm so sorry I can't be here with you
So, (HUBBA, HUBBA)...This will have to do.
Happy Valentines Day!
I Love You!

BAWHAHA!!
Cam thinks he is such a comedian. ☺☺

(I was secretly hoping that somehow he was able to get a hunky poster of himself.
Now that would be something worth lusting over!)

Really the funniest thing about this whole scavenger hunt was that
 I had already found my book twice (once while Cam was still home,
he re-hid it and had to write a new clue, the other time was after he left.) 
I found Creeds one day while making hats.
However, the prize goes to Callan we actually caught him one day playing with his on the floor. He kept finding his over and over.
 I would have to keep putting it back. He was too anxious to play with it.
Luckily though I never read the note in my book so my poster was a true surprise.
