  The chocolate gun and ammo is hilarious. I have spent hours obsessing about which Valentine's the kids are going to do for school and zero minutes thinking about what to get DH. Oops.

  I ordered the kids' school valentine's so I can move on to our family now. I just went with foam airplanes from Oriental Trading Co and I'm going to add a tag off the back like a banner.

  That's awesome. Emma and Beckett are both going with a Star Wars theme.
  
  This is Beckett's, but we're doing Pixie sticks instead of glow sticks.
  
  We're doing candy bars for Emma's class and I think we're going to give home made crayons to Sawyer's class.
  
  
  Or I'll completely fuck up the home made crayons and give out boxes of crayons.

  @hmp1 I really like your chocolate gun and ammo idea!  My H wants a gun, but that's a no go for me, so I think this would be cute/funny.

  MH's been drinking a lot of tea, rather than coffee, lately, so I think I'm going to get him tea & honey.
  
  For the kids, no clue. Probably a small heart shaped box of Russell Stover. That's what my mom always got me growing up & they are still my favorite box of chocolate!

  All this talk of Valentines Day makes me feel like i am uber behind - do i need kids valentines for 2 year old's?   

  
  

  Do they start exchanging them at school/daycare already?  I think we missed the last two years as my kid is always sick on holidays.

  
  

  I am going to take the best idea from pintrest and call it my own

  My parents always did that too and still do! They did it for the kids last year with a little 4 piece box so I think I will let that be their thing.

  Here is the site. His wife has a kids clothing line that I like so that is how I found his company.

  We are going to punta cana 4 days after V-day so we decided we weren't exchanging gifts.  

  
  

  But, I'm thinking I'll buy new lingerie for the trip, so I'm counting that as my gift.  I just hate spending $ on it because I'm too lazy to wear that stuff on a regular basis.  #badwife

  
  

  I'm also a bad Mom because we traditionally haven't done anything for the boys for valentine's day.  My parents usually did something small (candy) and a card.  The boys get so much candy from school, that I don't like doing more, and I'm sort of over gifts right now.  Maybe I'll get them each a book...

  I haven't thought of a single thing for DH but I'm not sure if we're exchanging gifts. We're in the thick of the kitchen remodel and possible new car.

  I already got DS a doctor kit since he plays with one so much at my parents house and I got him 2 "love" related books. I need to order the personalized one from Groupon too. And we'll get him a  piece of candy I'm sure.

  Ditto.  A BJ and he'll be all good.

  I was thinking of trying the crayons too. Good luck to both of us! Either that or one of the stuffed animal lots from OT. We'll see how lazy I'm feeling.

  DH is going to be on Navy orders over V-day, so I haven't planned anything.  I'll probably spam his email with funny V-day cartoons and e-cards, but that's it.  Whenever we say "Oh, we'll celebrate XYZ (COUGH my birthday COUGH) when I get back" it doesn't happen or it's rushed and lame.  It's better to just skip it.

  
  

  I need to come up with something cute for DD to take in for her class--maybe "Lots of Fish in the Sea" goldfish cracker packs or "Stuck on You" sticker packs...dunno.  I have time to think

  I ordered a bunch of different flavored applesauce "go-go squeezes" and will attach a heart and that says "You're my main squeeze!" Love, Carter - for all his daycare friends and cousins.

  DH will most likely get a card. Super special.
