Fondue Party

Have you ever noticed that when you do something one year your kids can dub it a "tradition" by the next year. That's what happened last night. As I was tucking the kids in bed each one whispered in my ear about how excited they were about Valentines Day tomorrow and that they couldn't wait to see what the big surprise from Dad and I would be.

Hmmmm..... Surprise..... For tomorrow.... Right.

In years past it has been heart attacking their rooms, sending flowers or balloons to school, or filling their bedrooms with 100's of pink and red balloons. But this year I thought I would just take a break. Honestly I didn't have anything planned and I didn't really think they would notice. Boy was I wrong.

So after everyone was in bed, and now knowing their expectations, I got to work. I made each one of them an invitation to a Valentines fondue party to be held when they arrived home from school. Then while they were at school I was able to set this up for a little Valentines Day Surprise.

They had a lot of fun and it seems like I passed for this year anyway...Until next year :)
