VD Weekend

I have to take a cue from my SIL, who thinks it's funny to refer to Valentine's Day as "VD". You can read why here.

Here's a photo recap of the events that led up to Valentine's Day for the Haskamps:


These chocolate-covered strawberries were delivered to school on Friday. Let me tell you why this is the BEST V-Day gift ever. 1: It's food. 2: You get to EAT it. 3: You don't have to water it. 4: You can share it with other people. 5: It's food.






These are pics from my cousin's girlfriend's 40th birthday celebration. We started out with breakfast at the Corner Cafe (yum), and then went to Cockrell Mercantile near LS. Note the hot girls modeling the kitchen aprons. Note also how uncomfortable they look in the kitchen aprons.




While I was busy doing "girl" things, Ben was enjoying the day with his brother Spencer and Spencer's son Logan at the KC Auto Show. Here they are getting ready to enjoy a big fat greasy pizza after their long day of....whatever it is that guys do.



We spent our actual V-Day going to church, eating lunch at Chil.i's, going to see the movie Valentine's Day, doing a little shopping, eating a hella ton of leftovers from the weekend, and playing goofy games, like seeing who could stack Jen.ga tiles all the way from our kitchen table to the light. Ben won.


All in all, it was a GREAT weekend. I believe it's really hard NOT to enjoy such a holiday, as there is always someone who loves you and always someone to love. And when someone who loves you has great big blue eyes, eyelashes that could double as weapons, and a really cute butt, You really can't complain.

HOLLA -
