Spend it with your significant other and your little valentine's and surprise your so another day when you can find someone to sit. Handwritten notes and cards from you and them would be heartwarming. Valentine's Day isn't the only day to show someone just how much you love and appreciate them.
Have your romantic evening at home, after the little ones are sleeping!
Have a romantic day with your other half, and the children, and after the kids are gone to bed.. spend it very nice with your other half..
Yesterday I took a class at church on how to respect your spouse. The pastor told a story about a man coming home from work....his wife made a candle light dinner for him...told him to go wash his hands and they would enjoy it together. When the man went to the bathroom to wash up the lights wouldn't go on. He asked what was wrong with the lights and her response to him was...I know you are working so hard but we didn't have enough this month to pay the electric bill. So tonight we eat by candle light. Rather getting angry she took a situation and made a moment out of it. So I think for us couples that have kids...and babysitters, nights out for dinners and theater aren't cut out in the budget it's still important for us to appreciate our spouses on Valentines day. We'll just have to have our moment alone after the kids go to bed. My family and I are making individual heart shaped pizza's. (Out of biscuit's) A DIY pizza bar so to speak. I haven't planned anything romantic after bed time yet. It may be something as simple as milk and cookies in bed together with a redbox flick.
I know it is not what you might find ideal, but the people who said to put the kids to bed and have a nice dinner at home are right. Remember, you have someone to spend it with. You are very lucky. I don't really mind being alone, but I might once my son is grown and out of the house.
Do some kind of themed dinner and maybe even get the kids involved by having them help make so kind of dessert for after dinner and that way it can make it some what cute and fun for everyone and then of course put the kids to bed early!! Lol
Either you have to plan something for a day that you are able to have the little ones watched or make your evening special by staying home. My brother and his wife celebrated this past week-end as it was the only time they were able to have my nephew watched by someone. They were able to take advantage of 2 whole days instead of just the one evening that way. As long as you are with the one you love it doesn't matter what day you celebrate, where you celebrate or even how. Just by cuddling on the couch and watching a movie together sometimes can be romantic enough!
