I&#8217;ve been so behind the game this week, our entire family somehow got a terrible stomach flu, within hours of each other and it&#8217;s been a mean one. The last 12-24 hours have been a romantic dance of changing sheets, changing clothes, filling waters, emptying buckets, washing towels, disinfecting the car, washing car seats, <!--more-->disinfecting the house, not to mention managing my own personal symptoms! We haven&#8217;t had anything like this before, but have heard the stories; I guess we have our own now!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6201\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_1370.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_1370\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6202\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_1371.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_1371\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6150\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/9e4c36fe-9611-47c1-ac2b-dc8a50173354.jpg\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6151\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/96a2be6e-9f59-48eb-afbc-39ff35844c5e.jpg\" width=\"2304\" height=\"4096\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/f4c9b869-4af6-4928-969b-65710f928696-1.jpg\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the week was dedicated to fixing a tire that I blew on the freeway, or better yet a rock that did us in. Majorly exciting, I know. We spent multiple hours waiting our turn at the dealership, then coming up empty there, then to the tire store, working with claims to get the tire paid for (it&#8217;s practically new), and then waiting for the tire to arrive (it hasn&#8217;t yet!). Any of this sound like a week you&#8217;ve had? Solidarity, my friends, I stand with you!

And I wish I could indulge in a little chocolate with them today! But that&#8217;s definitely going to have to wait.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t always love celebrating Valentine&#8217;s Day, maybe the pressure of it, but as the years go on, I get on board with celebrating love\u2014and thought Galentines&#8217; was a welcome addition to the whole genre! \u2764\ufe0f We found a few little things to give the kids today (bouncy ball, hot wheel and some licorice and hedgehog cookies from Trader Joe&#8217;s) and Luke had a Valentine exchange earlier in the week. Anyhow, a bizarre week for us but hope you&#8217;re enjoying yours. The rain has been a nice backdrop for rest and we&#8217;re supposed to have it all day today. Happy love day to you!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6148\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/de538754-f625-4562-873a-5a1ff440bd6a.jpg\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6146\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/6598d61f-1e26-4390-97cc-f8fb06dfbc11.jpg\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6152\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/b6c07aad-571e-4b44-9962-846af55c55ab.jpg\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6149\" src=\"https:\/\/themrscaseyann.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/829f719d-5995-4378-8471-5a888a535972.jpg\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day!!
