husband homecoming & v-day surprises

andrew got back from skiing on sunday night & walked in looking ridiculous, as seen here:

notice the monkey-handle chops?  apparently, no one really questioned or stared at him at heavenly.  gross.

jack didn't seem to mind.

other than that, i've been sick with the flu for the past 24 hours, which put a damper on v-day celebrations.  we didn't have big plans, but andrew made an amazing pasta dinner & we traded gifts.  i got him tickets to explore the "body works exhibit" that's currently up at the tech museum & the sf academy of sciences.  (okay, so i got it for both of us...).  he got me a huge talking balloon, chocolates, a diet coke (he thought this would help with my flu symptoms), & made dinner.  jack was totally intrigued, scared of, & fascinated by andrew's balloon choice:

at first, he was running & trying to sneak attack on it from different angles.  it talks, so barking was a given.

the last ditch effort was using andrew as a shield -- can you find him?
overall, we had a nice evening as a family, which is better than the whole cheesy night out around here -- i saw too many sparkly hearts & pre-determined valentine's day menus for my taste. 

the last surprise of the night was from talia & gus -- a sweet dog bone card.  jack had an interesting time trying to bite into it & finally figured it out, but it was hard to watch!

like i said, hard to watch!
i hope you all had a lovely day!
