Valentine's Day Win....Then Fail.....Then Win!!

So Hunter asked me last night if he could make a Valentine's breakfast for everyone. Ummmm took me like negative .5 seconds to say yes to that!! Then he tells me that he is going to set his alarm for 4:30 so he can get up and make some for Kiersten as well. She leaves around 6:00 in the morning for her zero hour college class. 

Seriously what a sweetheart!! 

 

Hunter does just that. Gets up at 4:30. Starts making breakfast and around 5:20 Kiersten comes in to the kitchen, comments on how good it smells and how cute it looks. Then she proceeds to get a yogurt from the fridge and eat that. 

Hunter said nothing to her as she started to eat her yogurt.

I get up at 6:00, take Kiersten to school and get back home to a sad little 13 year old boy who is heartbroken that his sister wouldn't eat the amazing Valentine's breakfast he got up so early in the morning to make sure she had. 

 

Seriously look at how awesome this breakfast is!!!  How man 13 year old boys do you know that do this kind of stuff?!?

I ask Hunter if he actually told Kiersten that the breakfast was for her too. 

To which he replies, "no, but she should have known. Why else would I be awake so early making it?"

Knowing Kiersten I then knew that she would have happily eaten the Valentine breakfast had she known it was for her. I sent her a text asking her why she didn't eat The breakfast Hunter made. Once she got out of her zero hour class she called me. 

She was confused and had no idea it was for her too. She assumed Hunter was make breakfast for Justin and myself. 

 

A few hours later I get a text from Kiersten asking if I can come get her at lunch time so she can go buy Hunter a Valentine surprise to say she is sorry!  She made him a cute card during student counsil. 

 

When we got back to school Kiersten took Hunter his gift and apologized. Hunter was in welding and Mrs. Hancock asked what the story behind all this was. 

 

He was so impressed with these two that he insisted on taking pictures of them so he could show his wife (who is also a teacher). 

So these two learned a very valuable lesson this Valentine's Day. The value of good communication!!

I love these kids of mine!!

Happy Valentine's Day!
