Ma'gun

So....who remembered it was Valentines day first this morning? You or your hubby? This is always a little game we play. Who remembers first? I did this morning. I was in the bathroom doing my hair(and Emmas & Gracies & Micah's...) when it hit me. Yes! I got him! I ran in, kissed him on the cheek and wished him a HVD, he slapped his leg and admitted defeat. Then we both looked at each other and said "What did you get me?" Jokingly, of course.

I am not one that expects a gift or throws a hissy fit when my man doesn't spoil me. There is nothing worse than your woman throwing a fit because she thinks too highly of herself. I was there, that is how I know! I ruined many special days by throwing pity parties. The last thing I want is to pass that onto my daughters.


After everyone heard us talking about it, it spurred the realization for the children. The kitchen was full of gushy pandemonium as everyone was making sure they hugged and kissed and wished HVD to each sibling and parent(that's 72 combinations fyi)....making us 5 more minutes late for church .

Ma'Gun

My man isn't a romantic, at least when it comes to Valentines Day. He doesn't like being forced into buying me a gift or even a card when he can just say what he wants to say and get it done. He does treat me extra special for the day, that is nice. ;)


This year was extra special because he DID get me something, AND it was ROMANTIC...in a guy sort of way. He got me ma'gun. I do not like guns, but I do like pretty things. My husband has wanted me to have a hand gun. I haven't' wanted anything to do with it. We have gone back and forth for some time now. Well...he put two and two together, he is one smart guy. My niece got this Lavender Lady gun by Charter Arms and it was, well....it was pretty. It was so pretty that it appears I said I could own a gun like that...though I am not a lavender type of lady. ;) Sorry Em.


So what does hubby do? He waits until Valentines Day and bought me a .38 special RED Lady gun. It is even a revolver, cool huh? I know what your thinking....all those children and a handgun? Don't worry, I have a brain.



Ain't it cute?


Isn't that just the sweetest thing?!
P.S. Waiting for tax refund...need a new camera, hence the lack of pictures.
