When you are married and have kids, it can turn into a bit of a special day in comparison to without kids. Grandma is more willing to watch them for the day and we get to do something together without the
"When are we going to be there... Are we there yet... I have to go to the bathroom... I need a drink... I'm hungry... I want to go home... I don't want to go home..."
We don't get to spend time for ourselves without the distraction of kids very often. That said, the kids are with us today and it's just another Saturday for us.
I don't waste my money on buying a stupid card. I make one myself and put my thoughts into it rather than some stupid card saying. She gets flowers throughout the year and doesn't need to get flowers on a commercial day to know she is loved.
Speaking of commercialization, it has become far more than flowers and a card. On my photography forums, there's been posts of people saying they are getting their significant others lenses, cameras, flash, or other photography gear.... Nothing says "I love you" more than a Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4G.
