A whole week of love

So yesterday, as it seems like it was for everyone else also, was pretty great - chalk up another good v-day for me... although the morning started off very typical - rushed and hurried - so no gifts in the morning

at lunch, went with daniel to give gabe his medicine and he gave me such a sweet card, so then we went to see our happy little bug - he must have been hit by cupid, b/c he was happy all day - so that was such a heart-lifter... and then we dropped some flowers off for anna, my sister, at her work...

back at work, I had a good day, as work was steady but not too busy... then daniel came and got me at 5, and gave me a rose from my son (how sweet)... then we went and got gabe (the bug), and drove out to see his grandmom (Daniel's mom) and he gave her a rose and spent a little time with her, and then we went to see Gabe's mammy (my mom), and he gave her a rose and spent a little time with her and anna...

then we went home, we exchanged all of our gifts... I gave daniel some scratch off romance lottery tickets for fun, he gave me some chocolate shaped/scented soaps (the next best thing since I cant eat them), and we gave Gabe a rattle with a heart on it - which he preceded to fall in love with and kiss all over (well, at least put it in his mouth - ha ha)...

then I had to go to bed, daniel put gabe to bed and came to bed soon after and we lay for a few minutes and talked about our day and what was going on 3 years ago... very good sleep... ZZZZZZ

ok, so you ask, whats this whole 'week of love' that you are talking about - v-day was one day and now its over... well, maybe for you it is, but we had our first date 69 months ago today (it will be 6 years on may 15th), and tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary... thursday isnt really anything special, but friday is our weekly date night, and the weekend is family time, so should be a really good week - :)

on to other things... daniel and I have planned not to do anything for our anniversary but go out to dinner... but I would really like to surprise him and give him a little extra...

any ideas would be appreciated, here are the facts...

-Im off work the whole day, so I can do alot of planning and preparing if thats necessary

-mom is picking gabe up after school, so wont have to do that and have some time afterwards to ourselves

-he knows we are going to dinner - I told him he could pick anywhere he wants, even if its not somewhere I like

-I got paid today


so the only thing I could think of would be to go to dinner and then go home and spend some *quality time* with each other, and maybe rent a movie like the Notebook

or

get our food to go, have the house set up with candles and rose petals like a picnic... spend some time, eat, and watch a movie

are these even remotely creative? they seem kind of boring and not something a guy would really like (although daniel does like chick-flicks)... I would love to just blow him away with something he totally isnt expecting... so Im up for anything - any suggestions?
