Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Little Miss A and Mr. D awoke bright and early to Valentine goodies. We made pink heart shaped pancakes with chocolate chips and had a nice slow morning at home. The kids consumed WAY to much sugar before noon..note to self: fewer sweets in the Valentine bags next year. :) We had a great day just spending time together as a family. (We need to do that more often. Our lives get so consumed by mundane errands and things to do, that we never really take the opportunity to just enjoy one another.) We played, we talked, we laughed and just LOVED each other today. It was AWESOME!!!!! I think EVERY day should be Valentine's Day!!!!
School Sock Hop
Our school had a Valentine Day Family Sock Hop. Friday night, we waited for Daddy to get home from work, then walked up to school as a family for the dance. (I really LOVE living so close to school!!) The dance was awesome...tons of fun!!! Mr. D danced gymnastics style doing cartwheels all over the place and Little Miss A was a limbo girl, then did some dancing with me. It wasn't long before they both walked off with friends just like the big kids (That's happening too fast. I feel like they've both grown up way too much this week!!!) After the dance we headed to one of the restaurants in the neighborhood I had been dying to take J to. It was great. Mr. D even liked it, Little Miss A fell asleep after the Edamame!!! What an awesome night!!!! I hope this is a school tradition!
We loaded up the car with all of our valentine's and headed to school on Friday morning in anticipation of our Valentine Party!!! The kids were so excited. It was hard to understand why we were making everyone else Valentine's, but not one for ourselves. Difficult concept, I know. :) They had a great time with their friends, had a TON of sugar and pretty much spent the rest of the day outside running it off. :) Notice Mr. D sporting the Harry Potter specs. (He insisted on wearing them and would NOT take them off!!!!!)
Dance Class Crush
So, Mr. D waits with me through Little Miss A's dance lass, just as Little Miss A waits for Mr. D through gymnastics. They both have friends that help them pass the time, which definitely helps. Apparently, Mr. D's friendship is developing into a little more. On Tuesday, Audrey announced that she and Mr. D are getting married!!!
Me: "Wow, really D?"
D: "I guess so. Sure. Why not." As nonchalant as possible as if this was just any other question.
Too funny!!!
Super Bowl Sunday!
We began our week of love by having our bffs over for the Super Bowl. The kids had so much fun. I love seeing how well they all play together, hearing their sweet whispers and infectious giggles, then seeing their sweet good-bye's upon departure...we LOVE our friends!! :)
One fun treat Miss J brought were some yummy, festive football cupcakes...complete with BLACK icing. :) Here is a brief glimpse of the difference...
Cupcake Number 1
Cupcake Number 2...
Priceless!
Little Miss A was in heaven though...both Ken and Mck were sporting the same black smiles and purple teeth. :)

Steph, When you update your blog, you really update your blog.Love it! I am glad you had a good Valentine's Day and were able to spend time as a family. One of the things we have been working on this year is just how to "be in the moment". You are absolutely right when you say that to often we get caught up in the routine of life- running errands and such. We all need to remember to take time to slow down and enjoy the ones that we love.
