Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day this year was a much needed date night. In fact, it was our first date night since Jacob was born. We really didn't want to ask Scott's parents to watch the boys (since they watched Alexander last year), but when we were casually talking about it, they volunteered and we were thrilled! So we decided to just keep the night simple and go to dinner, but we will get to that later. First, I should share with you my surprise!

The morning of Valentine's Day, there was a knock at the door. And who could it be? None other than a flower delivery guy! My sweetie had ordered me flowers and chocolates to be delivered. Though I think he spent way too much on me, it sure was sweet. Alexander enjoyed trying to eat all my chocolates too! When I finally hid them from him, I decided to have some candy hearts (that I had bought earlier). After finishing the hearts, I left them on the dining room table, and changed Jacob's diaper. Well, my little man, Alexander, is getting so big and tall, that he reached up on the table and pulled down the bag of hearts. They fell everywhere, and he started shoving them in his mouth by the handfuls  Luckily, I was able to rescue some of them. Oh my silly little boy! Speaking of my little boy! We got another surprise that day! A nursery leader brought Alexander a little valentine with some jelly bellies! It was so sweet and he was so excited. They stopped by to say they have been missing him and hope to see him again soon. It was super sweet of them!

In preparation of Valentine's Day, Amy got me a cute nail painting set. So, on one of my "fun nights" I painted my fingers and toes. It was a lot of fun and they turned out really cute. Below are pictures of them:

During the afternoon, on Valentine's Day, I loaded up the boys and went to the office at our complex. They were having a little party. We had sandwiches  juice boxes, and cookies. They even let you decorate your own cookies. I had super fun decorating mine, but Alexander preferred his without the frosting (pick little eater)! We hung out there and enjoyed treats until Scott came home from work. It was way fun, though Alexander had one too many juice boxes! He kept stealing mine. The office staff was cute too, they even gave him a valentine. It was super fun!

Anyway, on to the evening. Scott's family came, and they had just returned from traveling. So they had brought us a whole bunch of souvenirs. So we opened our fun gifts from them before we left. They got us cute shirts that we can't wait to wear. Scott's says, "The Father of all things," mine is "The Mother of all things," and Alexander has "Thing 1" and Jacob has "Thing 2." We are even thinking we might wear them for Halloween. Anyway, after our gifts Scott and I headed out for dinner and dessert. At our office party they gave us a coupon book, so we got dinner and dessert half off! We had a nice dinner at Applebee's, and then went for dessert at this ice cream place called Sub Zero. They do this neat freezing process with fog right in front of you. It is super cool! Well, during dessert I thought it would be fun to take turns telling each other what we love most about the other person. We did it during the entire time at dessert and it was nice being reminded of why I love him, and why he loves me. I do have to say that after almost 3 years of marriage, I am still completely head over heels in love with Scott. I really feel blessed to have such an amazing husband and father of my two sweet boys. Well, that is all for now. Tune in next time for Fabulous February :)
