Happy Valentine's Day!

It has been a great Valentine's weekend ... and the best part ... it isn't over yet! Jeff and I both have tomorrow off of work, yippee! We swapped babysitting with my friend Melanie this weekend, so we watched their kids on Friday night (Mylie was in heaven, she LOVES them) and they watched Mylie and Blake on Saturday afternoon. Jeff and I went to Sherlock Holmes (I really liked it) and then to dinner.

Jeff made breakfast this morning and we opened some Valentine's presents. Mylie had been shopping for both mommy and daddy, so that was fun to see what she had picked out. She made cards for everyone too. Jeff and I surprised the kids this morning with a pink bean bag chair for Mylie's room (that she drools over everytime we go to Target) and a little table and chair set for Blake's new big boy room. They were super excited!

Jeff had told me earlier in the week that he and Mylie were going to be in charge of Valentine's Day lunch, so they go to work when we got home from church. It was delish! Steaks, garlic mashed potatoes, vegetable shish-kabobs, texas toast and peanut butter brownies. Yum!

After all that eating, we decided we better go on a walk. Here is the gang right before Mylie rode her bike through a patch a stickers, deflating both of her tires.



Jeff then walked the bike and Mylie decided she would walk Bosco.

She later decided she would try running with him and pulled her right to the ground. Thankfully it was on the grass and she wasn't hurt and was laughing, because Jeff and I were laughing so hard!

And now we are just hanging out. The kids are in Blake's room playing cars, Jeff is riding the exercise bike and watching the Olympics, and I'm just relaxing. I have papers to grade later tonight ... but for now I am just going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

Valentine's Day is fun, but it doesn't take a holiday to remind me of how much I love this little family of mine.
