Mixed McNutts: February 2013

I have never understood why some people are so negative when Valentine's day comes around. I LOVE this holiday. Even when I was single, I loved Valentine's day. It's fun, adorable, filled with red and pink, and chocolate! I realize it's a made up holiday. It's just fun to recognize the ones you l-o-v-e! I don't believe that one day should display the love you have for someone. This should be displayed year round - February 14th is just a fun day to celebrate your love. Don't put pressure on this date. Just enjoy it. And that's what we did! We had a "fancy" dinner at home with Paris & Sophia. We ordered takeout from Capital Grille (one of our favorite steak restaurants), dressed up, and decorated.

The girls woke up to teddy bears, balloons, bracelets, flowers and baseball gloves from dad. I woke up to lots of roses, love letters, jewelry, and other surprises.

Hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's day! xo

Sophie did her own make up. :)

Typical gift from dad, right? lol

Paris & Sophia's valentine's for their friends - Hershey chocolate bars!

Meet Dax.

I said to the kids that we will never get a dog. Like, sat them down and told them to quit asking because it was NEVER going to happen. They've been asking since we moved to the east coast.

I asked Marvin to have a glass of wine and watch Marley & Me with me one night last week. It's probably the only movie that I had already seen, but he hadn't. It's one of my favorite movies and so adorable. So, we snuggle up and start watching. Marvin interrupted the movie a trillion times with, "Oh, can we please get a dog?". I laughed and told him to hush up and watch the movie. At the end of the movie he asked if he could just go look at puppies. Oh, you can look all day long, honey. We. Are. Not. Getting. A. Dog.

Then, he sends me this picture.
