Our Weekend and Valentine’s

It’s Monday again and time for a little recap. The main event from last week? Valentine’s Day! I was treated to a surprise date night by my hubby. Gramma volunteered to babysit so we could have a special night by ourselves! Yay! Just what we needed. We went to Outback, walked around in Sam’s (exciting, huh?) and had a treat at Starbucks.

We *tried* to have a little photoshoot before leaving on our date, but it involved much weeping and wailing. As evidenced by the teary eyes in the first picture. Nothing like a good temper tantrum to start date night off right.

The next day he climbed up in the chair and said “mama, take picture.” Ha! Leave it to him to give me some great pictures on his terms. Little stinker!

I had a tough week last week with my crohn’s. And majorly fell off the eating right bandwagon. I was so frustrated by the fact that despite eating so carefully I was still having trouble… so one afternoon I ate 3 of my son’s KitKat minis that he received for valentine’s. Yep, major fail in the diet department but they were soooo good. And I figured he didn’t need all of that chocolate anyway. Trying to regroup this week and get back on track. All of those valentine’s goodies sitting around my kitchen do not help one bit.

We spent Friday night at my Grandma’s house and were planning to spend Saturday night too but came back instead due to these pictures:

It was beautiful coming down but really messed up our little trip. We so hated to leave my Grandma but knew we better come home just in case. Lukas did have the best sleeping night away from home he’s ever had! He slept 12 hours without a peep in a pack-n-play that is just about too small for him. We couldn’t believe it! I didn’t think we would ever have that kind of night away from home. He woke up at 7:30 Saturday morning saying “new car” and you better believe he got one for that kind of sleeping!
