Valentine's Day

So this weekend was Valentine's Day and Chris actually did a really good job, I am very impressed with him. He would be the first to admit that he pretty much sucks at being romantic, but he does try so I gotta give him credit for that :-P But this time he really did do a good job.

Chris left early Saturday morning because he had to take a physical test for part of the application process for the Cedar Rapids Police Department. So I slept in until 8 when my munchkin was wide awake and ready to play. I got up and came to the computer to check my stuff and there was a post-it note on the screen from Chris telling me I better be in bed and hungry when he got home around 10ish. Now it was 8 and I was already starving, but I am a good little wifey and I obey my husband :-P So I gave Elijah some breakfast and changed his mega poopy diaper and waited around for Chris. I texted him once to see where he was at and he wrote back and told me not to worry about it. So he finally got home and I was in bed playing with Elijah and waiting for him and he comes downstairs with a tray with french toast, scrambled eggs, sausage, and orange juice from IHOP :-P Delicious!!! He also got me a beautiful red rose and the husband&wife Willow Tree figurine I've been wanting. What a good hubby, I tell ya. Then he told me he was going to take care of the munchkin all day and he promised he wouldn't do any homework all day :-) So after my delicious breakfast we got up and got ready for the day. We ran some errands and then we came home and shoveled the driveway together. One of the neighbors came over with a plow and plowed out our little parking space which was nice, then he got out and talked to us for a while. He's an old guy who apparently has lived on this block forever and built some of the houses and sold some of the houses and his dad used to live in one of the houses, so that was pretty cool. He was a nice old guy. I really like nice old guys.

We kind of skipped lunch since we basically had brunch so we started making dinner around 4 and we made some taco dip, little smokies, veggies and dip, and cut up ham and cheese for crackers - YUM! Then we watched Madagascar 2 with Chris' family and it was really funny, I watched it again on Sunday before we had to return it :-) So that was pretty much it, just a relaxing day, but the best part was that Chris spent the whole day with me and didn't do anything else. He knows the best gift he can give me is quality time (and food, of course).

So yeah, overall it was a good weekend. But we are excited for next weekend because Darren and Alaina are coming to visit! Yay! :-D I'm not sure what all we are going to do but I am excited just to have visitors :-) I think we are going to go bowling even though Darren will probably whine about it... He's just going to have to deal with that. And I'm sure we will play lots of games and eat lots of food and have a jolly good time :-D

Well Chris just got home and baby just woke up, so it's time to go back to the real world. Ta-ta!
