This past week Navia has been sick for 7 out of 8 days - ug! So with her still not feeling 100% Daddy took on Valentine weekend with the kids. He got home early on Friday night and took Emma and Kaleb out for supper and a movie - The Tooth Fairy.
The kids LOVED it and when Kaleb came home from the night the first thing he said when he walked through the door was, "tonight was so great!". Yep - they had fun!
Then on Saturday Daddy took Emma and Kaleb out to the canal to skate, eat BeaverTails and have hot chocolate. Yum! Navia and I hung out at home and Daddy actually came home with pictures :)
Beavertails - My favorite is the cinnamon and sugar - you just HAVE to have one when you come down!!!
Then on Sunday - actual Valentine's Day - we played for ReChurch so had to take off early and then after church we went to a friend's house for Valentine's Brunch. The kids had fun because they have a ravine type area at the back of their house so could spend all afternoon playing outside!!!
For the last 9 years Braden and I have had the same tradition for Valentine's Day - it started when Emma wasn't even a month old and we didn't want to get a babysitter - Brade made us a picnic in the living room and ordered in Chinese food. This year we changed it just a bit and used the coffee table instead of the floor :)
It's kinda cool to be able to have a date at home by putting the kids to bed early . . . but . . . I am looking forward to this week when Braden's Dad comes and he's offered to watch the kids while we go out on a real date!!! Yay!!!
