Full of hugs & kisses, chocolates, love notes, red tulips and yummy food.
Completely and totally in love with my 4 valentines.
I woke up this morning refreshed! Baby D gave me two 4-hour stretches of sleep. Funny how 4-hours of sleep can seem so luxurious! I made our traditional Valentine's Day breakfast. This time, the meal was full of crispy bacon for my husband, cinnamon muffins for my sweet girl and smoothies for my little red-headed cutie. (Kind of a hodgepodge of foods, but I had to make everyones favorites.) Our table was decorated with lovely tulips from J. Tulips are on my short list of favorite flowers. My husband must love me.
We rushed the kids to bed at 6pm. Yes, 6pm. Our romantic dinner for two was awaiting, so the kids were put to bed an hour early. (Shhh. Don't tell. They don't know.) We devoured our feast of crab legs, rosemary potatoes, pear & alvacado salad, and asparagus. Sufficiently sophonsified. We ended our meal with chocolate pie. Delish. A meal full of aphrodisiac foods; a perfect theme for a day such as this.
We watched what my husband calls "a bonnet movie." Northanger Abby was delightful. After the movie, my husband endured olympic figure skating. Couples. Oh so perfect on Valentine's Day.
Praying Little D will allow us another 4-hour stretch of sleep tonight. It has been a lovely day, but we are exhausted.
Seems like you enjoyed a lot
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day for you and your family! I love that your fella watched figure skating (mine did too)--hopefully, he was good at pretending to enjoy it like mine was:)
ReplyDeleteChocolate pie sounds yummy! It seems like you had a great time :)
ReplyDeleteohhh those muffins look delicious and the chocolate pie sounds splendid!! glad you guys got in a little date night!
ReplyDeleteA bonnet movie. My friend's husband calls them "Lord Fancypants films," but mine calls them all "Emma." Cause I made him go see the Gwyneth Paltrow version when we were dating. Which was a mistake.
ReplyDeletequite interesting read. I would love to follow you on twitter.
ReplyDeletei love red tulips too. simple perfection, right? my husband and i don't give each other anything for valentine's, so he gave me some gorgeous calla lilies the day before. sneaky. ; )
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Valentine's Day. Simple and quiet. Sometimes a 5-20 minute nap is a luxury:)
ReplyDeleteHow great is your husband for not only enduring a Jane Austen movie but also figure skating? What a great valentine.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very accommodating babe. And Baby D contributed, too! I'm glad you had a lovely Valentine's Day!

The best Valentine's Day celebrations are the ones where you don't have to wait 3 hours to get seated at a restaurant:)
ReplyDeleteYou dinner sounds delicious!! And yes, 4 hours is an amazing stretch of sleep these days.
I'm drooling over your meal description. I love it when staying in is as good or better than going out!
