1 Valentine's Recap

Today was even better than I expected! It started out a little rough when I realized that the car seat was in my dads car this morning when he took it to work :-O!!!!!! I was SUPER bummed out. I thought m whole day was going to go out the window but again like always I tried to look at my glass half full.

I still made my pancakes (not as pretty as the ones I posted earlier but hey I tried!)





We did letter of the day C for cat






P found this suitcase type thing upstairs and she was so cute dragging it around every where.








Then I decided car or no car we were going to the park so P and I got dressed (dad was napping) and we got on her tricycle ( it has a handle in the back so I can push it) and we walked over to the park (about 2-3 miles away) Im SOOO happy we decided to walk! It was such a beautiful day the sun was out it was like 60 and seriously everyone we saw on the way to the park was so friendly! I love friendly people. About one up hill climb before we reached our destination i got a BAD blister and didnt think I was going to make it but I pushed through it and we made it to the park. As soon as I got there I called Mikey and told him if he didnt bring me sneeks socks and a band aid I wasn't making it home. He brought them to me and then played with us for a while. P LOVED it.

















After we were parked out Mikey went home to change shoes so he could come back and walk home with us. P and I walked over to Starbucks and got lunch. We ate outside. She made a little friend they shared cookies and hung out for about 45 min. I realized after the fact tht I should have gotten her parents number or something because I have zero young mom friends here and it would have been nice but dummy me didnt even think about it! Oh well maybe we will run into them again some day.

When Mikey got there we walked back home. It was so refreshing. I told Mikey it was good for our hearts and good for our souls. The fresh almost spring air mixed with friendly people and exercise. I think I will have to make a walk to the park a weekly activity whether permitting.




After we got home P passed out

When she woke up I got us ready and we went out to surprise Mikey at dinner. He was so happy we came in and we had a lot of fun. It was great to see everyone at the restaurant. P was such a good girl.

She was wearing me shoes from when I was a baby ... she lovvveees shoes. She showed them off all night.





We got home around 9 got ready for bed and she passed right out.

Every year for Valentines one of my BFFs Nailah sends me a homemade Vday card. I love you Nai and miss you thank you for the card!




all in all my best Valentine's day yet. I hope you all had a great day with loved ones!

0 Lazy Hazy Sundayzy

I love Sundays
Not so much when I was in school because it meant that it was the end of the weekend and another long week was ahead of me. Now Sundays are just relaxing.

Today I woke up and Peyton and I did our letter of the day. Today was B because we skipped yesterday. She knew what it was one stripe in. She amazes me more and more every day.





After breakfast my mom, P, my sister, and I went to Babies 'R' Us to register for Nikki. I LOVED registering when I was pregnant...Nikki not so much. We had a good time though. I love spending girls days with my mom and sister. I can not WAIT for my nephew to get here she is looking so pregnant and adorable.



After we got home my dad made a nice big Sunday night dinner and we all ate on the couch as a family. Family time is my favorite.

Mikey got off work a lot earlier than I expected which is always a nice thing. When he showed up I put him in charge of the monitor so my mom and I could go to Starbucks ( I have a VERY unhealthy addiction to caramel macchaitos)

Starbucks makes me happy




Then when I got home my baby bug woke from her nap

here is a picture of my big love bug and little love bug cuddling on the couch





And here is just a close up of her in my favorite pair of skinny jeans and the new slippers my mom bought her today. She is one stylish kid.




I hope you all had a nice relaxing and family filled Sunday as well! Im off to join my snuggle bugs!

0 A Letter A Day ...

... Keeps the cabin fever away!
Pey and I have been cooped up for liike MONTHS it feels. It's too cold to play outside for excessive amounts of time and every time I do leave the house I spend money because, well, I'm a shopping addict. So for the next....26? ( I had to take a min. to go through my ABC's) days I will go through a letter of the alphabet till we get to, you guessed it, Z!

So naturally today was A and A is for Apple. I cut out the apple and Peyton helped color the leaves. Then we went over "A is for Apple" several times and she caught on pretty quickly. So for the rest of the day A will be our letter.

I would love to do this with fabric at some point but Im not sure she has the patience for that right now. We may have to redo the "letter a day" in a few years so we can be more creative

And now for the Pictures
