Since I have had kids (plural), I enjoy any excuse to shower them with presents, do crafts, & go on special Mommy dates.
We started the morning off with Chocolate Chip Pancakes. I attempted to make them in the shape of a heart, but they kept sticking even after I oiled the cookie cutter for a second try.
Reagan got up before Jax & eagerly waited to open her Valentine's Day present while I finished making breakfast.
I managed to get one good one for Reago. They tasted really good & both munchkin gobbled them up.
Reagan loves singing along to Taylor Swift in the car. So, I thought what better than to get her a Taylor Swift cd for Valentine's Day.
She was so happy!
A week or so ago, I found this super cute kids shaving set. I knew I had to have it for Jax!
Also included in their gifts were Disney Princess chocolates for Reagan, M&M's for Jax, & Trader Joe's Valentine gummies for them to share.
Reagan wore her beautiful Paris dress {from Grammy}to preschool for her Valentine's Day party.
After school, Jax & I picked Reagan up & we headed for a Mommy date to {one of Reagan's favorites} Olive Garden.
I let Reagan open up her bag of Valentine's cards while we waited for our food. She made out good with lots of candy & even a 4 week pass to do Karate (pretty cool!).
Jax is insistent on eating with utensils. He sat there like such a little gentleman slurping away his soup & dipping his breadstick.
They both were so well behaved & I felt proud to be sitting there with them as
their Mommy.
When Braden got home from work, he had a special surprise.... he brought not only a lovely bouquet of flowers {with a very sweet card} for me, but he got Reagan one as well. He is such a good Daddy & Reagan felt so special :)
Shortly after, Braden & I scurried to get ready for our
romantic date. We dropped the kids off at Papa & Grammy's & headed to our mystery dinner {mystery to me}.
 |
| We had everything but the grilled swordfish |
|
The whole dinner date was quite comical. When we arrived & walked inside the {very nice} place was filled with 50-60 year old couples. Our waitress knew pretty much nothing when it came to the menu. All of our courses {with exception of our entrees} were either SO-SO or not good.
 |
| Don't be fooled, unfortunately this was NOT as good as it looks. |
 |
| Braden got the duck |
 |
| This was my entree that was actually quite tasty |
The best part of the whole evening was getting to spend it with my guy alone. It felt good to put on a flirty dress & a super cute pair of very high heels.
