Valentines Day 2011

I've noticed that the way we spend holidays has changed as we've become parents and as our children grow. Valentines no longer seems to be about romance and fluff, but more about true appreciation for love. This weekend was very busy with family in town, so Ti was assigned to help the kids pick out Valentine treats. They came back from school on Monday with cards they made for each of us.

I love when they make us stuff!

We didn't really have anything romantic planned, but thought it would be nice to get out of the house since I had the day off. I really wanted to watch a show on the strip, but we kept it super simple instead. Misi offered to babysit the boys (which they were really excited about). So after school the kids did their homework and we dropped them off at Misi's house. Me and Ti went and had dinner at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, then headed over to South Point to catch a movie. We had no clue what we wanted to watch. I told him that I read on Facebook and Twitter about a movie called "Just Go With It." So we got tickets for that show with no idea what it was about. I was excited however as we walked toward the theater and found out it was the new Adam Sandler movie. Wow... it was so funny!!! We both loved it!!! And I can honestly say that we probably had more fun at the movies than we would've had at an expensive show on the strip. After the film we picked up the boys and came home. When they found out we went to the theater they were so bummed. As soon as I told them we went on a date, they stopped complaining about not being invited. I was so tired by the time we got home that I almost overlooked a package that was left on our doorstep. I brought it in to find a dozen cupcakes from the Tua family. How sweet! Perfect way to end the night.
