What we did for Valentines Day and Other Things that Boys do.

So I haven't always been huge into Valentine's Day. I'd have to agree that it seems to be a made up Holiday with no real merit behind it, but I'll use any excuse to make my husband take me out. Also, I've found that any holiday is much more fun when you have kids. Aaron took me on a date Saturday where we did a bit of shopping and then had dinner at Carrabba's. That's usually our go to restaurant. (By the way, their Moscato is a-mazing!) I did a small craft for Henri to take to class that I would love to take credit for, but really I got the idea from Pinterest, and my mom did all the work using her computer scrapbook abilities. When it comes to photoshop, I'm pretty lost. Lucky for me though, my moms a genius!


A hotwheel car in a small bag. My mom designed the tabs and we printed it off on card stock, folded it over and stapled. Simple and super cute!

What I woke up to Valentines Day morning. I was hoping for an Iphone and some Heart-shaped pancakes. I'm a sucker for breakfast foods. But this is what I got, a few of my favorite things. Diet Soda, my favorite candy, a pink rose, and socks without holes. Yeah, my hubs is super cheesy, but he knows me too well. And I love cheesy. 

Hendrix playing on his indoor swing. I talked Aaron into putting this up. It's an outdoor swing that we hung on our door jam to the sunroom. We took down the trim and screwed in a 2x4 into the studs. It has been so much fun! 

Blurry pic, but it's kinda hard to catch one when he's swinging all the time.

Ben waiting for dad to come home.

I've mentioned this before I'm sure, but doing daily chores has been near impossible at this point in my life. Dishes and laundry get done when the babes go to bed, and often that's when I prepare meals for the next day as well. When I do attempt a chore while Aaron is at work, this is what happens. I do my best to distract the boys while I work, but usually it only works for a few minutes at a time. Hendrix is doing his best to distract them as well.

Playing with Maxton. I loooove the teeth on this kid!!

So flippin sweet!

Ben absolutely loves bath time! He has a seat but can climb out of it so it's safer if we just don't use it and just keep a close watch on him. He is not afraid of water!

No, this picture is not upside down. We were tipping the stroller which he thought was hilarious. 

My babies

I love how Bennett is trying to steal Max's hat.

I didn't realize I had it zoomed in this close, but I love Aaron's wrinkles around his eyes so I had to share this pic anyways. Seriously, I love them. 

Fiiiinally, a decent pic!

Aaron's beard has red in it, it really shows up in the sunlight.


Bennett is styling

Battle wounds from playing outside. My babies always look so beat up. This sore is from scrapping his head on the sidewalk. It wasn't a big fall, just bumped his head as he was crawling.

More teeth pictures on Max! He now has 5, Ben still has 0.
