The Perkin’s mystery shop didn’t come through, so we had a non-secretive dinner at a little pizza place. We ate outside and it was a little chilly. We didn’t have any socks for baby, so CM put jeans over his pants to cover his feet. Since his jeans were very low on his legs, it looked like he was going poo-poo in the seat. Strangely enough, no one joined us on the patio.
Our wild time continued with a stop for ice cream. However, when I opened the boy’s door to get him out, he was asleep in his car seat. His naps are so few and far between that we switched to Plan B: eating the ice cream in the car.
After ice cream, we drove around while he slept. Not the most environmentally-friendly way to get him to nap, but any parent would agree that naps are the most precious natural resource on earth.
After he woke, we came home, played, put him to bed, and ended with that sweet, tender Valentine’s Day tradition: watching LOST.
I asked CM if I should’ve gotten her a box of candy and she had a great idea: get one today instead. She said we should celebrate holidays a day or two later. Everything would be at least half-off by then! It’s fun to be strange.
Sounds like a classy evening.
I spent the night with friends, since we usually do Thursday night gatherings to worship, talk about Jesus, pray, laugh, eat…be a community. There’s nowhere else I would have much rather been.
By the way, in response to CD’s question to me a while back…yes, the switch to Mac was worth it! The only issue so far is people opening my Word docs with an older version of Word. But there is a “compatibility mode” option, so it works pretty well.
My wife gets excited about post holiday buying as well.
rachel – V-Day is all about loved ones, right? yours sounded great.
portorikan – i guess i’ll hit up a Walgreen’s or CVS today to see what deals they have to offer.
