Happy After Valentines Day

I am so ashamed of myself, I have no pictures of anything we did this weekend!  You'll have to excuse the forgetfulness, I had a serious lack of sleep by the weekend.

Well, we had a fun weekend anyway!  Friday night was Valentines Day for me and Alex.  Emily spent the night at Tina and Doug's and we had dinner reservations and tickets for Phantom of the Opera in LA. Unfortunately, It was pouring rain on Friday and the weather backed traffic up like you wouldn't believe so we couldn't even drive up there!  We certainly weren't going to let that bring us down on date night so we came home and Googled.  :)  We found a nice restaurant close to home that we were able to get right into, did I mention I love Italian food??  It was a good food and we were able to relax and have a real grown-up conversation the whole time.  After that we had thought about seeing a movie but decided not to so we got some Cold Stone ice cream and cuddled on the couch watching some shows that we had waiting for us on our TiVo.  It was great!

Saturday morning I went and picked Emily up and took her to her swim lesson.  I could tell she was tired from playing with Alexis the night before and she didn't want to try anything at her lesson, it was frustrating.  That was the last lesson of her 8 week session though, and she starts a new one this week. Her teacher was very sweet but I don't think she was right for Emily.  She would ask Emily if she wanted to do something, Emily would say no, and then she'd pretty much just move on.  She'll have a new day and a new teacher starting this week, and hopefully they'll try and push her at least a little bit.

Saturday night we went back over to Tina's, but this time it was so they could have a date night and we could watch Devin and Alexis.  We had a lot of fun!  We made Pizza for dinner, tried (without success) to put together the T-Rex model skeleton we got Devin for Christmas, built some lego cars, and watched the girls pretend the whole living room floor was hot lava so they had to find a million things to use as stepping stones and not get burnt.

Sunday was kind of a rough day.  Emily was up really late two nights in a row and she was cranky! Then there was my issue of not sleeping much last week and I was pretty cranky too, not the best combination.  :)  I attempted to make heart shaped pancakes Sunday morning with these little molds I bought but I did it wrong and ended up with...pancake amoebas is more like it, haha!  The thought counted and they tasted good so that's ok.  The rest of the day we were pretty zombie like and didn't do a whole lot besides the occasional cranky outburst from Emily.  We sure slept good last night though!
