--Belated-- Valentines Dinner

On Valentines day I woke up with the flu... Of course! Every other day of the week I force myself to get up and do something with Stu {because I am pregnant and tired} and the day that I had A LOT planned to do I got sick... But, thank goodness Mike was very sweet and worked from home to take care of Stu. 

Luckily we went out to dinner Monday night so we had sort of celebrated Vday, but since it SO hard to think of things to do for boys on Vday {Mike could literally not care LESS about the holiday. "it is just for girls" he says} I was going to make a nice dinner anyways.

Well I made it work and finally made our romantic -late- Valentines dinner last night! He was surprised at least!!

One really great thing about doing Vday after Vday is I found this sweet deal at Smith's the day after!
Yes that says $4.00!!! They really made the table PERFECT!


So I set up this ^^^ romantic table for us and this one for Stu... 

Don't worry he got a new movie for his Valentines day present {Open Season from the $7 Blu ray bin!!} and his favorite= dinosaur chicken nuggets and a banana! He really did not mind that we semi-ignored him for a bit. I think I may have qualified for best wife and best mom {in Stu's mind only} all in the same night. (:

 I got lucky with Mike's Valentines present this year. The dinner was going to be his present until he mentioned a couple days ago that he would really like a basketball! Perfect! I love present suggestions.
Also, found these cute salsa bowls at walmart that were just perfect for the homemade salsa that I made to go with these fish tacos. They were delicious!

And, last but very much not least... The flowers that Mike got me!!! I LOVE THEM!!

Hope you all had a great Vday. Early, late or on time it is all the same when you are with the person you love! 

Now we are off to Idaho to see the rest of the people we love for presidents day weekend!! {Minus - Talon, Natalie and Lila of course}

~Cookies~

Last Sunday I decided that we needed to make cookies! {meaning: I wanted chocolate, and I had nothing.. the person that I KNOW would have some [my mom] is 3 hours away..} So Stu and I got busy making some yummy chocolate peanut butter cookies!!





 **I had some music on so this is his cookie dough eating dance!**
 No, I did not get any pictures of the finished product... at the rate he was eating the cookie dough I was glad to get any cooked! But they were YUMMY!
It is SO fun that Stu is getting big enough to be my little helper! Most things are accompanied by his version of "I can do it myself" {the kind that only the mom can understand!} I love my little buddy!
