"Valetimes"



Best gift ever!

I know, Valentines day is supposed to be about you and your love but let's face it...Chad and I are boring!  When we do go out just the two us, which is like never, we are always wishing that the two little rug rats were with us.  So a couple days before Valentines I was on the Internet looking for some fun, creative recipes that I could whip up on Valentines.  We don't like to go out on  Feb 14th because it is to dang crowded...and we wanted to give or babysitters the night off.  Although, mom and dad would have probably been happy to have them!  Anyway, so Mila was watching t.v. and a commercial came on for Chuck E. Cheese and of course she asks, "MOoom, can we PLEEEASSE go to Chuck E. Cheese???"  So when Chad came home that night, I hit him up about the idea and he was totally game, I actually think that he was pretty excited!
Valentine's Day fell on a Tuesday.  And Tuesdays are really busy for Mila, she has school that morning and dance in the afternoon.  Usually by the end of the day she has had many meltdowns because she is so tired and hasn't napped because she is so busy!  This day was exceptionally dramatic because all she had eaten the whole freakin day was sugar, sugar and more sugar and she fell at dance and scrapped her nose, so she was a little off.  We had a minor break down when we got home from dance.  Bless her heart, ha and mine!  And I was thinking, "Shoot, she is gonna be to tired and ornery and we aren't going to be able to go tonight and I am going to have to figure out what to cook,"  I like to cook, but not when there is nothing in the house to cook and I have to make something up,  it would have been one of those nights.  But my baby girl rallied and by the time Chad got home she was in good spirits and ready to go and party!

We got there at around six and didn't leave till eight thirty!!  Chad says he gets the same high there trying to win tickets as he does in Vegas.  Seriously, Chad!?!  Would have been nice to know a few thousand dollars left in Vegas later.  But good to know now.  Next time he gets the Vegas itch, I'll just send him to Chuck E. Cheese with $20 and he can shut the place down! ;)  One more dollar,babe...I just need four more tokens, he's funny

I don't care what anyone says, Chuck E. Cheese is a classy establishment!  Kidding, but we did have a ball and I would take Chuck E. Cheese over a fancy smanchy restaurant any day of the week.  I don't mind white trash...what you see is what you get.  Much better then some country club idiot trying to impress all of his friends with all of his things.  And as far as spending Valentine's Day with Chad alone, we have the rest of our lives to be just us and just a few short years with our kiddos before they want to go out on their own dates, so we will probably keep the tradition of going out as a family.  It  was nice and I can't tell you how dang blessed I am to have them!  Love you forever, my funny Valentine!
