Valentine’s Day was far from perfect – the twins were cranky and I was tired, the weather cold, the place we were to get take out from was so booked they were not taking take out orders and Ken’s pay cheque did not go through until after midnight! BUT there was some good stuff too – the twins had a blast at my mom’s and slept like logs, we got what we needed for today’s meals – I have my stew in the slowcooker as I type, we had Wendy’s drive through and plan to have our more expensive fancy take out NEXT week sometime. Ken and I even played WoW together – doing the Valentine’s Day quests and then grouping with our friend Steven and his roommate. Great fun! I didn’t die once! Of course we played way too late and I feel asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow – poor Ken!
We did not exchange gifts this year – just cards – but Ken budgeted enough money so we could get some chocolate and I could get a cross stitching magazine! Now I have a bunch of new projects I want to try once I get some more aida cloth. I did get the best gift of all this morning – when Emanuel woke up at 7 am Ken let me SLEEP IN ! BLISS !
No reading session today but it is almost 11 already so close to time to plan out lunch for the boys. Then this afternoon I need to fold the laundry my mom did for us and tidy up. Ken has a raid tonight and has to vacuum before it starts. His foot IS feeling better – now he can sit still without it throbbing but it still hurts after a very short time when he walks. He thinks it will be less than a month before he can return to his night shift – thank goodness.
It has definately been a lovely morning – except for the temper tantrums but that is normal. It is now -2 celcius so we should see cleared sidewalks really soon which means I can start planning walks with the kids. I want to wait to use the carrier as a backpack one until it is warm enough I do NOT have to worry about Emanuel’s face and head being exposed to the cold.
Gavin is still acting up when he poops, Ken wants to wait but I am betting by next week I will be making that appointment with the pediatrician. It is so hammed up right now it just makes me ANGRY. UGH I would love to get them potty trained but am nervous – that is something I have NEVER done before.
