Happy Valentines

So we had a GREAT Valentines Day in this house hold until about 10pm....

It started by my amazing hubby fixing me and Aiden dinner! YUMMY! Flaffels. Aiden loves Flaffels and rice pilaf. So since he was cooking I told him I would bring home dessert. Gigi cupcakes! My first time ever, and I am gonna have to say Muddy's is WAAAY better. Their icing is fluffy and not as rich as GiGis. But they looked so pretty.

Aiden just kept watching Daddy, so I will interpret his pictures. "Come on Dad! I'm hungry!" "Are you done yet?" "Mom can I have my cupcake now?!" "MMMMMMM CUPCAKE!!!!" Gosh I love this little boy so much he truly is "Mom and Dads little Valentine". The shirt he wore for 5 minutes because it was covered with icing.

After dinner it was time to open his presents! Yah! His favorite part was the book of course! So we curled up on the sofa and read the book together. Love moments like that! One of the gifts was totally inappropriate not for a 1 year old...but it was sooo awesome I just had to get it. It was "My Responsibility Chart". I probably won't use it for a year, but I think it will help him.

As you can see from the pictures Aiden is a walking machine. So cute! However, that night I'm not sure if it was from the sugar high or the teething factor but Aiden wouldn't go to sleep. This is the 4th night of sleepless nights. OMG! Well, walking plus a tired baby equals a accident. I felt awful it happened on my clock. See the HUGE bump that appeared, but luckily by bedtime it went down and today it improved a lot more. I definitely didn't win the Best Mom Award that night. :-(

House Updates:
We got a new table lamp. Thanks Mom and Dad we finally used that Pier 1 card! haha like 1 year later! I had been stalking the lamp forever, but didn't want to pay full price. Lucky me I just happen to stop by on Mommy and Son outing Saturday and OMG it was on clearance! SCORE! It looks great. Well with that change I decided the other lamp needed to change after I saw a picture in my Better Homes and Gardens magazine. So off I went for a simple cheap change. Baby blue spray paint. LOOOOVE it! Now I'm on the hunt for a shade that is similar to the new lamp. I couldn't convince Wes we needed to paint our ceiling blue. haha. Can't win all the battles right?!

Another news my parents brought up my Fostoria crystal last weekend. Look at me Mrs. Fancy! It was Mudder's, which makes it even better! Memories of using it during Christmas/Easter/Thanksgivings at her house growing up. As I was cleaning the pieces before putting them in the buffet I just stood there in amazement and felt so blessed and overwhelmed. I mean look at all those pieces. 12 settings + extras items. I'd NEVER be able to afford it. It would probably take me like 10 years to get all of it. Even from up in the heavens Mudder is blessing my little family like she always did. LOVE YOU!

Tonight was my Cookbook Club, German night! AMAZING like normal even if I felt awful and had a day from hell at work. I live for these nights! Next month Irish night. So I'm up on the plate...gotta find something to teach everyone to make. No pressure :-)

On that note: I gladly say Aiden went down at 10pm and both me and Wes are sick....UGH Hopefully, I will feel better in the morning....
