Dates and more Dates

Nick went with Kayley to this Parents as Teachers Daddy/Daughter Valentine's Day Party. She was absolutely excited about going to it as we told her it was just going to be her and Daddy. She requested to ride in his truck with him and to wear her Sleeping Beauty Princess Dress. They had a blast! They came home with this cute magnet (or maggot as Kayley still calls it!) to be put on my fridge. I'm so glad that I'm blessed with such a sweet husband who is loving and kind to me and will do anything for his girls. It just made for such a special night for Kayley..she is anxiously waiting her next Daddy/Daughter date! Oh...and to make things extra special for Kayley, her song played on the radio on the way to their date. Her song is "Love Story" by Taylor Swift b/c it says "You be the prince and I'll be the princess." She always asks for me to look for her "Prince and Princess" song...you can listen to it below on our playlist if you haven't heard it before.

Then, we had a great Valentine's Day as I'm hoping everyone else did too! We decided to make it low key in order to save money. So to start it off, Nick came home on Friday after work and surprised me with my favorite snack, Jalepeno Cheddar Bites from Captain D's...with Ranch, they are to die for! :) I was excited and devoured them very quickly! Then, Nick's treat was for me to make him Cashew Chicken on Sunday (his favorite meal of all time), which we all enjoyed yesterday! Then we decided to do something different than what we do all the time. We like to go out to eat, but we very rarely go out to eat for Pizza at a Pizza Restaurant. Well, Saturday started and we went out on our normal errands. We got hungry, but didn't want to go out to eat for dinner yet, b/c it was too early, so we stopped at Sam's to get a snack and ended up getting pizza...so that pizza idea was shot. We decided instead to go to El Maguey's. It was still out of the ordinary as Nick is not a big fan of Mexican and we hadn't eaten at this one in Blue Springs yet. So we went and it was a success for everyone...even Nick! We also had a coupon, which made things even better! I love getting a bargain! It was a great Valentine's Day, but the best part was that I got to spend it with my very favorite 3 people in the world, Nick, Kayley, & Cora!

The Cutest Apology

Ok...I just have to write this so that I don't forget because it was so cute to me. The other day was Nick's day off during the week and we went to Petsmart to get some things for our new dog, einstein. Well, we were planning on going to Michelle's to see Shannon in the evening and on the way home from our errands the girls both fell asleep. We decided it would be best to let the girls sleep in the car while we got the dog washed before heading to Michelle's. We left the door open to the garage and the windows down so we could hear the girls. Well, evidently we weren't listening well enough as Kayley woke up saying she had to go potty, but she couldn't get out of her carseat as we had kept her strapped in to keep her asleep. Well we cleaned it up and had a fun visit at Michelle's. On the way home from eating dinner, Kayley got in her seat and as I was strapping her in, she said, "Sorry I peed in my carseat mom." I told her it was ok and it wasn't all her fault and that Mommy and Daddy should have listened for her better. I then told Nick what she said and he told Kayley it wasn't her fault either and then Kayley replied with, "Yep, it's partly your fault Dad." It was so funny and really cute and sweet that her apology was so sincere. I love our girls.
