Valentine's Day and Daddy Daughter Dance

Well, I jumped the gun by writing about Sully's birthday before I posted about Valentine's Day, but at least I'm playing catch up now, right?! 

Daddy and the girls were cordially invited to our communities' annual Daddy/Daughter Valentine's Day Dance a couple weeks ago and as always, they had a blast.  The Chik-Fil-A cow always makes an appearance and brings food! And with pizza, cake and juice that seems to be everyone's favorite part :)  I love those nights where they get to go out and dance! It won't be too much longer before they quit wanting to do things like that with Shawn so we always make sure to take advantage while we can!  Right now in life, they absolutely love the bi-annual Daddy/Daughter dances and I always let them put on a little bit of makeup, therefore they always say they feel so beautiful (insert heart-eye emoji here)!

I love Piper's face in this one, haha!

Next up was Valentine's Day.  I didn't get any pictures of all 3 of my kids together because Sully was such a punk-face that day! But, my girl's had the best time at their class parties and we got matching Mommy-and-Me Valentine's Day bracelets.  So that day might have been about my girls for the most part (instead of Shawn and I), but it was still a beautiful day full of love! Later that night we had heart-shaped Pizza and a few extra hugs and kisses all around! I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!

 I went to the school 4 times this day.... I love their parties, but I don't like the amount of crazy it adds to my day!!! I guess that's all part of being a Mom though, right?!

This is one of Lucy's "BFF's," Camden. She has the thickest, cutest curly hair ever. I envy it!

Piper won the class "Minute to Win it" candy-heart stacking game :) I said "GOOD JOB Pi!" and she said in a very serious voice "I won because I NEVER lose. Ever." Haaaa!

 Sully loves putting on Shawn's shoes. I thought it looked so cute with his suspenders on!

Big thanks to Nana Smidt and Ninny for sending our family a LOT of Valentine's Day goodies! The girls had SOOOOO much candy that day, hahaha! They loved it.

So, Shawn and I celebrated OUR Valentine's Day over the weekend. I LOVE our tradition of making sushi and watching Valentine's Day....but Lucy was having an extremely rough night that night, so we weren't able to totally shake it off and have fun.  Every 10 minutes we were dealing with another melt-down because she couldn't go to sleep and she was just having a really, REALLY rough time with life (that's ADHD for you!).  I guess that's also part of being a parent right? I just wish we were able to get a babysitter once a month! Life would be so much easier! Oh well.... our sushi still tasted delicious, and there's always next year to try again!

 Anyway, that brings me to present day where me and the girls went to the mall and hit up some of the awesome President's Day sales! Well, when I say that I just mean I bought the kids a bunch of clothes on sale that they needed, haha. It was a really good day! I love 3 day weekends! Back to schedules tomorrow though, dang it!

Happy President's Day everyone! (And here's a picture of Fitz, just because!)
