Under-Achiever

Valentine's Day has such potential...but this year, it definitely was an under-achiever. It all started Saturday, when our MASH group was headed to Pappasito's for a romantic dinner and good time with good friends. Levi had to go with us, but we were totally ready to have a good time anyway. Well, he started out fussy before we even left, but we didn't think too much of it. But, after getting our dinner, about 4 bites in, he threw up all over himself and the floor. That was the end of our Valentine's date. It's been downhill from then on. I suggested to Shawn that maybe we at least try to go bowling as a family on Monday, for the girls, because I still wanted it to be special for them....Levi spoiled that too. When he got up Monday morning he was running a high fever and really not doing well. Took him to the dr and his ear infection that he just took antibiotics for 10 days for, was still there. So more antibiotics and back home to care for a VERY fussy baby all afternoon. Dinner was eaten in shifts :( But, at least on the morning of Valentines, both girls got a big homemade card from us and a yummy marshmallow candy thing. Shawn also made them pink heart pancakes and even made me one! So, not the most romantic or exciting Valentine's every, but such is life with kids!

Shawn said he made a chicken-claw arrow...or at least that what it looked like!
