Valentine's Day

At the end of this pregnancy I really haven't had much energy! Its been hard entertaining a crazy two year-old.  I really wanted to throw a little Valentine's Day party (I'm trying to meet more people in our ward) and invite Madeleine's friends.  Well, I had the hardest time getting the motivation to decorate or really do much, but I did make heart shaped cookies and bought candy and frosting to decorate (I couldn't even make my own frosting...lol)

But even if I didn't decorate or do anything other than make cookies, Madeleine was thrilled to have a party! She was soo excited and the morning of threw a few fits while waiting for her friends to come.  It is so hard to see yummy cookies and not eat and she couldn't figure out why her friends weren't there by 8 a.m.  I don't think I'll ever tell her beforehand if we are having a party again! 

She loved decorating and ate WAY too many cookies.  She also had fun with her little friends so overall it was a success.  I got just a few pictures...

Madeleine's decorating masterpiece

Brody and I decided to celebrate and get a babysitter! I had a free credit on a babysitter site so the sitter was free. We went to dinner at a yummy Italian place and we tried a rabbit dish! It was delicious and so was all the pasta.  Unfortunately, Madeleine didn't do so well with the babysitter and refused to go to sleep for her.  We ended up going home and putting her to bed and then tried to go out again--well apparently M woke up and the sitter didn't text or call me so Madeleine stayed up until we got home at 10 pm.  She was horrific the rest of the weekend and her sleep was off for days.  But at least we got to eat a delicious meal without a screaming toddler in tow.

Oh and Brody got his pregnant wife a scale for Valentine's Day. How romantic.
