Happy Valentine's Day!

Ok, so I'm one day late, but we were super busy all weekend with activities and I didn't want to miss the fun by being on the computer. 

Let's see, first we had a soccer game Saturday which turned out to be against a team of 7 of the largest (not fat, tall) children I have ever seen.  They were twice the size of even our largest kid on the team, so about 3 times Hayden's size.  They were from the south side of town and I don't know what the hell is in the water over there but these kids were gigantic! 

After the game, Matt took me shopping for new clothes for me and for Hayden.  We had an awesome time at the mall as a family and we all got some really cute new things.

Saturday afternoon, we relaxed together with sidewalk chalk, games and Valentine card making which was a lot of fun.  I love that Hayden is begning to write his name on things that he makes and it makes cards and stuff just that much more special!

Yesterday was an awesome day all around.  We got up and exchanged gifts...A movie and chocolates for MeeMaw, a video game for Daddy, Chocolates for Mommy and the best of all, 3 squirt guns for Hayden.  Let me tell you, I am absolutely 100% against guns in my house, but Hayden really wanted to have a squirt gun fight, so I found some very kid friendly looking ones that did not in any way resemble guns and he absoutely loved them.  We had a huge water fight in the yard with lots of screaming, running and hiding.  We are already planning to get more so we can use them in the summer when it's a billion degrees outside.  You should have seen Hayden...he was the happiest kid in the world when he got to squirt us with water and run away to hide.  I can't wait to play with them again tomorrow!

After we had breakfast, we finished up on our usual grocery shopping and then headed to a birthday party for Juliette, our friends' adorable daughter.  They had a Princess jumping castle, a snowball fight, and best of all, cake from Nadines that was dairy free.  When Hayden found out the cake was safe for him to eat, he was really excited and he ended up eating a huge piece of it.  The party was awesome and the weather couldn't have been better.  Plus, I got some beautiful pictures of Hayden.

Last night, Matt and I got to go out on a special date just the two of us.  We went to the mall and I bought new shoes, then we ate dinner at the Bamboo club and saw the movie Valentine's Day.  It was an absolutely amazing evening and I am so glad we were able to go out and have couple time.  Hayden got spoiled by MeeMaw for the evening so he had just as much fun as we did! 

I suppose that's about all the main stuff that happened this weekend.  Today we had firefighters visit our class and I got a super cute picture of Hayden with a fire hat on.  My co-teacher Debby is supposed to be emailing it to me so if I get it tomorrow I'll post it.  For now, here's some beautiful pictures from this weekend!!
