happy valentine’s day!

February 14th 2012

hope you had a wonderful valentine’s day!

we started our morning off with lots of sweet kisses and hugs from eleanor (she has recently figured out how to give us ‘squeeze’ hugs and we are eating them up!) i woke up to a new tea kettle in my kitchen this morning (i’ve been needing and wanting a new one for a while now) and pretty flowers were delivered this afternoon from my love (kingsley kindly ate half of them before i even saw them. that’s what i get for letting him out into the front yard to go potty without actually looking at my front stoop.) tonight, josh and i tried out casa nonna for dinner and fell in love with their cavatelli.
despite eleanor going potty during her bath today (so much fun for mommy to clean up, let me tell you!), getting a parking ticket even though the parking meter was broken (i swear those meter maids will be the end of me) and shattering a glass cup all over my kitchen this morning, today hasn’t been so bad. i like valentine’s day.

    Haha this was an adorable post! I hope you're cute little family had a wonderful valentine's day! (despite the small hiccups!)

    :)

  3. aww… glad you had a great valentine's day. mine was similar, in that there were several… mishaps. including my little miss having an accident in the bathtub. although unfortunately that was only 1 of 5 big potty accidents for the day :( i'm hoping that tomorrow is even better than vday was over here, haha.

    Aww, Kingsley just wanted to feel the love too! Loving these valentines day posts, its so lovely to read nice romantic things. The photos you posted are excellent, and waking up to flowers and a new tea kettle really is super cute! I didn't get to see my husband for v-day as he was making everybody else's romantic dinners at work.

  15. Happy Valentines day! Your family is so adorable.
    I'm glad Josh found you a tea kettle. I thought the customer looking for a tea kettle at Urban looked familiar! :)

  16. At least you're viewing everything with a "glass half full" mentality – glad you had a good day. For the most part :)

    Also, eating your flowers sounds just like something my dogs would do!

  54. Lievebee

    really cute! you inspire me to bring me camera more places!

  55. caroline

    It's really easy to get parking tickets dismissed in DC. Did you report the broken meter before you parked there? Even if you didn't it's worth a try.

  56. Hilary

    I love the instax pics. I've been wanting to get me a camera like that. Sounds like you had an interesting valentines day. Mine was pretty boring since my husband had to work late, but then when we were trying to go to bed I heard a bunch of sirens stop outside our building. There were firemen trying to get in our apartment and I yelled down the pass code. Apparently there was a small fire down the hall from us. So the day ended with some action.

  57. Love your dress and Eleanor's! Your style always inspires me to get out of my mama sweats ;-)

    Rough day, huh? Every since Baby Lulu was born, I have been dying for someone to take my doggies off my hands. It's just too much to deal with! Except who gives away their dogs after the baby's born?! Well a lot of people. Further reason not to. Don't want to be a cliche!

    adorable post! i love how your valentine's day was deemed good despite the little things- that just brightened MY day :) and really, who gives a ticket on valentine's day?! rude.

  67. brittany

    somehow the good seems to always outweigh the bad, doesn't it! and just look at all that love you had on v-day :) so wonderful.

  68. aw, besides those little mishaps, your valentine's day sounds flawless. especially with those new squeezable hugs!
    p.s. love the baby bump!!

    Wow, you took V-day like a champ! Those kinds of little accidents would totally leave me sobbing. Especially since I'm a preggo emotional mess. I'm glad things worked out for the best =)
