After Dakota finished studying today we decided to take our Valentine Celebration on the road. The kids really wanted to go to McDonald's for their special treat so we headed there (oh yeah - we know how to party!). Sadly, the play area was locked up so they didn't get to play but they still had a good time. We even hit the Red Box on the way out. Gotta love movies for a $1.00.
After an early meal, we headed out to Fred Meyer (think Kroger's for those of you not in this area) to return a dress that Dakota's sister had given Kaylen for her birthday. Kaylen had deemed the dress "too itchy" and there is no point keeping something she will never wear. Luckily, Dakota's sister was already in the know about Kaylen's sensory issues surrounding clothes so she handed us the receipt at Kaylen's birthday party.
We found a dress that passed Kaylen's inspection (and yes, that includes trying it on and wearing it for a bit to make sure it's acceptable) and all was right with the world.
We decided to look around for a while because who doesn't like to look at rows of toys and tv stands? :) The kids had a great time just being out and about. A nice way to spend a Valentines Day evening. Life sure changes once you have kids. :)

I see this as a sign of a mature relationship .... when we put our children first and quit looking for Cupid to ring the bells and make our backbones shiver on Valentine's Day (or any other day). Isn't it nice to be in love, and not in luuuuuuuuuuuvvv? :) Mature love, especially with children, does a smack down, IMO.
Yes life does but in good ways!!!!
