I came home from work last night to a cooked meal ready at the table with 4 kids already sitting down to eat. Talk about nice. After we had finished eating, Creag went outside to get our goodies out of his truck. Let me just say that he really knows how to spoil us all...
He walked back into the house from the garage with two bouquets of the prettiest flowers for the girls & their faces lit up when they saw them! They were the prettiest purple, pink & white flowers. Absolutely perfect! Things like this make my heart the happiest. It is so important for girls to get this kind of love from their father. These little gestures are going to teach them what kind of man that they want for a husband some day. Women should always be treated very special on days like these & it starts young from their Dad, Step Dad or even their Grandpa. Whoever their main male figure is in their life & I'm so grateful that Creag takes the time to do things like this for the girls. They are very lucky!
He also had a bright lilac orchid in his arm for me along with a small box. I've been wanting an orchid for so long & was so excited to finally get one! I can only hope that it survives my care. When it comes to house plants, I don't have the finest green thumb so we will see in a few months how it's doing. In the small box was a gift card to DSW. I've been holding out on getting a new pair of riding boots all winter because I do not want to pay full price. The ones I wear all of the time have almost seen their last days so he told me that I can now get the boots that I WANT. I capitalized want, because I won't ever buy what I really want, I'll usually just get something similar that's a better price. I'm pretty cheap when it comes to shopping for myself. It's got to be either on clearance or on sale or I will not buy it!
After us girls were spoiled, the boys looked a little bummed that they didn't have anything so I gave them the chocolate hearts that I had bought them. That seemed to cheer them up right up! They honestly did not need any other candy because they all came home with tons of it, but what's one more piece?
Wyatt's shirt said "Mr. Right"
After all of that, which was more than enough Creag opened a box that he had gotten from Emerson's Bakery & inside were chocolate cake shaped like hearts w/ Bavarian cream & heart shaped sugar cookies which were for breakfast the next morning (today). They were delicious!
I wish we could've stayed at home and just enjoyed a quiet evening after all of that but let's be serious, that never happens!:) We cleaned up what we could, & quickly I must add then Creag & I changed into our workout clothes & I headed to Silverlake on my own for my Jamz class and he was leaving right behind me with all of the kids. He checked them into Kids Quest while we both worked out & then afterwards he took the boys up to his shop to practice in the batting cages. Hank did a little better this week. If he gets a little better every week before Baseball Season starts he will for sure be more than ready come April! After my class, I checked the girls out of Kids Quest for their last gymnastics class of the session. They're also getting better every week but we're debating on whether or not to re-enroll them for the next session since Spring Soccer is starting in about a month. I guess we'll have to make that decision very soon.
Today was pajama day for Hank so he was excited to wear his pj's & robe to school. He's also had good behavior all week at school & if he's still on green today he's allowed to buy a pretzel from Silverlake tonight. He is constantly asking for one & I'm constantly telling him no, so I hope he gets gets his green. It's all on him though. He doesn't get in trouble for anything major at school, it's always small things like not sitting right on the carpet, or talking out of turn so these are just small things that he needs to work on. With something to work for, like a pretzel, it may help him. Skylar is riding the bus home w/ Evie & sleeping over so she was excited for that. Tonight, I'm taking Sammie to parent/child Zumba. I'll pat myself on the back for 4 days straight of working out when we're finished:) And Creag is going to take the boys with him to Jungle Jim's to get seafood for our seafood boil tomorrow, which everyone is looking forward to! My Dad's birthday was also the 13th, so we're going to celebrate that tomorrow as well. I'm hoping for a fun/relaxing weekend!!
