Valentine's Day and Sunday Dinner

I hope you had as nice a weekend as we did!  And Happy Valentine's Day!

We didn't do much special for V-day, but we spent the whole day hanging out, just the three of us.  It was a very nice day, and we were sure not to clutter it up with any chores.  We started with a good breakfast together.  Breakfast was followed by Sweetpea's new favorite activity: pushing stuff.  

Then we went to the store to get what we needed for our gnocchi dinner we were planning on making.  Here's Sweetpea discovering a fun new veggie at the market!

How do you like her jacket?  That's Target Baby Couture!  

Later we went out to a late lunch with my dad, which was fun and delicious, but ruined us for dinner.  We caught the last hour at the library, where there are lots of fun toys and kids to play with.  


Yesterday we managed to get to many of our chores.  My DH even got some work done out in the garden, and Sweetpea got some fresh air watching him from some blankets on the lawn while I made the gnocchi.  

When she came in she took a tour of the kitchen cupboards and discovered a fun new box.  I turned around from emptying the dishwasher, and there she was with a box of shortbread girl scout cookies emptied out on the floor, one in each hand.  So I had to set her up to eat them properly... (don'tcha just love that jack o' lantern bib in Feb.?)  She sure did her best to fit both cookies, whole, into her mouth at once.  I think maybe she found that box, and now she knows I've been holding out on her.  She's been looking for it in there every time she opens the doors, but I moved it to another cupboard.  

Well, dinner did get made, and our friends came to help us enjoy it!!  Here's a shot of what we do for fun now that there's a baby around!!  

Though once she went to bed, we let them school us in a game of Cranium.  They were our guests after all.
