Dear Hiedi...I love you

Wow, I am SO happy that Valentine's Day is over! Okay, so it's actually tomorrow but I am quite ready for the holiday to be done. But don't get me wrong, we had a GREAT Valentine's Day Weekend. I don't actually think we're going to do anything tomorrow, since we're pretty much all done with it. I have done way too many crafts, which you can see on my craft blog, but here is something I didn't post:
Somehow all our crafts lately end up with Will covered in red stuff.

Friday we got a babysitter and went to this restaurant in Scottsdale called T. Cooks. It is at the Royal Palms spa and hotel and is pretty dang fancy. We even got dressed up in a dress and suit. I kind of wish that I wasn't hugely pregnant though, since it's hard to feel normal when your mid section is jutting out a good six inches. But my hair did look exceptional, I just have to announce. At the restaurant, we had reservations and they had rose petals on the tables. They had a special Valentine's menu, and I ordered the lobster bisque, the duck, and a chocolate mousse for dessert. Aaron got a grilled salad, lobster with caviar ravioli, and a strawberry mousse. That's right people, we are fancy! If only for one night. It was kind of funny to play pretend that we were rich and live a night on the town, only to come back to our small apartment in our fairly ghetto town. And watch a cheesy lifetime movie.
I would love to say that Aaron surprised me with these...when the reality was more like us together at the grocery store last week, we picked them out together and he said, 'these are your Valentines flowers by the way.' Swoon! But hey, last night he gave me a sweet gift of Dove chocolates and an Itunes gift card.

Saturday we spent most of the day working, me at sewing and Aaron on homework. And of course Will was working really hard on making giant messes. But Saturday night we made sugar cookies, the big soft cakey kind that Aaron doesn't really like. Will loved rolling out the dough and punching in the heart cutter. At first he didn't really get it and just started eating the dough like a cookie, but he caught on quick and had a great time. The cookies were VERY rich though and I haven't a clue as to how to get rid of them all right now. Making desserts is always kind of a good/bad thing for me, since we would like to eat the yummy things we make, but not ALL of them. And I am also too lazy to go deliver them around to other people. Rough life.
We also did the awesome frosting method of buying pre-made frosting, microwaving it so it's soupy, then dipping the cookies in it. Much faster and cleaner looking than the knife method. And then I wrapped up several of them in red cellophane to give to my laurels. I wish I had more laurels, because then I wouldn't have as many cookies left to get rid of.

It has been a great V-day. Much better than Aaron and my first one, when he misspelled my name on the card...
