Carter rides and we roll!!

Carter learned how to ride a bike yesterday, and he was perfecting it today!! He is so proud of himself, and we are proud of him too. I guess I know what we'll be doing this weekend!
So Craig and I had our "Valentine" date tonight (actually last night since it's after midnight now!), and we had a great time! Neither of us put much stock in the whole Valentines Day hoopla, but our children were so excited not just about their valentine surprises, but about the fact that mommy and daddy were going on a "valentine date"! Ava wanted to know what we were doing and where we were going, and upon finding out, her reply was......"awww, that's a nice daddy, mommy. You "cited'?" Seriously one of the cutest things she has ever said!!

I've been thinking lately that Craig wouldn't know what to order me to drink at a restaurant because he doesn't seem to pay attention to the little things..........well, I was wrong!
Yesterday when I came downstairs there was a valentines card and a jumbo box of milkduds waiting for me on the counter. Milkduds are my all time favorite candy!........See? he knew that I would throw a fancy box of chocolates in the garbage...............I guess he DOES pay attention after all!
(I got him some "naughty" candy.......ha!ha!hee!hee!.......)

Anyways, we went to the movie Definitely Maybe which was quite good I must say (not as good as Juno, but a worthwhile flick),and then we ate at California Dreaming. I've wanted to try that restaurant since it opened a few months ago. It was awesome! Very fun and funky restaurant, perfect for two fun and funky people!! ha!ha!....................(well, I'm fun and Craig is fun with an extra n and a y on the end! ha!)
Seriously, it was so great just being the two of us. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our life and our children's lives, we neglect to take time for the two of us together. Just taking a night to go out and spend time with eachother is like great medicine for the soul!
It was alltogether a great night!

Ok, time for bed....................dishboy says he's tired! (yes, he is retaining the name dishboy.........due to the fact that the "part" to the dishwasher that was going to "fix everything" arrived today........yet the funniest most UNEXPECTED thing happened when it was "installed"...................STILL NOT WORKING!!....................hmmm, I'm thinking that I MIGHT of, COULD have, most likely DID tell him NOT to go "ordering parts", because he had NO idea what to do with them when they got here anyways..............but alas.........................................sigh...............................remember the milkduds Heidi.................................well, I might have to get a milkduds poster to tape to my dishwasher............................
