about my date!

In the morning I woke up and Nicky was already so excited to go and watch a movie with me. So we bathed and got ready for our date. Unfortunately when I went to her room I noticed one of her dolls was in the trash and broken. So I had to tell her something about it. In my mind I was thinking, "CRUMBS THIS DATE IS OVER AND RUINED!" But then Nicky apologized and we "fixed" the problem. I was fixing her hair trying new syles. The first one was lots of small ponytails in front of her hair in a line. She saw herself in the mirror and started laughing. I asked her if she liked it and she told me with a laugh, "NO! IT LOOKS LIKE A CROCODILE MOUTH!" I joined her laughter and changed the style. I made a half ponytail and I used a pinnk rubber band to hold it up, then I asked her to see herself in the mirror. She then giggled and told me, "MOMMY, I DON'T LIKE IT. IT LOOKS LIKE AN ICE CREAM CONE!" I laughed again and finally I asked her what she wanted and she told me, "MOM I JUST WANT MY 2 CHONGOS (PONYTAILS) AND MY BANGS. THAT'S ALL." She kept laughing though so at least it wasn't anything dramatic like usual. After that I let the kids play with Glenn who by the way was so nice again with me. He bought me some flowers, a new blender, and of course my favorite chocolate-dipped strawberries with pecan crumbs. Anyway after that we decided to open the kids' Valentines. Nicky was very excited when she got her bf Jay's candies. She and Ian ate them so fast. Then we went to drive around the neighborhood and came back home. Nicky was asking me, "ARE YOU SURE WE ARE GOING TO WATCH A MOVIE?" I told her we were just going to droop off daddy and Ian at home and then we were going to hit the theatre. So we finally went to watch "Coraline" (after the first 15 minutes I was yawning and about to sleep). Nicky on the other hand was so excited and always waiting for something to happen in the movie with the classic, "SHH! SHH! WATCH, WATCH, LOOK WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!" I bought her popcorn and something to drink. She asked me to add some nacho cheese to the popcorn and she loved it. It was quite tasty if I must give my opinion. Anyway, after the movie we went and looked around the stores. Of course when we were at Victoria Secret it was funny when she saw a manniquin with a bikini and told me, "EWWWWWW, GROSS! WE DON'T LIKE THOSE; WE DON'T LIKE SHOWING OUR UNDERWEARS, EITHER." If at least she would have said it soft....anyway more than one giggle came after that sentence. Afterwards she told me she wanted a smootie, so we went and bought smoothies for both of us. Then we stopped by at the playground in the mall and I let her play for 15 minutes. After that we were talking about the movie and the wonders of life.

We came home and Ian as always welcomed me with a big smile and screaming, "MOMMY, MOMMY!" Until he saw Nicky's smoothie he practically pushed me away and told me, "I WANT JUGO (juice)." So Nicky was so generous that she ended up giving him the rest of the smoothie.
Yesterday Glenn and Nicky had their date. Ian and I went to the park with the girls in the neigbhorood to exchange some Valentine treats. I was surprised that all the kids were playing together...ALL OF THEM from Taylin (5 yrs old) to Kennedy (19 months old). I love seeing all of them playing together and being nice to each other...most of the time :) Glenn told me he had a good lunch with Nicky at her school. She has become very popular with her boy classmates. I'm not scared because Glenn and I have noticed that she doesn't pay attention to them. She totally told me she is waiting for Jay...kids. Of course she also told me, "LOOK, MOMMY! SINCE JAY IS NOT HERE, MASON WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND, AND WHEN JAY COMES BACK WE CAN GET MARRIED IN THE TEMPLE!" What is with this face in the bf's picture?!

Anyway Glenn and I have been celebrating V-day since yesterday. But our big day will be sometime in the future. I normally baked and cooked for him, but this year it has been hard with the pregnancy. I feel better, don't get me wrong, but we also are taking our precaution by not abusing my good health. I'm so tired. Anyway I wish you all had a great V-day.
