Well, February has come and gone; it always seems to go so fast.
For Valentine's, Brett and I got away from Ellie for lunch and got ourselves some free Chipotle burritos; then we went over to Sips & Sweets for a Dr. Razz float. It's funny how easily you forget about simple pleasures in life like eating a meal without having to feed a child or make sure the child is quiet or that the child isn't making a mess. You simply order food, and then you eat it as fast or slowly as you wish and you get to focus on talking to your spouse. It was nice.
Brett's birthday was last weekend and he told me he would rather have muffins instead of cake and he wanted to open his gift in the morning; so on Friday morning we put a candle in a muffin and Ellie and I (really just I) sang happy birthday to him. While we aren't normally big spenders, we did get some steaks at Texas Roadhouse, custard at the new Freddy's in Temple, & Brett set up his new orange colored Fit Bit.
Ellie is starting to make church difficult to say the least. I don't get it, our almost 2 year old just doesn't like to sit still on a bench for over an hour... :P . We're trying the new thing called parenting where we make sitting on the bench with books, and activities more fun than being in a dark empty classroom with no toys or people. We'll see how it goes... there will probably be tears.
