Yesterday was Valentines Day. The night before (Sunday) I ironed Nick's shirt and pants so I wouldn't have to rush in the morning. Nick let me sleep in a little, then he got the baby up and I started breakfast for the 3 of us while he made coffee. I put on a cd of our songs and he slow danced with me in the kitchen while waiting for the kettle to boil.
I gave Nick his present - the Life of Brian on dvd, made him some pasta for lunch and sent him off to work.
Elana spent most of the day playing in various rooms of the house, including her new playroom [Sunday Nick and I cleaned out the study (read junk room) and brought his desk out to the lounge got the computer off the dining table and turned the study into a playroom for all Elana's toys - she loves it] and running from he playroom to me, over to a corner of the china cabinet that had some papers and a photo frame that I thought she couldn't reach but she could and everytime I removed her, told her to stop or said Elana Grace -- she giggled. it was absolutely hilarious Mummy's trying to discipline me - HAH. Finally I removed the items and Elana -where she threw a tantrum after finding that they'd been moved.
I called Nick to tell him what his darling daughter was up to.
Nick came home just after 4pm and he didn't play World of Warcraft at all - instead we watched the Life of Brian and played with Elana then he went out for his session and I got Elana ready for bed, washed my hair, set the table and changed into my little black dress.
Nick came home and heat up the pan for the steaks while he had a shower and got dressed and in no time we were sitting at our newly cleaned off dining table in good clothes (no shoes) with jersey lilly's and pepper steak.
After dinner we had apple pie, he played some WoW and I watched Desperate Housewives and then we watched the season 4 series final of Coupling together - oh I really really hope theire's a season 5.
Oh - and my Valentines present - The Notebook on dvd. We BOTH read and loved the book a few months ago and had been planning on seeing the movie, but we never made it and it came out on dvd last week and now I have it, so we're going to find some time this weekend and watch it together.
It was a really really nice Valentines Day.
