insta-friday {valentine's edition}

I am so so so in love with the camera on my phone.  Not just that it takes super pictures for a phone, but also that it's just THERE, easy and accessible and I take way more pictures of our normal everyday than ever before.

Here's a peak back at our Valentine's week via my phone.

We started the week out with a family date night.

 Shopping for new shoes for Daddy

And then dinner at Olive Garden.

My girl knows how to order - chicken alfredo is both our fav!

It was Mr. Gavin's first family date night - and I think he loved it.

We also took the kids to Walmart to spend their gift cards from Uncle Jason and Aunt Stacy.

Mason spotted something he really hopes to get for his birthday.  He took this picture so that no one would forget about it.  Daddy was proud.  We need some OU stuff around here I guess.

 Here's the only picture I got of Taylor's Valentines for preschool.  On the back we put Matthew 5:16, "let your light shine before men..."

Thanks Pinterest!  But no thanks to Walmart and the 2 packages of glowsticks that we bought with all the glowsticks glowing already when we opened the package. I realize that 10:30pm runs to the store to pick up forgotten school supplies will be inevitable down the road - but really, for preschool?  Man, that's starting way too soon.

For lunch on V-day we met Daddy at Arby's.

And thanks to a fussy little baby, Mason and I got to finish lunch alone while the rest of the fam went to the car.

I told Mason it was our "date". So we decided to take some pictures.

Daddy came home with guns and roses for all of us.

Well, a gun for the boy, and roses for his girls.

And we had a heart shaped pizza for dinner.  Half sausage for mom and dad, and half pineapple for the kids.

Now we have a birthday party to prepare for in a few weeks.  And if a certain little boy can stop changing his mind on what kind of party he wants every other day - maybe I'll have more than 2 days to plan and get things done for it.
