Happy First Valentine's Day

It was Kinley's first out of the womb Valentine's Day! On Fri. Matt came home with a flower for her and some for me too! I was so proud that he thought of her! (and me) But I just never know what his crazy mind is thinking. He did good this year! He said, "When I was at the florist I realized that holidays are going to be very expensive for me here on out." LOL At least he is realizing this now! Tonight (Sat.) we decided to go out to eat. He asked if I wanted to get someone to watch Kinley but I said no way! The only problem with that is you have to go somewhere where it is very loud because we all know how loud Kinley is. I can just imagine us at a nice restaurant with our almost 10 month old as young college kids are there trying to enjoy their meals together. That could turn a romantic night into a nightmare real fast for people. So we decided on............Brown's Catfish! Now if that's not romantic I don't know what is! For those of you who don't know...Brown's is a very very good catfish/seafood buffet style restaurant. There are always tons of people and its very loud. It's the perfect place to take your kid! In fact there were tons of kids with their grandparents. I guess the parents actually went on a real Valentine date! Oh well, we'll get them next time. I just really have no desire to go places without Kinley. With all that said, remember there were LOTS of grandma's there. It kinda reminded me of the VFW or something! So, what do g-ma's do...try to make your kid laugh. This one woman was behind us in line (we waited for about an hour) and she just kept on trying her best to get Kinley to do, I don't know what! Then the moment finally came when she said "Can she come see me?" I know she was an innocent old lady but why in the world would I want my kid to go to a complete stranger that I met in a buffet line? But you have no choice really but to say "if she will come to you." And of course Kinely just goes to anyone so the lady held her while I watched very closely and at the first sign of a squeal I jumped in and got her back. She didn't try to hold her after that but I just can't figure out why ppl think we want you to hold our kids. Oh well it was all harmless but if I don't know you don't ask to hold my kid! If I know you, sure! :) For all of you without kids: JUST DON'T ASK TO HOLD A STRANGERS KID, you will understand this more when you have your own. (or maybe I'm the only one that thinks this way) All in all, we had a great night and fun time with each other and Kinley! Happy V-Day to everyone!
