Valentine's Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend! Started out Friday night when the kids spent the night with my parents and Jeff and I got a date! It was actually 10 years ago this week we went out on our first date so we were celebrating that and Valentine's day!
We went to Huey's and a movie like we did on our first date! It was very yummy and then he took me to a "chick flick"(he loves me) We saw He's Just Not that Into You! It was very cute and I highly recommend...and the Malco gift card my parents gave us for Christmas went to GREAT use!
We picked up the kids Saturday morning and I had already hid their presents around the house. So pretty much as soon as we walked in the door they were ready! I had Parker read each clue out loud then him and Lyndee RAN to get their treats! Lyndee is still a little young for this but she followed her big brother squealing! I decided to hide a present for each of them in each place since she is his "shadow"! They each got a Valentine's book, candy (of course), coloring books, stickers, and more (most of which I got at Dollar Tree) I am not big on the commercialness of the holiday I tell Jeff and the kids I love them every day! It is fun watching them run for their prizes!
Jeff had taken the kids out one night last week and I honestly had no clue what they did I thought he had taken them to Chuck E Cheese to play or something...turns out he took them to the mall and they picked out a Hello Kitty for me at Build A Bear! I LOVE it! I wanted to get that one for Lyndee next time we got one but now I have one! They also got me another watch since mine broke like 2 weeks ago and I have been all messed up since I never take my watch off. We don't do presents but Jeff wanted to surprise me! We actually did the same for him and Parker picked out a Star Wars figure he didn't have!

Then last night I surprised my boys with Shrimp in garlic butter sauce since they both LOVE shrimp. I don't like shrimp so I don't cook it too often but when I do they are very excited.
Hope everyone had a great Valentine's day

Menu Planning Monday

Menu Planning Monday! I have been reading this on I'm an Organizing Junkie for awhile now and decided to finally get with it and post my menus! I have been menu planning for years and figured it was time to share!

Monday - beef enchiladas with re fried beans and Spanish rice
Tuesday - Chicken Parmesan with broccoli
Wednesday - A-1 Chili with cornbread in the crock pot (I usually do a crockpot meal at least once a week!) I will probably do soup for the kids since they think chili is too spicy
Thursday - Fish Tacos (so easy just bake fish sticks put in tortillas with lettuce, tartar sauce/salsa) with spring salad
Friday - Date with hubby for Valentine's day! My parents are free to keep the kids (they are going on their own date Sat night) plus Valentine's day is one of the busiest restaurant days
Saturday - Garlic Shrimp over pasta with butter sauce (no we don't normally eat like this but both my hubby and son LOVE shrimp and figured it would be a nice Valentine's day treat)
Sunday - Crescent Hot Dogs Macaroni and cheese

I hope everyone has a great week cooking!
